Per one tech forum this week: “Google has quietly installed an app on all Android devices called ‘Android System SafetyCore’. It claims to be a ‘security’ application, but whilst running in the background, it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more making this application ‘spyware’ and a HUGE privacy concern. It is strongly advised to uninstall this program if you can. To do this, navigate to 'Settings’ > 'Apps’, then delete the application.”
Not on mine, it doesn’t. I don’t use the Play Store. I don’t have Google Play Services. And I don’t have Google Apps installed. And I’m running Lineage OS. So, fuck you Google.
There’s one in every thread.

And they never say it in a helpful way, either. It’s always done in a smug way.
I can suffer a little smugness if it brings in to the fold atleast one dude who’s never heard of LineageOS
I’ve been considering putting graphene on my pixel for a month or so now, I’m just in tech and have a shit load of MFA entries in multiple apps that don’t sync anywhere, and I don’t have the energy to redo all that shit at work when I barely have enough time to do my normal shit…
I used to live rooting and throwing custom rooms on my phone, but I’ve been out of that for a decade and don’t have a usable spare device to test/use as a backup.

how do you make sure that you always have the latest aegis backup somewhere else? did you automate uploading it somewhere?
You can’t export your MFA? Aegis for example allows this.
Aegis is amazing for standard TOTP (6 digit code that changes every 30 minutes), but there are also proprietary OTP that require own apps and usually do not support export and would require to set it up from 0. Microsoft for example have push notifications that I love and prefer over TOTP, but for recovery purposes I have TOTP added in Aegis as well so if I ever loose MS Authenticator data, I will not be locked out.
