  • Yeah because the US isn’t the best country in the world for secondary education and beyond…

    Our healthcare is expensive and insane, cost of living too high, wages too low, politicians too corrupt, primary education and literacy rates are piss poor, but colleges and universities are still among the top in the world, especially a school like MIT.

    Sure, some colleges are a joke, but that doesn’t mean we don’t also have some of the best of the best.

    Edit: I see your point that comparing MIT within the US is kind of just comparing the best of a limited group. They could say world-wide and they’d probably still be pretty accurate. Regardless of this evaluation, they’re certainly not a small fish on a global level


  • FWIW Obtanium prompts me to update itself. It updates other apps automatically but seems to require me to actually enact the self-update

    For open source apps, this is a decent list and there are probably others like it: Awesome Android Apps

    The grapheneOS Discord also has an apps channel where people discuss different apps for specific purposes and compatibility notes/issues.


  • A lot of this sounds overkill considering OP didn’t say they have an extreme threat model.

    Other things are also just not the recommended practice if you are prioritizing security over privacy. grapheneOS recommends using either acrescent or Google Play store for apps. Obtanium is ok, but they have actively spoken against fdroid and the way that applications are distributed through the fdroid store
