I’m trying to get back to learning Rethink after giving up on it in 2022. Learning is like building a city. Rome wasn’t built overnight.
Do you guys feel there is a diminishing returns in hardening a phone in terms of privacy and security? Is it worth it chasing the last 10-15% if it requires a significant more effort? This isn’t about the enthusiasts here on PG. This is for the average Joe who probably doesn’t care a whole lot about privacy, but is willing to do something about it as long as there isn’t a lot of friction in the process. For example, an iPhone user will use a VPN with its DNS or NextDNS, install only the necessary apps, and use as many services as possible within the web browser.
Privacy doesn’t necessarily mean total anonymity. It might not be possible to achieve it without a lot of hassle, but taking relatively frictionless steps to achieve something is better than nothing. Agree or disagree?
