For the past year, I've been immersed in the topic of Privacy. I switched to Linux, flashed my phone to LineageOS, changed all my software to one that respects privacy, switched my family and most* friends to Signal, started hating megacorporations and pretty much every government in the world, asked a lot of questions on tiddeR and here. Everything makes sense to me now. I'm a privacy guru🥹. How to move on? What's the next step? 😁

P.S. if you're just at the beginning of your journey, I don't think you'll find a better resource than PrivacyGuides. Highly recommend it!

Do you not find it eats mobile notifications from time to time?

Had it quite a few times where the wife gets annoyed at me for not answering, and the phone has never bingybeeped at me to let me know there was a message.

Whatsapp always worked fine, but Signal has been very hit and miss.

It is very stable for me. Maybe some weird modified by phone manufacturer Android issues? There are many that are specific to some one vendor Android version. I use LineageOS so it is basically stock AOSP Android.

Yep I have found this. It's extremely annoying.
