Thank you, that comment told me everything I wanted to know.

> according to available statistics

I appreciate you basing your argument in statistics, but if you have them to hand, could you link to them?

It's not that well known, but mpv supports playing youtube videos. I think you need yt-dlp installed.

What features does the wireguard app have that alternatives like WG Tunnel or KabelWacht lack?

I've found Droid-ify more reliable at doing background updates, though it still only manages it sometimes (possibly due in some way to how I installed the apps). Hopefully Fdroid's app will be better at this.

What is considered a good metric?

I don't think it's entirely the same situtation with ads on a blog you read for free vs ads on a device you pay a lot of money for.

Isn't the article about obtaining root from an unprivileged app? The recent GhostLock exploit is potentially usable for this purpose, for instance.

What's stopping you from rooting it and then sshing in? You can then run the adb commands using root access.

Android allows apps to read from the clipboard at will, though it does show a toast. GrapheneOS, I believe, asks for permission first.

Sounds more like implausible deniability.

Wall, you can't tell if they're ignoring it, but it's fairly easy to show they're manipulating it. So a cut-and-dry demonstration is worse than a strong suspicion.

I don't think that follows. You can doomscroll at any screen size, small or big. If they don't fit in your pockets, it's probably harder to doomscroll on the phone, not easier.

Isn't that somewhat pointless if you don't also regularly rotate your ip address?

On the other hand, I use Thumb Key (https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key) and think Unexpected Keyboard doesn't go far enough.

Epicaricacy in English.

The Economist has anonymous writers for almost every article.

> This reads more like an opinion piece than reporting.

That is the style of articles (interpretive analysis) that The Economist does.

Well, you need an account to search.

They can, but for this specifc test, they don't. It's a oneshot with no feedback.
