    With weed its not straight forward, because many diff strains produce diff outcomes, some can make ur ADHD worse, others better. But buying it on the street will not give reproducible results.

    Shou I get your point but I agree with beefbot Im sure you havnt tried everything...

    When you know something doesnt work, the benefit is that you know to try somthing else.

    Have you tried Religiously Swimming 5 times a week, combined with light-weight excersize at the gym? Add in solid 8 hours of sleep and noFap... For me its a huge boost in Mood and ADHD...

    If not that what about Magic Mushrooms, LSD, Amphetamines?

    You were given the gift of life and time for free... So long as you have it you can spend it to correct your problems.

    For those interested in the answer, I quote an answer.

    Push notifications still go through Google’s servers just like with Play Services

    Yes; that's unavoidable if you want to use applications that make use of them, as they send the notifications to Google server-side, you can't just tell them to do it differently. If you want push notifications that don't go through Google, you can use UnifiedPush, but then the apps must explicitly support it (it's the case for a few apps on F-Droid).

    uses proprietary Google Binaries for some of its components such as DroidGuard

    Only for DroidGuard, which isn't downloaded at all if you don't enable SafetyNet. Your apps will also still include Google binaries of course.

    Choosing a network location like Mozilla to use with microG provides little to no privacy benefit over Google because you are still submitting the same data and trusting them to not profile you.

    That's fairly subjective. You could trust Mozilla more than Google (but in any case Mozilla doesn't provide its network location service any longer, you will have to use something like BeaconDB instead, and of course the same how's for them), and you could still prefer for your location-related data to go to whoever they go without all the identifiers attached that Google gets, since microG doesn't really tell them who you are aside from the unavoidable IP address.

    Finally, at least back in UnifiedNLP times, you could use location providers that weren't actually "network" but let you download offline databases of cells instead. Unofrtunately, that sort of option is much more limited in current versions of microG.

    The single most thing that improved your ADHD?

    I commonly read youtube comments that state a drug like *Strattera* completely changed their adhd for the better. Whilst I havnt tried this(yet) I wondered what other options exist?

    Does microG leak location? - Commonly used in CalyxOS, LineageOS, IodeOS, e/OS/ etc

    Recently looking into the multiple android alternative offerings like CalyxOS, e/OS/, etc and came across these few issues which point towards privacy/security concerns. - microG Push notifications still go through Google's servers just like with Play Services - microG uses proprietary Google Binaries for some of its components such as DroidGuard - Choosing a network location like Mozilla to use with microG provides little to no privacy benefit over Google because you are still submitting the same data and trusting them to not profile you. Are they true and how can I circumvent them?

    Whilst I agree that IP search history is used, this isnt relevant here. We are merely talking via speech within the Signal phone app, then when ending the call and loading a youtube video, the recommended carousel will recommend multiple videos pertaining to things ONLY discussed in the call (never searched)

    More often than not its trivial things... IE mentioning to a friend the other day that I found a special security screw on the floor outside my house... After ending the call and loading a youtube song, My recommended feed shows numerous videos on special types of security screws... Something I havnt searched in over 3 years. Despite never logging into a google service in years, and good internet hygiene

    Another point : The recommended feed on matters discussed during the call dont persist for too long - IE the videos on security screws will be gone within a day, its blatantly obvious tbh.

    The instances I refer are too niche to be "coincidences", more likely Google Violating their own sandboxing rules

    Also, I dont have a Wifi Router in my house.

    This was/is the metric used to learn google is violating the Signal App Sandbox... Not Penis el... but general daily stuff such as mentioning my curtain rail breaking in a Signal Conversation, Then after loading youtube, getting videos about curtains and the likes...

    we dont.

    We get recommendations based on what we mentioned during a call, which in some instances, wasnt searched beforehand.

    Whatever I speak or msg about within Signal App appears on my youtube Recommended

    Using cheap samsung android phone, ive noticed for the last few years and so have my friends, that whatever we discuss during out signall phonecall, appears very blatantly obvious on my youtube recommended feeds. I thought Signal was supposed to be private and automatically sandboxed? If it is, then google clearly bend their own rules and peer into the app. Does this happen to you? what is the explanation? PS The Official Signal Reddit sub removed my post thread when I asked this question there.

    Sorry but I don't believe that. Sounds like a marketing pitch to attract a specific user. Just how EncroChat was marketed to certain people, once enough were on board, they flipped the script and caught all users xD.

    Who announced the FBI couldnt backdoor GrapheneOS? Was it themselves? lol

    You dont use a central singular email address, you use dummy throw away ones with fake names. If it gets leaked, minimal damage.

    I want to deGoogle my phone - Alternatives to GrapeneOs and Pixel(google phones)

    Im not keen on trying to deGoogle only by purchasing a Google pixel... -_- Please provide other options with nothing to do with google or microsoft., Such as Fairphone, etc. As you know(or may not), new CPU's from intel have remote access hardwired, regardless of the OS you are using. I suspect Google outsmarted the GrapheneOS userbase and went one step ahead.
