on I am asked for Gmail · c/privacy · 14 pts · 12d

Google Classroom is generally managed by the School's IT. Your setup is strange if they request public gmail account and not internal account in the school tenant.

  1. Your teacher is correct in not being happy. Giving their personal email to a student is... problematic
  2. Remember that your privacy is already breached when a 3rd party in the communication is using gmail
  3. Simply create a burner gmail account and do not use that for anything else than inside your school's google ecosystem

Beyond Signal support staff impersonation, the agencies said the attacks can also involve outsiders persuading victims to surrender their verification codes or PINs, or abusing the platform's Linked Devices feature via QR codes to take control of accounts.

It's fine, a governement entity can choose any tech they want.

But in this case, the arguments are all wrong. New IM system won't fix human being social engineered.

I've used the PinePhone, it was a fun geeky object to have. Most of my issues where related to the screen-size/format which most apps don't handle well. Yes, apt/yay install does work... but you end up struggling to use it.

PostmarketOS with sxmo was the most usable.

Compared to GrapheneOS or /e/os, it's day and night. You can't compare apples and VHS tapes.

Get a used Micro Business PC & get your favorite debian based OS on it as the jellyfin-client are available in .deb in the git repo.

You now control your ecosystem and no longer subject to greedy 3rd party.
