Just an aside, but it may help others who have this issue to share the solution that worked for you

Ah yeah, that is sadly true. Too much lobbying and corruption for this to work the way it's supposed to.

Encapsulated in that "etc." in my first response is "going out of business". This type of response would be way too difficult to get actual numbers for, but it has worked countless times. Just look at all the businesses that are no longer in business at all, they went out of business because they were no longer earning enough to stay viable.

It doesn't matter if the company connects the loss to a specific action (although it would be nice) since the end result is the same, after enough time.

Lastly, I just don't like the idea of my dollars being used by a company to further an agenda that I don't want to support.

I would argue this is actually one of the most effective ways to respond. If enough people do it then the company has to react somehow (by pivoting, etc.). Obviously an organized effort would be better, but the "vote with your money" method isn't anything to ridicule.

I'm on the most recent GrapheneOS with both the Google Camera app and the Graphene camera app installed and enabled, and can confirm the double tap of the power button can be set to open the Google Camera app! Downside is I have no idea how I did it 😅

Easier to get a job if you have a job. Probably should use the earnings to see a therapist to deal with the job application anxiety.

Bold of you to assume my email app has push notifications

It can happen to anyone, even you! All it takes is for you to be a bit tired, stressed, or have a bit of an emotional response and it can quickly spiral.

Hell, even the guy who came up with the term "phishing" clicked a phishing link at the height of his cyber security career and just barely caught himself before providing info.

These people aren't idiots, they are victims who were tricked.

Originally governments wanted backdoors into encryption protocols, but now they seem to want client side scanning (i.e. scanning messages on your phone before it's encrypted and sent out)

Nope, no way to do this. It's not implemented yet. What you could use instead is the app called Shelter to create and manage a work profile. It's less separated than another Graphene profile, but is much more convenient
