Turning on the iPhone’s Stolen Device Protection is simple—it’s just one small toggle in your phone’s settings.
There is one crucial detail that the article doesn’t mention: Find My iPhone must be enabled to enable SDP. That is to say, enabling Find My (along with biometric authentication) is a prerequisite for SDP.
The official GrapheneOS Twitter account states the complete opposite on several occasions:

Many people have the misconception that they’re defeating the purpose of GrapheneOS by using privacy invasive apps but in fact the opposite is true. If you want to use those apps, then using GrapheneOS allows you to protect your privacy from them far better than another OS.

GrapheneOS arguably makes the biggest difference for someone who is going to be using a bunch of mainstream apps including very privacy invasive ones. They need features like Storage Scopes and Contact Scopes more.

You’ll substantially benefit from our privacy and security features without making significant changes to your apps. In fact, you’ll benefit more from features like Storage Scopes, Contact Scopes, Sensors toggle, etc. if you use a bunch of very privacy invasive apps.
What RSS is recommended?
To add on to the video transcript that @jet@hackertalks.com posted, here is Jonah’s post from the Privacy Guides forum that more or less summarizes the video: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/clarify-tors-weaknesses-with-respect-to-observability/3676/14
It also includes links to useful resources and noteworthy articles referenced in the video, like the case regarding the deanonymized Tor user and the Harvard network admins. You can also toggle dark mode on the forum website, which is useful for those using anti-fingerprinting browsers such as Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser.
I use Stremio + Torrentio and the torrents that are cached show up but can’t play anything at the moment.
I am also encountering this; “Playback error, please try again” is the error message that Stremio presents.
I want an android style permissions menu
Same. In addition to the prompt-based permissions that @Kusimulkku@lemm.ee brings up, I’d like to see more granular control of permissions. For example, a flatpak app’s access to webcams, controllers, etc. are all controlled through just one permission: --device=all (aka “Device Access” in KDE’s Flatpak Permission Settings).
2FAS which seems recommended for data privacy.
By whom?
There is a discussion in the Privacy Guides forum on 2FAS that you might want to read.
Also, you don’t specify which platform you’re using. As @I_Am_Jacks_____@lemmings.world mentioned, Aegis for Android is great. For iOS, the pull request to include ente Auth in the Privacy Guides recommendation page for authenticator apps is already merged. It will reflect on the live website once the Privacy Guides team decides to release v3.17 of the site.
Hopefully, this release also includes this fix for forced Vsync for fullscreen games under KDE Wayland.
Excellent overview!
I have one data point to add: Real-Debrid accepts Privacy.com virtual cards, so this is another payment method to consider if you want to protect yourself from possible data breaches on Real-Debrid’s side.
To add on to this tip, for anyone who is reluctant to or cannot install an extension on their browser, you can copy and paste the YouTube link into the search bar of your favorite Piped instance and hit Enter.
If you’re up for another recommendation, I suggest trying out Innertune [Link to Github repo]. It has been discussed on the GrapheneOS Discussion Forum as an alternative to Spotify for music streaming. Also, Innertune’s dev released an update recently (2 days ago from the time of this post) that includes a major UI rewrite and other improvements to the app [Link to latest stable release].
I re-upped my Mullvad VPN account for another 6 months.
I subscribed to the MySudo plan that gives you 3 virtual phone numbers.
I created a free Privacy.com account and made a purchase with a virtual card.
For Fedora, replace the current installer (Anaconda) with the openSUSE Tumbleweed installer.
One of the aspects I love about the openSUSE TW installer is the ability to remove groups of packages for the initial install. This is particularly useful if you never use certain programs or intend to replace them with the Flatpak version.
