I use ESET and rate of false positives is very low for me (as long as you disable detect "potentially unwanted applications", it asks during installation).

By the way, the evolutionary reason is far more interesting. We need to wear clothes in cold weather because we don't have fur. Why did we evolve to not have fur? Because not having fur allows humans to sweat. Sweating is the most effective way to get rid of excess body heat, far better then panting that many mammals use. This allows humans to run without stopping for much longer than animals, allowing humans to hunt animals by chasing them until they tire out and stop.

Of course, other animals could not evolve sweating because they are unable to use clothes and fire to keep themselves warm without fur.

so we went full circle. From gender being synonym to biological sex. Then making a load of different definitions for gender. And now figuring out we never needed a different definition of gender.

Social media activism in a nutshell.

I think Tutanota (or just Tuta now?) does this, since search works correctly.

I think not using PGP helps Tuta a lot with this, since PGP is really outdated and does not play well with modern features.

XMPP is often neglected even though it’s the most secure, private, fast, and reliable framework for end-to-end encrypted messengers.

This. I studied on how e2ee works in XMPP when I was trying it a few years back. It is absolutely atrocious. I have seen half-assed school projects with better security than most XMPP clients. Largely caused by encryption being bolted on through an extensions of the standard as an afterthought and going throug several revisions. Its usually not even enabled by default.

Now you may find a good client implementation, I think conversations for android seemd decent, but with everyone using a different client and no way to ensure the other side uses a secure one, there is little point.

This post is the personification of why downvotes should be enabled.

Sure, but there are good reasons not to use XMPP if you need security.

As dark ark say, the official mullvad app allows split tunneling. I have split tunneling enabled for things where I am logged in with my real identity. No point hiding my IP from steam when they have my credit card number with my name.

As I understand it, it is not impossible, just too much effort to register an esim without google services. However, once registered, they are not needed anymore. So one solution is to register the esim on stock android before installing a custom ROM.

GrapheneOS has an even better solution where you can temporarily install google services in userspace and give them control of the esim module to register an esim and then remove the access and optionally uninstall them.

I never tried calyx, but graphene is great for me. As to your two comments:

  1. Graphene has network acess as a standard permission, so you can just deny network access by not giving permission
  2. Yes, graphene intentionally does not ship with anything but barebones apps so you can install the ones you like. I like this approach a lot more than having bloatware I don't want pre-installed but it is a matter of preference

I would challenge "very secure" but it is secure enough for this usecase.
