I do this. Its great because of catchall emails and the ability to make one address per merchant. Then if a company leaks your email or gets hacked, you can simply change the email from hacked-company@domain.tld to hacked-company2@domain.tld and block the old address.
It also is good for ownership as you said. If Tuta gets purchased by Google (for example), then you can simply pivot to any of the many other email providers and not rely on a company being not evil.
Unfortunately you can get a secure phone OR that. No overlap.
Edit: maybe one day
Why should you? As a non-cat owner, I am curious about the privacy implecations of it. Also the benefits.
Telegram X works for me
Got flip phone recommendations?
Which fuse? And links to a guide?
USB C to AUX adapters work for me.
Having a secure and up to date device should likely be more important
Yes. Many security updates come from upstream AOSP and then are put into GOS.
So when a device has stopped getting AOSP updates, it is unreasonable for GOS to continue support it. They can and I believe they have applied more critical security patches to just barely EOL devices, but this isn’t promised or expected.
https://endoflife.date/pixel This is for googles support. GOS may support a specific device a little longer than google but does not promise to and recomends getting a newer device.
Pixel 8a looks real good right now.
Don’t get attached to phones.
