...which isnt just​ "quit".

I'm curious to hear from all the people who encountered a dysfunctional or toxic workplace and got good at:

* Surviving a toxic workplace where others got let go.

* Navigating a minefield where you had to tread a fine line between solving technical issues sanely and quickly and the political impediments to making that happen.

* If not thriving, at least carving out a space for yourself that made the job tolerable.

Is there any way to self host some of these graphene proxies or a plan to allow it?

for example:

* secure user plane location proxy

* predicted satellite data service

* internet connectivity checks

at the moment the only options seem to be google, graphene run server or nothing.

I keep getting Expected URL scheme "http" or "https" but no scheme was found when trying to download apps.

Search still works fine. *Occasionally* I get through but it's one time in 10.

I guess google is laying down the banhammer harder these days.

I've got a banking app which is otherwise working fine but every so often it is making a request via sandboxed google play services for telephone permissions.

Obviously I would prefer not to grant them, but I'm afraid if I don't the app will get upset and stop working. For the time being it is just complaining a lot and still working.​

Is there typically a way to make it happy without​ giving sandboxed play services access? What does everybody else do to mitigate this?

I'm assuming this is probably anti fraud detection. This is my first experience with sandboxing play services and I'm very happy with it so far but I'm not liking this.

Telephony doesn't seem to be one of the permissions where you can grant access and then send dummy data.​

Is it possible to create a segregated environment to use, say, banking apps and google pay with google play services and then run slightly less picky apps with microg in another environment and then even less picky apps in a third environment without anything?

Is this how some people use graphene? Does it work well like this if you do?

I was thinking of getting graphene for my primary phone and then putting "banking" stuff on a second phone but this seems preferable to me. Im trying to decide whether to buy a phone to put graphene on.
