Those are all subjective. The point of the device is to be pocketable. While it looks small, the font looks totally fine and not cramped to my eyes.

The wealthy are trying to make a final power grab and pivot us into authoritarianism, but they need to move all the pieces into place before they can make it final.

You misunderstand. You offload coding of the software to AI. You offload review of code to other people. You do…nothing? Why does anybody need your involvement? You don’t contribute anything.

How can you expect to release something secure if you don’t know what the fuck you’re doing? You’re literally just hoping to have AI and the community do all the work for you. What exactly are you here for then?

Building something that exactly fits a problem you have is one of the most liberating parts of programming!

Sure, but they literally didn’t build or program anything.

People curse. Get over it. Just goes to show that you don’t have anything to say about the actual point of their comment when you clutch pearls like that.

Fucking yikes.

More like, “Why did you lock your doors, are you diddling kids?”

Because its fucking pathetic. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

FUD?

GrapheneOS users are not significantly increasing the demand for Google hardware.

Nope. I just upgraded my phone not too long ago, and apart from it being a (secondhand) Pixel, Google never entered the process.

Yeah, but that would require talking to people. Fuck that.

That’s a dumb take. IPhone are incredibly popular. Painting every iPhone user as shallow is completely baseless.

Google does NOT need your phone number on GrapheneOS. I’m on Graphene and Google doesn’t have shit.

What’s the point of a hardware switch if it only disables it via software? GrapheneOS has a software switch too.

If my phone had an accessible hardware switch I would absolutely be using it 100% of the time I wasn’t actively on my phone.

Running outdated software can open security vulnerabilities however.

To add to what others are saying, there’s been hard evidence of apps doing this, notably Meta apps.

I’m aware, but if you have the free space, why waste the bandwidth?
