with fairphone, I am afraid of inferior build quality. Reviews tell they got old hardware and stuff. But will prolly get fairphone once I get some extra money :D

I’ve been using GrapheneOS on Pixel 7 for about 5 months now, and haven’t seen any issues. With this, bootloader is also locked, so no issues there.

Thanks for being the last required part to push me to using sourcehut. I am already loving it.

Kagi is doing surprizingly nice job with the search results. I was an early adopter with beta program, and can happily tell that it has been several months since last time I did the “g!”. I’m in professional plan ($10 as of now). It is so good that I forget it’s existence. It is just there and working nicely!

Yes… I totally agree. I also think there will always be some sacred, little places, just like an oasis in a desert. They will be inaccessible, expensive, or maybe one day illegal, but they will exist, and it is my hope on this issue.

Yep I know the GrapheneOS. My plan is to use my phone for a bit (it is not that cheap in Azerbaijan 😄 ) and then switch to graphene.

Well, good luck to both of us!

Holy shit you did it! Congrats man…

I couldn’t do the transition to Signal because of the family/friends. And the LineageOS thing, I couldn’t do that to my brand new Pixel7, lol. But others are pretty much done at this point. Thanks for PrivacyGuides, didn’t know that!

Yes, it is simplified. But basically this is what happens every time. The pattern is the same.

You are correct, but unfortunately, this is what happens in reality.

lmao. Even after disabling toggles, they got choices like:

• Save my preferences (grayed out) - as much invisible as possible
• Accept (bigger and in blue background) - feels like it will accept based on my choices

They are legally obliged to, lmao. After companies become public, they have to maximize profits, if not, shareholders can simply vote to fire whomever they want. Look at every company on earth. They all with the same road. from facebook, google, to soon-to-be-public reddit.
