Buying a Pixel is a good idea, especially if you put GrapheneOS on it. It’s by far the best mobile operating system I’ve ever used.

Buying a Pixel is a good idea, especially if you put GrapheneOS on it. It’s by far the best mobile operating system I’ve ever used.
Seems like I have 1.6K since I came here in March - that’s 7 months. It would equate to 2.7K if I kept it up at this rate for a whole year.
But GrapheneOS works on them.
And GrapheneOS has call recording btw
Again, many apps are broken.
Which apps do you mean? Most apps work just fine on GOS, even many banking apps and others that require proprietary Google Play services. The only apps that don’t work, are those that make use of Google’s completely stupid “Play Protect” API, which claims to verify that a device is secure, but in reality has absolutely nothing to do with security. Google (and other Big Tech companies) don’t give a single fuck about your security. It’s not Graphene’s fault, and has to do with nothing more than Google’s monopolistic practices. It’s designed in a way, where an operating system has to be manually whitelisted by Google, in order to get certified. Obviously, they only allowlisted their own spyware-filled proprietary OS, which is less secure than Graphene.
Fairphone might be interesting
Unfortunately Fairphones are highly insecure, shipping with a completely broken implementation of Android Verified Boot, and using the publically available AOSP test private signing keys by default to sign the OS. They also lack all the hardware security features present in modern Pixel devices.
I think all the crypto scams, all the shitcoins, NFTs and other blockchain bullshit were much worse. At least AI companies usually don’t require you to give them large sums of money, they’re only after your data and absolutely fuck the environment by wasting absurd amounts of power, but they don’t try to take away your life savings
If you think this is a YouTube frontend, it’s not. It’s a different video streaming platform called Odysee (technically the platform is called LBRY, but Odysee is the main frontend for it)
I wish people on Odysee wouldn’t be so absolutely brain dead, it’s generally a pretty nice platform, but the comment section is always full of garbage
Elon is probably proud of it.
That does actually look interesting and might revolutionize parts of the Fediverse, ngl. Is it open-source?
Nowadays you need like 32 Gigabytes lol
