    Whelp, I guess I now own my last Samsung phone. It was a good run. I’ve been considering going pixel for a while so I can put graphineOS on it. This just helps me make that decision.

      Running GrapheneOS on a Pixel is incredibly easy. You don’t need to be technical at all to get it set up. The instructions and the process are simple. Get on it!

        Thanks for your comment, because I really want to get pixel and custom ROM with GOS, but I am soooo scared to ruin something. Never done anything like that… I was even looking for IT specialist who could do that,but no phone service stores does it. I have read manuals how to do it, but still self-esteem is missing as I have know knowledge about it…

        That’s technically true but the default experience would be a challenge for most noobs. It takes a bit of work to get apps for typical stuff, have to go get Fdroid and allow install from other sources etc

          On my Samsung I don’t have G account. I use only apps from Fdroid or if I really really need anything from Gplay, I get it from Aurora… and I am blond, just learned about open source and installed Ubuntu on PC. Not me of course, IT technician 😅

        I’m thick as mince and am running GrapheneOS, AND I came from 16 years of iPhones.

        If I can do it, anyone can.

    Buddy had the nightmarish idea a while back with all the new generative ai stuff for video chat services injecting ads using the faces/voices of the participants in lieu of payment. Just, regularly-schedule ad breaks in your call where “your friend” suddenly starts talking about how excited they are about Raid: Shadow Legends
