aww I was hoping to see cats 😔
for whatever it’s worth, you can regularly buy pixels at a loss around the holiday season. I’m not fond of buying google hardware but there’s something beautiful about having them sell to you at a loss without being able to recoup via ads / telemetry.
and I feel as if there’s some credence to projects like graphene when law enforcement get frustrated about its security and associate pixels with drug dealers on sight (like in Barcelona). i’ll watch that talk though!
that said, I’m also exploring true Linux phones that can be used with postmarketOS. not expecting miracles or anything.
Yeah, my next phone will also be one that I can flash with Linux. Right now I have a Chinese spy Xiaomi.
lil loaf and purrito 🥰
How did you think of me right away, when I’ve hardly been online lately? :D Especially since I’m so unimportant. xD
Because of the pixels… I used to think about it, but I don’t want Google hardware. I’ve also turned down iPhones that people wanted to gift me. I could have resold them, but nah.
your username is formatted in the exact same way! i always remember my vanguardians 🥰
You’re faster than I am at editing xD
it’s fine 😅
i can understand not wanting google hardware, particularly if SoC performance is important to you; the tensor series has always been underwhelming relative to its contemporaries. I think the Motorola partnership device will a Qualcomm SoC. hopefully this translates to having better perf and power efficiency, and it helps to have the backlog of knowledge from CAF / linaro.
to one of your earlier points, it would be nice if we had actual options from more trustworthy companies like NXP.
Well, either way, the future looks pretty dystopia. We’re just at the beginning of total surveillance. I wouldn’t be surprised if GitHub, GitLab, and the like were targeted soon. Or if they took action against something like GrapheneOS, etc. I’m losing interest more and more because of all these plans…
