cyranoApple is once again advertising on X after more than a year
EngywookI guess a lot of good people will ditch Apple now, right? RIGHT?
CypherI did only a quick search really but couldn’t find if any major android phone manufacturers had stopped advertising on there?
The best option is GrapheneOS on Pixel devices.
If you buy a Pixel, you’re supporting Google which is probably worse.
Maybe a Nothing Phone or a OnePlus?
GrapheneOS seems to only run on pixels
PinePhone any good? Sounds like it’s still a bit of a hobbyist device but if it can do the basics of texting and calling that’s all I need.
Buy a used one then. GrapheneOS is by far the best mobile operating system. I have used Calyx and have a Lineage tablet. Neither of them compare to how well GrapheneOS works in and of itself as well as with sandboxed Play services
katWorth it for the awesome work GrapheneOS devs have done. Heck, buy used.
Pixel is just one of the safest android phones in terms of hardware security.
You pay them a one time fee. The data you share with them is what makes google money. So from that perspective it’s like direct buy over a loan. They can’t leech you dry when you are not on loans.
