Yeah, I’m not buying any more Pixels. I got the Fairphone 6! It’s good! I’m in the US, so I got it from Clove. Works fine on T-Mobile.

Although, I’m currently running Android… Probably have to install e/OS or something.

I hope Fairphone can continue to grow to eventually meet Graphene’s hardware requirements.

You’ve got Framework laptops, who make repairable modular laptops. Seems great in theory but i haven’t got one to test.

Anyways there are very few companies now who actually respect right to privacy, repair, etc. Treat their employees like humans and don’t shit on environment.

Pixels are the best phones to buy since you can install GrapheneOS…

Yeah… But Google and US Big Tech have too much power and are making the world shitty for everyone. I’d like to help spread that power.

What about after the lockdown?

Only effects devices running official android not grapheneos. The graphene devs have been very open about it.
