Does anyone else think it is ironic to buy a phone from one of the most unprivate companies in order to have a private experience?

As someone who bought Pixel specifically to install Graphene on it, I definitely found it super ironic.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

do you need a pixel for graphene or can it be installed on any phone?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

Pixel is sadly the only phone having the security architecture used in graphene

This makes the irony so much more irony-y

[-] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago

There's a limited selection of phones available. Generally the ones with good specs and a good metal frame that is well supported and has readily available cases and accessories that can be bought from a local store come from only the unprivate companies.

Cries with his Nokia for which no replacement case is available after 4 years...

Yes, that's the joke

How the fuck is this related to programming? Feels more like anti corporate circle jerk material.

I guess installing roms makes you an elite haxor these days?

Tbh I don't even look at the community it's posted in, I just updoot. But yeah this is completely off topic from the community, nothing with this has to do with coding.

Yeah man, it takes a whole three clicks on a webpage and a USB cable to install Graphene. That literally makes me Elliot Anderson.

Obviously the ven diagram fits. Makes me fondly remember /r/reddit back in the day.

Nothing has to be perfect. We sit at the precipice of a federated future. Let's have some fun.

Build quality wise i definitely prefer Samsung, but they gotta install OneShit, Knox and like a dozen different clones of GMS apps.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I wish I could put Graphene on the S23

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Plus if Samsung uses a snapdragon chip it's impossible to install anything but Android because you can't unlock the boot loader.

All the bloatware has kept me away from them for years.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

Or buy a Motorola and you get a non bloatware free android with handy easy flashlight and camera

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Are Motorola phones decent and which are on Verizon? I'm OG data plan still.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I love them, that's all I've had for the past like 8 years. You can get good deals on refurbished ones, I just bought a 2022 moto edge for $170 on Amazon. Just make sure if you get one you get the Verizon version, they usually say in the title listing which carrier they are for.
