@[email protected] I would say two percent are totally fine. But like you, I suspect that Google is the power drainer. To be honest, I’m not surprised. Please let me know about the results of your research. I am really tempted to get a Pixel and run Graphene on it. Knowing that everything works as expected would make the decision much easier.

@[email protected] @[email protected] The only thing Gemini lacks is bold and cursive fonts. At least it seems like this is not possible.

@thorstenzoeller @winterschon It is. 99% of the time Images and graphical elements are unnecessary. There are only few reasons for Images, like online shopping or booking your hotel for the next trips. These are things I wouldn’t like to do without having seen a photo. But most times photos are just there to be there, for no good reason.

@[email protected] Today’s browsers are monsters, designed to serve overloaded and bloated websites. Today’s websites and web-apps are designed to take everything just because it’s there. I miss the good old days of the internet, when it was mainly designed for sharing information in plain text format (that was the time even before annoying gifs showed up). But unfortunately these days will never come back.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Couldn’t agree more. That’s why my last phone was an iPhone, because they offer long term support, but I still have an eye on Graphene OS. Maybe the next phone…

@[email protected] Thanks for clarification! I appreciate that you are evaluating other platforms and OS‘s thoroughly.

@[email protected] Do you know how general security is compared to @[email protected] ?
I would like to see a Fairphone running a secure and degoogled OS, but as far as I know, they did intense testing and the result was that only Google Pixels met their requirements for a secure smartphone. Would be great if this would change some day, as I like the repairability of Fairphones as well as I like the approach of fairly produced devices.
