A small inconvenience for the parasite but this is the equivalent of slapping an ice cream cone out of this dweebs hand and I’m here for it.

The more I think about it, guy should have just told customer service that one of his dozen kids got ahold of his credit card and to freeze any future orders lol. Lmao even.

Look at this fucking fed right here.

GrapheneOS user here. It seems to work right now.

Graphene also doesn’t really need Aurora, it’s fine.

Nobody’s saying that those other ones are terrible and they are better than stock Android for security and less tracking here. But it is the best one and does things that the other ones don’t.

You can use a fairphone with one of those and if you’re happy with it, it’s absolutely better than what most people do and if it works it works. But people really like GOS for a good reason. The cult comment can be applied to Linux users, so who gives a shit?

There is and there never will be a perfect solution and you shouldn’t let an imperfect solution stop you from using the best one of these just because buying a used pixel MIGHT urge somebody to buy another new one. You may not want to do that, but it is silly and way too idealistic and impractical to demand others not to switch to Graphene because of that.

Buying a used pixel to degoogle and make your phone more secure and less likely to spy on you more than balances out the potential for there being one more new pixel on the future. There will never be a perfect solution and this one is fine enough for most. You may disagree and that’s ok.

If this is the same person I think it is, I would take their comments with a huge pile of salt. Not saying they’re wrong, but…

A couple years ago this Linux-Is-Best dipshit somehow got onboarded as a mod of the /r/massachusetts subreddit, started banning a ton of users for pretty unreasonable reasons, brought a few other seemingly random moderators on board and almost nuked it out of existence by being an unhinged little weirdo. They claimed to have worked at Facebook/Meta and I forget which, but they were found out either to have made it up or they were just a bottom tier content moderation employee.

You can go find some posts about it, but this person’s not well at all even if you happen to agree with them. If this is the same person. They’re not trust worthy. Privacy’s important, big companies are creepy, do what you can to protect yourself and use linux if that’s what gets you there, but again I would take anything this dipshit says with a grain of salt.
