  • Your “ideally would want” pretty much locks you to a Pixel phone. The 7 has serious radio issues, the 8 works great (I had the 7 Pro now have the 8 Pro, no always on GrapheneOS) and don’t know about the 9, but other that all the AI bullshit they are pushing with it, I don’t really see that the specs justify those prices, specially since you’re looking at installing GrapheneOS on it.












  • That’s debatable. It will depend on how radical we each are willing to be about our privacy individually.

    For example, I have a friend that is sort of a privacy freak like me, however, he’s chosen to keep WhatsApp because some of the people in his life won’t use anything else.

    I, on the other hand, do not have a single mainstream app or social network. Those who never heeded my warning 8 years ago that I was killing it all, and if they wanted to talk with me it was either Signal or visit me, basically fell off of the world for me.

    Those I really care about have gone as far as moving to SimpleX with me. Most still use mainstream crap, but they chose to add SimpleX to their apps so that we can keep in contact regularly.

    What I’m saying is, your success at how much you keep from the paws of big tech and big brother (regardless of where you live) will be inversely proportional to your ability to give a fuck. The less fucks you give, the more ground you’ll cover.
