Well, these posts by @[email protected] have officially convinced me to get the 6+ when my current phone dies!

If I can't buy it directly from you (I live in Canada) then I'll at least convince my partner to sneak out some budget money for a donation or two, as your work alone has made me believe that a Linux phone will be possible!

Keep up the great work! Every little bit helps reduce friction.

This article may be at least partially ai written - this paragraph under number 7 in particular is quite suspicious:

"For extra paranoia, some owners store their entire car in a Faraday garage or use signal-blocking paint—extreme, but effective."

Woah cool, this is the first time I've actually read about postmarketOS, other than seeing it mentioned occasionally, and it's pretty neat to see it coming along!

Is the conversation not happening right here and now? You have been given an offer to speak and it feels a bit like you are shutting it down yourself. It feels like you are concerned that it will not go over well.

I believe that trans people have a right to live and thrive, just as anyone does. To me the question feels like "should we let people with brown hair exist?" "All those brownies are trying to make us all have brown hair!"

Side load it? Don't you mean install it, the Play Store is not the only way to get apps

That was my first thought too, but some people are moving to more privacy focused phones like grapheneOS, and other ROMs, or even Linux phones.

Besides, reduction in the number of people tracking you is still a positive thing.

Send a stone tablet dude. Its the only way to get through to these guys.

Yeah, the first couple times I felt confused/surprised, but these bathrooms are so much better - the ones I've been in have had the most excellent stalls.

Nope, I'm afraid not, but I'm willing to bet we could try having a conversation here first.

I'd be curious to know why you believe the way you do, and yet are scared of downvotes / to get censored?

Using myself as an example, I was recently removed from leadership at an organization for standing up for the LGBTQ+ community as I believe that standing up for people in general is one of the best things we can do as humans.

Oh nice, I've got half a tube of shoe glue. $20 obo. No low offers, I know what I've got.

We must be pretty close on that by now, I can emulate a number of Switch 1 games surprisingly OK (not amazing, just OK) on my S21!

Looks good, I am always happy to see privacy options that are more granular than yes / no.

Ahh, yes of course, G-RICE-PE... I am sure there are people out there who know what those cursed letters mean, but it ain't me either.

That would legit get me to pay them or donate or something. Such a hilarious idea.

Good read, it gives a refreshing take on these options.

Ally here, can confirm, was sleeping in. I'm up in Canada though, so trying to make positive change up here.

I just found and set up Gameyfin (a play on Jellyfin). Still in the testing it out phase, but I love the idea of a collection of my friends and my DRM free games that we can all share with less reliance on big companies.

This is a hot take, and I don't know if I agree with all of it but... Am a dev, would rather be snowboarding.

Mmm yes, burnt rocks, with notes of peat moss, concrete dust, and ground stones.
