i was not advocating for this UP phone in any way and am sorry if it seemed that way. my next phone will indeed be running on GrapheneOS.

I was just trying to point out that using third party vpn infrastructure can make sense, even though i wouldn’t trust the vpn of UP in any way. trust is a difficult thing, but as of right now i’m liking mullvad.

tbf, i do have some trust in mullvad. and if i own the server, people might know its me because its my server. (as in, the only one using it and possibly some tethers to my name through accounts and payments)

yes, but

• installing it can be not so straightforward. this is a good resource for guidance/troubleshooting
• the free version is limited in the codecs it can process (licensing issues some say, but kdenlive can work with them, so…). you can look up the supported codecs rather easily, but being unable to use h264, h265, and aac can be a pain in the butt.

i absolutely love your proposal. petition to make this happen
