  • 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.







  • I don’t know, I think it’s a little shitty to call everyone using Amazon lazy morons when it’s often the only viable option for affordable things. Especially if you’re like a parent working at an Amazon warehouse and you have another job and you simply don’t have the time or energy to shop/drive around to get that one particular formula your kid doesn’t get sick off.

    Obviously there’s an argument to be made about an average American’s mindless consumption and addiction to convenience, but we don’t have to call people working paycheck to paycheck lazy morons. They’re not the problem here.
