@arstechnica - the Pixel line's most appealing feature is certainly not surveillance tech like Gemini, but rather that you can flash a variety of privacy respecting Android ROMs over what Google ships.

I'm glad that I have a Google Pixel 8a and not a older model. There have been many reports of Google Pixels exploding! It's horrendous. I would strongly recommend against buying anything older than the Pixel 8 series.
Disclaimer: I'm not a expert and haven't deeply researched this topic, but I considered it important enough to give everyone a warning.
I know better than to doom scroll on #Mastodon.
I'll disable the app on my #GrapheneOS phone and see how long I can go without using it. Sure, I could still doom scroll on my #Laptop or #Desktop running #Debian, but that's not the point.
Instead, I'm challenging myself to redirect my energy towards reading about Debian, Anarcho-syndicalism, and things that interest me.
Today was enough, and I'm taking control.
Let's see how this experiment goes.
Where should I look for an old Pixel to put grapheneOS on?
Yup, I'm in love with Debian, GrapheneOS, LGBTQIA+ rights, and Anarcho-syndicalism, and I frequently post about these topics.
Happy #Saturday everyone!
I really like the backup function in #GrapheneOS based on #Seedvault. I know it doesn't work 100%, some apps don't support it etc. But in my case >90% of apps get backed up and restored.
This is what all Androids should have. I understand #Google doesn't want to do it because for them #Android is just a gateway to their services and when you have all your data in their cloud, you don't need such backups. But other Android vendors should have it.

My life with two phones was short-lived. It was not practical. I decided to go all in with #GrapheneOS and #Pixel 6a. I'll be giving the Samsung Galaxy S22 to someone else in the family and using the Pixel 6a for the next half of the year. If it's okay, I'll get a Pixel 10 and install GrapheneOS on it. If not, I'll humbly go back to Samsung and get the S25.
BTW it is interesting to find that I can live with a used phone for €120.
@nixCraft If an app needs Google and corporate surveillance data brokers breathing down your neck, is it really essential? #GrapheneOS #FDroid #NoGApps FTW
@markuswet@federation.networkInstalling FOSS apps on your phone sometimes certainly feels like an eternal XKCD 927 purgatory.
- Apps by GrapheneOS for some GrapheneOS apps (and assorted 
- Obtainium for installing apps directly from source/repos.
- Neo Store for installing apps who cannot be arsed to have .apk files in their repos (#AntennaPod), yet without dealing with the typical F-Droid shenanigans.
- Accrescent, because hell, why not! The more, the merrier!
- And, of course, Google Play Store for the corporate goblins.

just updated #GrapheneOS today and it straight up disabled my phone's fingerprint sensor
I would love to see #SailfishOS as an alternative to Android and iOS.
Its entry threshold is higher than the ones of Android-based offers like #GrapheneOS or #LineageOS but on the plus side it's as Google-free as it gets because it's not based on Google's Android and can run Android apps nevertheless.
@holgintheair @Spikyyn @threemaapp @Some_Emo_Chick yes, indeed, #Signal and #Threema are missing.
And the other Android alternatives should be added. #grapheneos #eos #Iodeos
Otherwise it's a good graphic that deserves sharing! #unplugTrump
@Andi_Berlin
Kurze Recherche ergab: ASHA ist ab Android 10 vorhanden, ABER der Hersteller des Phones entscheidet, ob das Profil freigeschaltet wird oder nicht.
Demnach ist es wahrscheinlich, das jedes auf Android 10 basierende Custom ROM das Profil unterstützt.
Für #GrapheneOS gab es hier ja bereits eine Bestätigung.
ich hab keine Ahnung, aber hier läuft #grapheneos auf einem Pixel 7a und dies ist ein Screenshot aus meinen Einstellungen.
Hier scheint die Unterstützung vorhanden zu sein.
Ich hoffe, Du kannst damit etwas anfangen...
GrapheneOS: Android pro lehce paranoidní uživatele
Pokud chcete mobilní telefon, který je bezpečný, opravdu respektuje vaše soukromí, zároveň nechcete přijít o populární aplikace, bez kterých už se dnes těžko obejdete, může vám současný trh přijít jako výběr mezi kompromisy. Podíval jsem se tedy na systém, který o sobě tvrdí, že jimi netrpí.
