This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
For god's sake can corporations and governments stop trying to ~~control and survey people~~ do the job of parents and society. If parents are not doing their job then you need better awareness and education not to take over.
Pretty sure everyone understand it's not about the age.
Time for more users to adopt GrapheneOS
GrapheneOS is great and all but I refuse to willingly give google a single dollar for their hardware.
When GrapheneOS can be installed on any device is when I’ll gladly make that switch, and hopefully one day Apple iPhones can run other operating systems.
Buy a used one then. Google won't see your money then.
Or wait a little longer. https://piunikaweb.com/2025/11/19/grapheneos-to-release-non-pixel-flagship-phone-in-q4-2026-or-in-2027/
In a revealing discussion with David Bombal, the GrapheneOS team confirmed they are actively working with a “top-tier Android OEM” to bring their hardened operating system to non-Google flagship devices.
Increasing the value of an used second hand market devices can empower other people to seek the Google Pixel devices as a decisive buy considering they keep their value for a longer time compared to other brands.
First time I'm hearing about a non google OEM made phone, that would be amazing!
If only you didn't have to give google money to be able to install it.
Buy used and unlocked. Just sold one at my work, was a pixel 8 pro for 300 USD.
Except that's not how that works - creating a healthy used resale market drives demand for the Pixel phones. I may not be giving them my money directly, but it's still of huge monetary benefit to Google if I purchase one of their phones used. I like grapheneOS, I really do, but it's inseparability from Google hardware is a serious problem.
No, it drives demand for used pixel phones. No one's buying new pixels to supply the used market. They don't interact in that way.
If you really want to make sure Google never benefits, buy one off Craigslist, put a case on it, and tell people its a Samsung galaxy with a custom home screen.
Guess that is an epic time for android phones. Sike! Unfortunately, majority will do ID verification.
Stay small. If you get too big, the government will start bossing you around.
Nah, I really think Android is becoming worse. In six months we won't be able to install unoficial apps. It won't be long until this happens too
Nah, US sheeple will still purchase iPhones, cos for them it is sth of a status symbol.
