I want GrapheneOS more than repairability, personally. I hope the Fairphone + GrapheneOS combination is possible some day...
The Graphene devs explicitly only support Pixels. Sticking with Graphene means continuing to give Google the profits from your hardware.
/e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.
I just bought a refurbished (as new) Pixel 9 to use Grapheneos.
Saved ~50% and didn't pay Google.
Genius! That is exactly how I buy my slaves
Agree, buying a used pixel made by slave labor wage is still morally grey. And buying them used increases their market value, therefore people can find buying a new pixel easier as they can sell it for more later.
I’m sorry, your what??? 😳
What the fuck dude
That wasn't as funny as you thought it would be.
Phrasing?
