These phone pouches confuse me. They open with a simple magnet. Do they think kids don’t have access to magnets?

Your comment is like the embodiment of one of those “Kids don’t know how to swipe a book like an iPad” boomerslop comics

Unfortunately a Fairphone is not a secure device.

Child slaves labored to make raw materials for the device you’re holding. Your purchase kept the market rate for raw materials high, encouraging the continued use of slave labor. Don’t you feel bad?

We do the best we can with the decisions we have available to us.

Easy. Refurbed phone. Google didn’t get a penny.

GrapheneOS is one of the last bastions of freedom remaining. I don’t know what we’ll do if that happens.

What Pixel?

Disregard my comment. I was being an ass. They’re doing a fun and silly thing and I don’t need to hate on it.

Those are pretty system-level functions, you’re going to have a difficult time finding an app that can override them.

I’ve got the top end latest Pixel model and it did not cost me 4 digits. Bought one used, so Google never got my money. Immediately put grapheneOS on it, this phone in its pre-gOS spyware form never had access to my actual data in the first place. Or even a real network.

Every self sufficient decision is a win. Way to go! Looks tasty.

I didn’t even consider compatibility with a medical device. Good point.

I quite honestly have only found one app that doesn’t work: eBay. Even my banking app works. I’ve had zero issues, I’d even venture to say a better overall experience than stock android has ever been. There is such a granular level of control. I love it.

And then they want a 10% tip for taking a half hour to pull 20 products out of a bin and ring them up.

This isn’t a backdoor, the bureau says.

“It isn’t a backdoor because we aren’t calling it one. We named the backdoor Lawful Access, so it’s that, not a backdoor.”

Imagine thinking an ad post will be successful on possibly the most anti-advertisement community on the internet.

Well that was a crazy read. Never seen a company act this way before. Sounds like a very small operation. Unfortunately their products don’t appeal to me at all, I’d much rather buy a Framework.

These power hungry tyrants just can’t STAND the idea of normal humans being able to communicate without their prying eyes spying on us. They claim this is for the purpose of protecting the public. This is plainly not true, as crime will occur regardless. They cannot eliminate crime, despite their outrageous claims, nor do they actually want to. E2EE comms will be used to plan crime sometimes. Sorry, not sorry. Privacy is worth that cost. I’ll die on that hill.

Hence, if the data is not on someone else’s computer in the first place, it is not a matter of time.
