      cool but like, that doesn’t answer the question. do you use a phone? If so, which one?

      wait are you my vanguard icefox? with the two little cats?

          aww I was hoping to see cats 😔

          for whatever it’s worth, you can regularly buy pixels at a loss around the holiday season. I’m not fond of buying google hardware but there’s something beautiful about having them sell to you at a loss without being able to recoup via ads / telemetry.

          and I feel as if there’s some credence to projects like graphene when law enforcement get frustrated about its security and associate pixels with drug dealers on sight (like in Barcelona). i’ll watch that talk though!

          that said, I’m also exploring true Linux phones that can be used with postmarketOS. not expecting miracles or anything.
