  • Fair enough. Like I said, I got mine, and I am a fan. At the end of the day though, so long as it’s hardened and runs Foss apps then it’s good by me. I couldn’t see being pro-privacy enough to take the plunge on a hardened phone AND being consumerist enough to the point of brand loyalty, lol



  • Unironically. What sucks is how exclusionary it is to people without google, too. Like Microsoft is bad, but google uses literally every product to pull you into their ecosystem. If I want to access a google doc, I have to use a google email address. To use the email, it eventually forces a phone number, then begins putting up more and more strict validation prompts while advertising google authenticator. Meanwhile, you now can access files in a half-assed browser. But what do you know, google drive has a desktop application that is a lot more responsive. So just off of one doc share that could have been emailed, now google has incentivized you to give them access to your email, phone, passwords, and pc, all through sheer enshitification.
