When I started my degoogle process some time back & researching options I literally laughed at loud at myself. Am I seriously going to hand over yet more money to the very beast I am trying to get away from? Talk about instant compromise of values

Years later, extremely proud of that decision. Just a non starter. Buying second hand also creates a market value for selling more google crap

    No OS comes close to Graphene in security. Second hand sales for Graphene are a drop in the bucket for Google. If Graphene went away and people stopped buying second hand Pixels for that purpose, it wouldn't even be a blip to them.

    You do you. I stand by my principals and don't feel the need to pretend I'm some sort of Jason Bourne.

    Weird how now that Google went quarterly with their older device updates... it's suddenly just not the big deal the GOS folks used as a hammer, with their ad nauseum attacks on other privacy projects. Back then I could smell their overhyped, overplayed security scare marketing tactics from a mile away. As it turns out, I was right.

    Not having any google crap in my household? Absoltely priceless
