Veronica's videos feel thematically like the Technology Connections of the FOSS world.

I always watch, even if I already understand the topic.

Yay! PeerTube! YouTube has one of the biggest monopolies (in my opinion, and Facebook/WhatsApp is another contender), and it must be broken through.

...while financially rewarding the company most responsible for attacking your privacy in the first place, encouraging them, telling them "yes master, more of this shit, please!".

(Unless you buy your Pixel phone used. Odd, though, that Graphene ONLY supports Google Pixels though. Also, for those who consider this, the Pixel 10a is the same phone internally as the Pixel 9a, and the same price, $500, so maybe you can get a gently used Pixel 9a for a bit less. Worth noting, both are using the Tensor 4, Google's in-house chip, and the Tensor 5 used in the Pixel 10 is about as powerful as the SoC in an iPhone 11 (so, 6 years ago), but for GrapheneOS and some really basic stuff, especially if you aren't trying to game beyond retro emulation... it should be fine. Pixel 9 (and 10) comes with 128GB of storage, and 8GB of RAM. Solid mid-ranger.)

Meanwhile, us iPhone users who don't use anything from Google, Meta, X, TikTok, or Microsoft are just hoping to ride this out and that Apple doesn't sell us out, because iPhones don't do custom firmware.
