Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Didn't Graphene specifically require a Google/Pixel phone versus Lineage etc which works on many various devices

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, as the pixel hardware is ironically secure.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I actually prefer Pixels from a hardware perspective and have had a few of them. Just seems like a weird choice for somebody specifically saying they're trying to get away from Google. Baby steps I guess :-)

I mean, for most people I'd wager that "degoogling" is mostly about stopping your data from flowing to them, not your money. And since just the hardware itself is (presumably) not spying on you, that's probably an okay tradeoff to make for many

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

In the video he said he already had a pixel so it was a natural step for him.

Makes sense to me, especially since I'm in the same boat. I'm looking at a Sailfish device to run in tandem while I consider what the best options are to move on

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Sailfish does have the prettiest ux and is very secure.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah. Got any suggestions about hardware? I'm thinking of a PinephonePro. It's not the beefiest or better hardware but should be enough to get a feel for things and tinker around

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

It’s hard to answer as I haven’t figured out which model is the best for Canada’s market as the Fairphone isn’t sold here.

Though I wouldn’t suggest the PinephonePro as the hardware is very slow.

Damn. I remember looking at the Jolla once and forgot about it. Hardware seems good but I do see reports of issues with the local providers (Canada) and unfortunately it doesn't look like they ship here either. Too bad as a Euro designed+built phone sounds great.
