Ugh. I would love to stop using it but I need it for school. My college regularly posts information on Facebook groups instead of its own websites and I need Messenger for communication/group work in college.

Mullvad and Brave on desktop. Vanadium and Cromite/Brave on Android.

I started caring about privacy at the tail end of high school. I started running LineageOS with microG then. Now that I'm in college, I've quit most mainstream social media, and I run GrapheneOS.

Nice, I got a renewed one from Amazon this year for $330. It was as good as new, no scratches whatsoever, battery health was at 99% and still had 3 months of warranty left.

It's too expensive for me. Not worth it when a used Pixel is way cheaper, has way better hardware and has support for GrapheneOS.

I have "the choice". It is one cute choice.

I live in a country in that South China Sea region and I hope mainland China magically disappears or something.

  • If you're going custom ROMs, always go with an official custom ROM. Go with a well - trusted one that is consistent with updates, not an official ROM that may be dropped at a moment's notice.
  • Always choose devices that have long - term support and are consistent with security patches like the Google Pixels (5 years). Do not choose brands like Xiaomi as their lackluster updates mean that you will receive late security updates, and proprietary drivers for the components in your device will go out of date in 2 years. Your phone will be insecure and cannot be made secure when those 2 years end.

Boy English is pretty tame. My native language has gendered pronouns for what feels like every type of relative you can have. I don't see my extended family very often so truthfully I don't even know half of those pronouns. Sometimes a relative pops up out of nowhere and I get all confused about pronouns again. Seriously, like last year at a family gathering my aunt (maybe? idk, she's my grandmother's niece) brought someone and was like "heyyyy yall are related come say hiii" and she was like brand new information to everyone there lol.

Too expensive for me. I understand why, like the whole being "fair" thing and all but those specs are not good enough for 700€.
