I hope they can find ways to work together and communicate well.

Ah! I didn't know they didn't sell there, that changes things.

The pro versions will be much more expensive than the "a" models (like 9a, 8a, 7a, etc), if you can find an "a"-phone, it will be cheaper. I would get at least an 8a, since they have support until 2030 or something like that, the 7a has support until 2027. The 6a is the oldest one which still has support, but only for a year or so more iirc.

How much is a refurbished pixel 8a in your country?

I use both and I agree. I have a different mindset on mastodon, there I care more about who is saying something than what they say. I have a small group of people I care about. On lemmy/piefed I care about what someone says but not who they are. It's all about the topic.

Same, I migrated storage to nextcloud on hetzner, but I'll keep my protonmail and a cheaper proton subscription than I had before if possible, or else just the free tier. I'm just not sure their heart is in the right place. For example they have social media presence on basically all platforms including X, instagram, tiktok, linkedin, reddit, threads, facebook, whatsapp, etc, but they closed down their mastodon account because of lack of resources.

Would there be any benefit in running google play services in a private space, or does the sandboxing already provide that separation?

I got a pixel 9a for 370 euro in Sweden, which isn't too bad. You can get a good refurbished 7 for less and it will have support for years to come.

In my country everything is built around this 2FA app that requires Google Play Services. But a phone with GrapheneOS and sandboxed google play should be better in total than just running stock android I guess? I wish I didn't need google play services, but currently I do.

I have never felt comfortable dancing in public, and thought it was because I was shy or something. Then I realized that I just didn't like the music. Now I dance at home to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I probably look insane doing that, but it comes naturally and feels good.

Same. And people I talk to at work seem to also do this. Not just the politically interested, but regular people.

I like it because saving is writing. Like in ed(1) or vi(1).
