Also remember that propaganda technically doesn’t have to mean anything bad.

Though to be fair, the very concept of propaganda is still a questionable one.

460ppi low-res? You got some proper eagle eyes, dang

Edit: Just saw your other comment, didn’t know you could bump down the resolution on a Pixel 7. But scaling down to 1080 on a 1440 display won’t look as good as native 1080, I reckon

I mean… yes

I’ve been using it for almost two years now, and I like it a lot. (small disclaimer, I’m running it on a OnePlus 5T, which is one of their so-called golden devices that it runs best on)

It’s pretty much the next best thing after Graphene, if you don’t want to buy a Pixel.

The guy who maintains it does an excellent job of documenting issues, what works on what device, what the system itself can and can’t do, it’s very transparent.

He doesn’t overpromise either, and explicitely states that getting a Pixel with Graphene is the better option overall. Greatly appreciate the honesty.

I’ll use it for as long as he’ll support my device, and then we’ll see if I switch to Graphene.

One important thing though: While you can install microG, DivestOS doesn’t officially support it, and while most things work, some don’t. SafetyNet, for instance.

DivestOS absolutely slaps. Well, all things considered

Edit: It’s absolutely fantastic for what it is, and that is fact. Maintained by a single person, well documented, and doesn’t promise more than it can deliver.

I really need a pair of Unix socks, what am I even doing otherwise

Time travelling trans people are one of my favourite genres, gotta say

I can’t describe what it feels like to think about that. 20-year-old me would probably be confused. Not put off or anything, but just genuinely confused, because at that age I started putting in way more effort in my (manly) appearance.

It isn’t environmental good to change from a working phone to anything.

They keep saying that themselves, no one actually tries to sell you one if you have a phone already.

The most sustainable phone is the one you already have

I feel this one so hard…

Ah, who cares if it’s gay, come here and let’s have some fun, that’s all that matters

Any two things can produce a spark if you rub 'em together

uh

Actually yeah, why is interacting with new people so hard?

The funny part that comes after is that the human body is built for pure efficiency, and tries to offset burned calories by subconciously moving less throughout the rest of the day.

So in total, you won’t actually have burned an extra 776

Your cardiovascular health will improve, but it’s very easy to not lose weight when running is something that burns less Calories than many people think.

The main problem with us users is that we are god damn lazy. We want everything to be the most convenient it possibly can be.

Remember when Apple updated iOS to allow users to stop cross-app tracking, which severly upset the Zuck, that absolute manchild?

Turns out that if you actually inform people and give them a clear choice to make, the overwhelming majority of users do in fact not agree with being tracked, as an example.

One comment mentions possible incompability with article 22 of the GDPR, and I sure hope the EU will stand their ground on this.

I can only imagine noyb letting all hell break loose. We need more people like him, dissecting corporations legal bs to find every last little thing we can possibly hold against them.
