People online were making fun at my old PC still running an FX 8350. That one was released before all this. Who’s laughing now? I’m only partially kidding lol.

No thanks

Don’t use Calyx: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

Ask the GrapheneOS Discord/Matrix. They’ll tell you the exact same thing.

The fact is there’s no privacy without security and the Librem doesn’t have the latter.

The sensor is built into the display.

I won’t stop you from using the Librem but at the end of the day a false sense of security is more damaging than anything else. I can with 100% certainty assure you that even your average Samsung phone has better security than the Librem. A phone with absolute abbysmal and ancient hardware that Purism sells for 10-20 times the cost of an equivalently powerful Android phone from AliExpress. Heck, even the PinePhone (which also runs Linux) sells for like $200 and has better hardware. Purism is a scam company. I know you don’t want to hear this but it’s the truth.

You set up the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 8 like any other Android phone. Either during first setup or by going into your security settings.

I use the fingerprint sensor. Don’t get a Librem, it’s a scam and security on it is a disaster. Stick with GrapheneOS. Heck, stock is more secure than the Librem, believe it or not. I wouldn’t touch that thing with a 10ft pole.

As someone who uses both Android and iOS, I appreciate my Pixel 8 Pro running GrapheneOS (a custom version of Android) more and more.

Fedora’s my favorite. It’s also the most secure without going straight to QubesOS, which is not beginner friendly.

Are they also banning the Viet Cong flag? Cause that’s basically what Hamas and Hezbollah are for their respective countries. Also, equating resistance movements with the Nazis is utterly disgusting.

GrapheneOS only works on Pixels. Also, you can’t install anything other than iOS on an iPhone.

US propagandists disgust me. Guess what the US regime would have said during the native American genocide if asking about it.

Somaliland is a country completely separate from Somalia. It’s just not internationally recognized. Somalia still claims it but that’s just a formality.

Of course they can. Somalia literally has no authority there.

How’s the performance per watt?

Oh wait. Nevermind, Intel sucks anyway. If it’s not performance issues, it’s hardware exploits. Not to mention Intel’s support for genocide in Gaza.

Gamers Nexus just released a review of Intel’s brand new 14th gen CPUs. You might wanna check that out Greg before loosing an entire paycheck on a bad bet. (That’s a reference to the video)

Even if Intel wasn’t morally bankrupt, I still wouldn’t buy them cause their CPUs have terrible performance/price, terrible performance/watt and are plagued with tons of security issues. The only reason Intel is still able to sell them is because they bribe manufacturers to exclusively use Intel and because the average person doesn’t know any better.

Intel being plagued with massive hardware exploits? Check.

Intel having terrible performance per watt? Check.

Intel bribing manufacturers to exclusively use Intel? Check.

Intel cooperating with a genocidal fascist regime? Check.

Yeah, I don’t recommend AMD and Apple Silicon because I’m an AMD or Apple fan but because Intel is the most god awful option available.

The 4a is end of life and shouldn’t be used anymore.

Sure, the Nothing phone is a decent phone but it doesn’t really have anything to offer as far as privacy and security are concerned. On the contrary, I wouldn’t trust Nothing since their iMessage fiasco.
