Answering recent tech related questions:
I got a random Pixel 6 (not Pro) from a guy for about $150 or so.
It works great with the latest GrapheneOS. Everything is perfect: the battery lasts a long time and the phone never gets hot. I have all the apps I need, including books (Librera), maps (OsmAnd), a translator (DeepL), dictionaries, internet, notes sync (Joplin), and work sync (CalDAV and Thunderbird). I’ve been very happy with it for many months already.
What’s interesting is that I ditched my brand-new iPhone 17 Pro to switch to this basic Pixel. That iPhone was honestly a junk product — full of bullshit. It was always hot, the battery lasted less than this old Pixel 6, and there were tons of glitches and software errors. On top of that, there’s the authoritarian surveillance and the fact that you have to pay for every little thing. Then they get you hooked on their cloud system, you lose control of your tools and your data, and you basically become dependent on their ecosystem.
You can never truly see what an iPhone is doing with your data under the hood. Big tech corporations are rarely friendly — they tend to act in their own interests, not yours.
Fuck Apple — I’m really happy that I completely switched to open source.
+ Linux, of course. Using it since 2007. Got a couple of random years with mac and win – it was pure shit junk, its made for people who dont understands computer systems and world well.
