    Does anyone else think it is ironic to buy a phone from one of the most unprivate companies in order to have a private experience?

      As someone who bought Pixel specifically to install Graphene on it, I definitely found it super ironic.

      There’s a limited selection of phones available. Generally the ones with good specs and a good metal frame that is well supported and has readily available cases and accessories that can be bought from a local store come from only the unprivate companies.

    How the fuck is this related to programming? Feels more like anti corporate circle jerk material.

    I guess installing roms makes you an elite haxor these days?

      Tbh I don’t even look at the community it’s posted in, I just updoot. But yeah this is completely off topic from the community, nothing with this has to do with coding.

      Yeah man, it takes a whole three clicks on a webpage and a USB cable to install Graphene. That literally makes me Elliot Anderson.

      Obviously the ven diagram fits. Makes me fondly remember /r/reddit back in the day.

      Nothing has to be perfect. We sit at the precipice of a federated future. Let’s have some fun.

    Build quality wise i definitely prefer Samsung, but they gotta install OneShit, Knox and like a dozen different clones of GMS apps.
