Using RCS is not worth dealing with a spyware phone in my estimation. And any conversations over SMS can be considered compromised by default. So I do not discuss sensitive or private information over SMS. This leaves one with a device that the Gestapo as of yet has not contrived a way to invade. The existence of any such device horrifies tyrants. They must see all and know all, and we are to trust in their benevolence to Keep Us Safe!™

I’ve used GOS daily for years. Your characterization of the OS as a “hobby” could not be further from the truth. After some basic initial configuration, it simply works like any other phone. My bank app works. Every app they told me would not work, works fine. Honestly, I’m beginning to wonder if all this FUD is a result of personal lack of willingness to do the research or something more nefarious like intentional misinformation.

AI spam; report, disregard, move on.

It’s the hottest site, all my friends are talking about icelist.is!

You mean icelist.is? It’s pretty easy to remember. It’s also pretty easy to just print it out on a ton of little business cards and just start leaving them in public places. Putting them in library books. On the tables in waiting rooms. In fact, I’ll bet it’s pretty easy to spray paint on just about any surface…

Fascist/authoritarian scum the world over are TERRIFIED of the concept of regular human beings having the ability to communicate with each other without being censored, coerced, and surveilled. This is a nightmare scenario for them: people speaking freely

Joke’s on them, mine can’t talk to a network.

It’ll be grocery stores and the DMV soon as well.

Those sanctimonious FUCKS can go take a long walk off a short pier. Justice will be aggrieved until they all hang publicly.

Yikes, just apple things I guess

Just give me a bezel, I want a machine not a fashion accessory.

Good Lord, they’re copying that hideous notch design from the macbooks.

Thanks to these visionary titans of industry we’ve now got 10+ years of used cars with HOT GARBAGE interfaces. Guess they learned their lesson eventually but the used market is screwed for a long time.

RIP to a real one. I have the whole series archived on my server, it is a historical treasure worth preserving.

Black levels and viewing angles would be my concern.

That looks great!

I’m in the same boat… Somewhere out there, there MUST be a high quality panel with good contrast, viewing angles, and motion, WITHOUT the spyware garbage in it.

Hi it’s me

Contribute to deflock.me. Step 1 to solving this problem is mapping them all out. Subsequent steps depend on a number of factors.

Yep you’re right, I’m a Nazi because I use a keyboard developed by a foundation funded by a guy who hosted someone for an interview who is a bad person with bad ideas.

Doesn’t matter who I vote for. Doesn’t matter what I advocate for. The work I do to organize in my community doesn’t matter. All of that is invalidated because of the keyboard I use. I’m a secret Nazi! And I’d have gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for that meddling Edible Funk.

You’re the hero we all need here on the Left.
