A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Wish it was degoogled. I’d love one, but… android 🤢 privacy hell
If you were to pick the most mature one, which would you choose?
Lineage is the oldest one (Divest and /e/ are forks of it). Calyx has a focus on security and privacy (comes with a free VPN with no signup requires). Currzntly Calyx is based on Android 13, even on the Fairphone 4 which doesn't have it supportes. I son't know enough about iodé to comment about it though.
Is that ad and tracker blocker just browser level or are there… ads in the OS?!
Oh I gotcha.
The Fairphone 2, 3/3+ and 4 can also run PostmarketOS (Linux) and Ubuntu touch IIRC
Edit: add Fp2 to list
The link complains about me not being in France haha. 404 when switching countries.
Pixel 6a you can find for 250-300 and flash graphene.
Well yes. But I want a NEW phone
Pixel 7a is like 500
You get a slightly newer chip. G2 vs G1. New new costs
It doesn't have a 3,5mm jack or a microsd slot
Good luck with that headphone jack on the Fairphone
oh don't worry, i ain't holding out hope
