Nerd with an interest in computers, cybersecurity, privacy, AI, HRI, open-source, videogames, and collecting music. Also like dogs and horses. All in no particular order.
I advocate for privacy and against Big Tech. Sometimes I speak or write blogs.
I have many opinions. Often with more nuance than fits a Mastodon post.

@paniash @GrapheneOS Yeah it's by far my favorite phone hardware brand. Only switched away because of GOS
Trying to come up with useful features instead of just following whatever trend was now, including but far from limited to the 21:9 screen and keeping with 3.5mm for quite some time. They where very durable too, never had another brand survive so much drops and beatings
But well, privacy wins so that was goodbye Sony. Maybe one day we meet again, with a privacy respecting OS. One can dream
@GrapheneOS Exciting! Must admit I had hoped the secret possible partner was Sony, but I kinda feel like that was just wishful thinking from the start. Sony doesn't seem like a company who would

@a53bdb @GrapheneOS Yeah agree. Sadly I've already seen the first bunch of people complaining about this without it being a joke 🥲.
@a53bdb @GrapheneOS To be fair, all phones are made there so that risk always exists anyway.
As long as GrapheneOS doesn't slack on their requirements including (but not limited to) being able to access low level stuff it shouldn't be much worse if you flash the phone yourself. And those kind of requirements are why Pixels where the only ones supported to begin with...
