Do you have any alternatives that are better?

[–] outandinburger@ttrpg.network 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

No, the options are crap is what I’m saying. I really want Motorola to hurry up with that GrapheneOS phone.

[–] Tehdastehdas@piefed.social 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

How is Chinese-American Motorola hardware better than American Google hardware for running GrapheneOS? Seems like it could have double backdoors.

[–] outandinburger@ttrpg.network 1 points 17 hours ago

Everything is gonna have back doors. Besides, the phones are all manufactured in China, what’s stopping them from altering production or creating clones with back doors? Heck, an iPhone sold in China probably gives the CCP access to the front door, so to speak.

You do realise that GrapheneOS is based on AOSP which is still mostly under control of Google?

one of the biggest problems is the gatekeeping role that Google plays with AOSP. No patches that the company dislikes get into AOSP, regardless of what a wider community might think of them.

I’ve given up Android some years ago. Had a brief time with a BlackBerry and am now enjoying the comforts of the Apple ecosystem. But I’m contemplating going the dumb phone + Palm Pilot (or Psion) route. That being said, that FLX1s seems very interesting…

I’m holding out for a rotary phone comeback.

[–] Deftworks@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Look no further my friend because the team @Deftworks is developing a Rotary Mobile™ as we speak. Feature rich all inclusive lightweight mobile products.

The future is now!!!

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You say no and then mention you’re waiting for an alternative that’s coming so yes then?

[–] outandinburger@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No, because it hasn’t been released.

You okay? You need a hug? Some dopamine? Maybe a pancake? You’ll be okay bud.

Listen. I know you're talking to me here, but I could use those things...

[–] outandinburger@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 day ago

It’s my wishlist too, babe. 💋

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, those are crap options. But thanks lol

[–] outandinburger@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 day ago
