Get an unlocked Google Pixel A series.

Google has been very good about making their pixels repairable and open to tinker with while also not sucking like a dedicated libre phone would be like a Pine phone.

Unfortunately it does come stock with AI bullshit, but that’s going to be a problem anyways unless you buy a phone not getting security updates.

However, Google made these things so open you can flash a new OS on it that does respect privacy like GrapheneOS of Calyxos if you’re willing. I highly recommend looking up some video tutorials on it to see if you’re able to do that or willing to try.

In my opinion that’s the best way to get a modern “premium” phone feel and also not have all your shit is data mined all the time.

Worst case it’s pretty easy to not use AI stuff on a Pixel. I have avoided it on my work phone for a while. It’s not annoying about it. Well, it might be, but it’s sending the annoying stuff to a Gmail I don’t use.

I mean, it’s true. It’s actually only came up when I tried playing Oblivion Remastered on my 6600 XT.

Also the min specs on that game are a lie

I’m working on getting off mine. The P365 XL just fit so good in my hand and my budget :(

Shame they’re scummy even by war profiter standards.

I touched fentanyl once without having an instantaneous, violent seizure about it or being tempted to OD in the bathroom on it.

But that’s because I’m not a cop and therefore better than them.

It just doesn’t feel possible to make any consumer safety regulation for guns that wouldn’t ultimately “infringe” as it were.

At the end of the day it was always designed to cause massive bodily harm at a distance. Hell, Sig could just remarket the 320 as a competition pistol for like the consumer accuracy division or whatever because of the “competition read light trigger pull” and then it’s a compelling sell.

Remember the little brother controller?

This is him now!
