I’ll give it another try then! Last attempt it wouldn’t open.

I still use a stock pixel for work related and daily usage, but the alternatives I’ve found between F-Droid and Aurora store I’ve never felt lacking.

Maybe I’ll finish the switch fully in the coming months.

I did a fair amount of research before the switch to find alternatives to Google services, some I’ve replaced, others I felt were too much of a hassle for my phone usage.

I’ve kept my original pixel stock, the hardest part about switching this one over was plugging it in and following the instructions.

I’m hoping to get rid of my stock OS pixel soon, it would appear my bank hasn’t blocked it’s app on Graphene, unlike Uber.

For the rest I’ll either buy a cheap af shitbox to use purely for banking and Uber (if it comes to that).

If you’ve any other questions I’m happy to help find then answers with you, feel free to DM me.

Thanks for bringing this up, first I’ve heard of it. Not present on my GrapheneOS pixel, present on stock.

I suppose I should encourage pixel owners to switch from stock to graphene, I know which decide I rather spend time using. GrapheneOS one of course.

I still can’t decide if it’s end-stage capitalism or beggining-stage cyberpunk, or both.

New gen, same issues. Glad I jumped to AMD this build. No Nvidia product has been worth the cost:performance ratio for me since GTX10 series.

A weapon against sanity, yes.

Probably how they’ll force upgrade down the track, upgrade or we brick your shit.

It’s the only ring I’ve seen in years I would actually wear.

Everyone keeps forgetting that we’re all just what monkeys evolved into…

I thought I was imagining this until I put a 1080p episode on one monitor and a 1080p YT vid on another. The difference was night and day.

Similar story here tbh.

I’m picturing in my mind, that they’ll add an overlay that takes up your whole screen on login after October '25 that’ll just say “Upgrade to Windows 11 now!” That you can’t close.

Lucky I already upgraded OS to not include any Micro$hit.

Wouldn’t be if they weren’t constantly trying to load hardware I own with unwanted ads, software and unnecessary shit nobody asked for.

Welcome to the good life, with the exception of VR and (rootkit) anticheat for multiplayer, it’s all smiles over here.

Hope Mint treats you as well as it’s treated me! (Even though most of my tinkering breaks stuff, reinstall incoming I suspect)

Yet another bullet dodged since my move to Linux, thank fuck. Fuck you cunts at Micro$hit.

I’m probably gonna do this for the third time when I next play HL: Alyx.

Built a new rig and decided to go back to it on max settings now that my rig could achieve it, worth the restart imo. And ill fucken do it again.

I wish I didn’t feel somewhat similar, yet here I am…
