Peter Thiel puts her in a sort of deity tier.

What exactly are the phone concerns tho?

i left their ecosystem about 3 years ago now.

• i replaced by macbook with a lenovo which came without any OS (no microsoft taint!).
• i replaced by iphone with a fairphone running e/OS/, it can do anything my pro max could except take equally good photos, for some that might be a dealbreaker but avoiding US stuff is more important for me. there is also jolla as an alternative, but it costs three times as much.
• i switched to pcloud (a swiss pay-once model) from icloud, it took a couple of hours to download 53.000 photos, since they limit it to 1000 at a time (maybe there was a better way to do it). it works so much better than icloud too.
• i switched to several mail providers that weren't quite what i needed until i found a local server provider, costs me $20 a year + $20 for a domain, with some 50gb of email storage. they have since increased their price but i'm locked in to this offering. if they ever force bump the price i'd try mailbox.org though.
• i tried to use cryptdrive for writing and documents but there is no native software and it's annoying to use on phone so i now basically do all my writing and notes in upnote. it's everything i need in terms of writing and sharing and uses a pay-once model. they also add all features i have personally ask for, so that's really cool.
• i had already used bitwarden for all passwords and proton authenticator so i don't need to move any of that shit over.

i haven't used any google products in like 10 years anyway (it's why i switched to apple in the first place. but i feel like now the open source or european alternatives have finally caught up with the standards i need).

I wouldn't bother with the mobile devices so much.

Google is deeply embedded in the zionist entity. It has multiple subdivisions located there, deep ties to their intelligence apparatus (and to the US intelligence apparatus) Jumping from paying apple $1000 for a phone to paying Google $1000 for a phone that you install another OS on doesn't really help IMO and is like jumping from a boiling pot into the deep fryer next to it.

Don't buy Mac computers, don't buy Apple accessories, don't buy in iTunes, and limit app store purchases where feasible. That and putting up some stickers/posters or making more people aware of this complicity to hit Apple even a little in the pocket will do more than switching phone ecosystems like that.

NAS + linux everything

best thing you can do is keep using whatever device you have right now until it dies

welcome to my world. lol

google's "dont be evil" motto suckered me in during the early 2000's and now i'm so quagmiresd in it that i can't find a single path for all of it.

atleast graphene for me will be slightly easier since i've mostly used android this entire time -- idk what iphone users will do.

I guess a second hand pixel with Graphene os maybe?

I assume you wouldn't have to worry much about it. Except for google shenanigans w.r.t. third party app stores.

Same. It is, what it is. You can’t fight in all wars. It is also okay to just be conscious and informed about it. No one wins if you try to fight everything and die because of exhaustion.

Motorola has a Graphene phone coming out soonTM. Else just buy a non-Google Android phone.

GrapheneOS on a secondhand pixel is the best choice, but that's not saying much tbh. The entire smartphone ecosystem is fucked.

That is a valid concern, especially since there is no viable options. I guess the best option would be to ditch the phone and wait for the Linux phone - but that isn't necessarily viable either, so compromises have to be made - for now.

used pixel and graphene

or Fairphone 6+ and e/os

No idea, I'm really hoping the co-op of Motorola and non-android ends up working on more than the intended hardware. They say they want it for flagship, but hopefully it ends up working on a number of cheaper Motorola phones or such

There isn’t really a correct answer, nor one that will “absolve you of sin”. Trying to maintain some kind of purity is as much a distraction from the root of the problem as self-recycling is in regards to global warming.

Having a tool you have confidence in us important. I’ve been slowly backing out of the Apple ecosystem since the last election, but being present, the sacrifice of time and place, at town meetings, party meetings, etc. is going to have a much greater impact on the world around you than trying to purchase salvation with phone.

Israelis infiltrate companies and then try to funnel investment of the company into Israel and hire more Israelis. It's the most blatant nepotism and corruption you'll ever see.

The official BDS list is very small and targeted and does not contain Apple (yet). BDS is meant as a starting point for the most important companies to boycott according to the BDS org. Boycotting beyond that is still effective.

only for the dirty brown people who don't know their place. :p

It's not the end of the world. Boycotting matters most and is easiest when you don't care much about a product brand. Which are most products for most people.

Better battery life and camera mostly.

If your battery is good and you're happy with your camera, there's no reason to upgrade any more often than like 6-7 years on flagships these days. Cheap phones will actually get outdated in that time.
