  • I’m on a pixel 8 with 256 similar to your other reply. Graphene is supporting back to early pixels and has weekly updates so I don’t think phone age makes a support difference, I just went with the newest reconditioned one I could afford.

    I use signal, Lemmy (Thunder), NewPipe (for YouTube), Aegis auth, banking apps (but check forums on specific banks).

    Losing Google Pay made me feel like a peasant for a while, I now have a case that carries cards and feel fine.

    I switched from Vanadium to Iron Fox because I like the extensions, uBlock and Consent-O-Matic.

    I’m in a really odd position, in that I’ve always been a futurist and massive tech fan. I thought that I would be signing up for any AI tooling as soon as it appeared, chip in my head, bionic eye, the whole nine singularity yards.

    What I’ve found instead is a disgust with the concept, the way it’s been implemented, the big tech arseholes at the top of the money grabbing companies that have driven it all to it’s current omnipresent position.

    I want my AI, under my control and with my best interests at heart doing helpful things for me at my behest and control. It’s what I was promised in all those sci fi books, not this commercial pap.
