      mandatory age verifications on the OS isn’t a viable economic decision either, but that’s not stopping Media Matters and Meta from forcing their shitty anti-privacy policies on citizens.

      If you can’t open chrome on a pc, connect an android phone to it, and use a simple web tool you’re probably not capable of any actual level of digital privacy.

      This isn’t me being elitist its just the fact that the resources needed to make this shit viable and easy are being tied up to corporations in order to make more easy-to-use corporate spyware.

      Privacy under fascism takes time, effort, and education. Stop fucking expecting it to be OOTB. Society is literally engineered against that. Its not a reasonable ask of open source devs making privacy tools.

        What else can those those value privacy and have computer skills do but try to be a good example and offer to help to those around them without the know-how?

      That’s probably not a viable economic decision though

      Should still be a good deal for Motorola. There’s a bunch of folks now who buy whatever phone runs GrapheneOS best. Whichever company courts us gets our business.

      I’m sure we’re not a landslide, but sometimes niche communities can still make a huge difference for a company.
