    I think it’s ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.

        Used phones: exist

        Users who constantly repost this same comment: “doesn’t look like anything to me.”

          Used pixel actually limit a lot the choice. I’ve not dived into de-googled phone yet but from what I understood postmarketOS seems like the used/old phone OS

            Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This thing is close to perfect, new phones are scam.

      Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.

      As bad as Google is, they’re lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.
