I think they make their hardware choices pretty well known. The documentation on the site is pretty thorough. They're also very gradually broadening up to more vendors.
for whatever it's worth, you can regularly buy pixels at a loss around the holiday season. I'm not fond of buying google hardware but there's something beautiful about having them sell to you at a loss without being able to recoup via ads / telemetry.
and I feel as if there's some credence to projects like graphene when law enforcement get frustrated about its security and associate pixels with drug dealers on sight (like in Barcelona). i'll watch that talk though!
that said, I'm also exploring true Linux phones that can be used with postmarketOS. not expecting miracles or anything.
i can understand not wanting google hardware, particularly if SoC performance is important to you; the tensor series has always been underwhelming relative to its contemporaries. I think the Motorola partnership device will a Qualcomm SoC. hopefully this translates to having better perf and power efficiency, and it helps to have the backlog of knowledge from CAF / linaro.
to one of your earlier points, it would be nice if we had actual options from more trustworthy companies like NXP.

I'm not sure what you mean by the honeypot thing
cool but like, that doesn't answer the question. do you use a phone? If so, which one?
wait are you my vanguard icefox? with the two little cats?
aww I was hoping to see cats ๐

Proof or else its just blabla bla
Ty, for info
I never have 100% confidence in telephony or technology. Have just started with meshcore, reticulum also looks interesting.
