Yeah, my next phone will also be one that I can flash with Linux. Right now I have a Chinese spy Xiaomi.

How did you think of me right away, when I've hardly been online lately? :D Especially since I'm so unimportant. xD

Because of the pixels... I used to think about it, but I don't want Google hardware. I've also turned down iPhones that people wanted to gift me. I could have resold them, but nah.

You're faster than I am at editing xD

it's fine 😅

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.

Well, either way, the future looks pretty dystopia. We’re just at the beginning of total surveillance. I wouldn’t be surprised if GitHub, GitLab, and the like were targeted soon. Or if they took action against something like GrapheneOS, etc. I’m losing interest more and more because of all these plans...
