People online were making fun at my old PC still running an FX 8350. That one was released before all this. Who’s laughing now? I’m only partially kidding lol.

No thanks

Don’t use Calyx: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

Ask the GrapheneOS Discord/Matrix. They’ll tell you the exact same thing.

The fact is there’s no privacy without security and the Librem doesn’t have the latter.

The sensor is built into the display.

I won’t stop you from using the Librem but at the end of the day a false sense of security is more damaging than anything else. I can with 100% certainty assure you that even your average Samsung phone has better security than the Librem. A phone with absolute abbysmal and ancient hardware that Purism sells for 10-20 times the cost of an equivalently powerful Android phone from AliExpress. Heck, even the PinePhone (which also runs Linux) sells for like $200 and has better hardware. Purism is a scam company. I know you don’t want to hear this but it’s the truth.

You set up the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 8 like any other Android phone. Either during first setup or by going into your security settings.

I use the fingerprint sensor. Don’t get a Librem, it’s a scam and security on it is a disaster. Stick with GrapheneOS. Heck, stock is more secure than the Librem, believe it or not. I wouldn’t touch that thing with a 10ft pole.

As someone who uses both Android and iOS, I appreciate my Pixel 8 Pro running GrapheneOS (a custom version of Android) more and more.

GrapheneOS only works on Pixels. Also, you can’t install anything other than iOS on an iPhone.

Even Colin Powell at the UN speaking about Iraq’s WMDs was more convincing. Yawn.

Got other made up stories? Time and time again has shown that every single thing that comes out of the mouths of US and Israeli politicians is a lie unless proven otherwise.

“Terrorists” is the 21st century equivalent to “savages” to justify imperialism and genocide. US propagandists can stfu.

US Intelligence Propagandists

How’s the performance per watt?

Oh wait. Nevermind, Intel sucks anyway. If it’s not performance issues, it’s hardware exploits. Not to mention Intel’s support for genocide in Gaza.

Remember, the first casualty of war is the truth.

Israel is not a people. It’s a genocidal fascist neocolony. Palestine needs to be decolonized. I’m not advocating for the genocide of French people when I’m saying that Algeria needs to be free. The same applies to Palestine.

Aha and why does Israel deserve to exist exactly? I couldn’t care less if every single country in the world disappeared tomorrow. Again, rights are for people, not countries and if your statehood relies on genocide and ethnic cleansing, it needs to go. Call me sympathetic to Hamas talking points all you want. I certainly don’t support their ideology but at the end of the day, one person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter and armed struggle against an occupying force is legal under international law. Hamas isn’t even recognized as a terrorist organization by the UN. Hamas could be flowerpower hippies and they’d still be called “terrorists” by Israel and its allies. Really shows how meaningless that word has become.

Yeah either something else is involved here or Israel is indeed selling Pegasus to literally any government that requests it. Let’s not forget that NSO group is state funded so those deals clearly do have the approval from the Israeli government.

I’m willing to argue that “good guys” demanding backdoors are bad guys too.
