Cool…

This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.

Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.

    Do you have a recommendation for a good cheap android phone (didn’t worry, I’ll run a rom) that one could get to have a “clean” phone?

    I’ve been thinking about getting a phone that has none of my socials on it for when I go to Canada to get vaccines

      A pixel 6a is a good idea as the other commenter said but depending on what you’re after you could get a fairly cheap second hand Samsung for about the same price.

      That has the advantage of legitimately looking like it might actually be your phone that you’ve had for some time. In the same manner you could also get an old iPhone. It’ll have a cracked screen because every iPhone older than 6 months has a cracked screen but the whole point is to be an unattractive decoy, you want the most average boring looking phone possible so there’s nothing for them to be suspicious about.

      Pixel 6 is the minimum that can load up GrapheneOS. Those are like $130 on eBay.

      Pixel 8/9 does have some CPU features that help separate memory, which can be useful for keeping apps from creeping on memory they shouldn’t.
