  • I picked up a 2025 P14s Gen 6. Wanted Ethernet and the ability to easily swap both RAM sticks in the future. Apart from the soldered WiFi chip, this computer is by far one of the most modern and repairable ones I’ve seen. Perfectly runs Fedora KDE, too.

    T series are also fantastic, but at the time it wasn’t as repairable given one RAM stick was soldered and the other was replaceable. Also because of the form factor it didn’t have Ethernet.

    Can’t go wrong with a P series if your needs are similar to mine in a computer for long-term use.

    Edit: Forgot to add that while my P14s Gen 6 is great, the biggest complaint is the soldered USB C ports for power delivery. That's a huge point of failure. I mitigate the weak point by using a magnetic USB C cable. It's nice to see the the new T series has modular USB C / thunderbolt ports and remediates the weak point that was a common complaint for users.

  • That’s not a relevant comparison. You’re comparing war and human lives with social media platforms. I very much care about what happens in war. I don’t very much care when it comes to social media. I’ve opted out and moved onto the Fediverse, and deleted all my old social media accounts. Reddit users get burned over and over but still continue to use the platform.

  • It’s a fair point given the size of Lemmy World. But if it went poof, most of us (me included) would pick a new server - hopefully one of the more medium sized ones rather than the larger pillars. Beauty of decentralisation.

    Grass is much greener here on our new lawns compared to the old Reddit lawns, which switched to AstroTurf.

  • how do I make my new phone more private

    Jump

  • Shrekislove posted some good advice, so I’ll add something here for you to evaluate based on what you said above.

    “I hate Google so much… I’m just looking for my blindspots… Im not in tech”

    Years ago I went all in and too fast on privacy. I’d recommend some guard rails as getting privacy is a journey. First you need to define what “privacy” is for you. Privacy is a spectrum. Only you can determine it based on your needs and wants, and you can do that by figuring out your threat model.

    That old expression of tightening your grip and more things fall out applies here.

    Think about your security and privacy. Think about what you’re willing to give up, and think about your relationships with others that can be impacted.

    You can get recommendations and learn more about privacy by checking out privacyguides.org.

    As for me? I’m basically at the point where I’m fatigued with big tech - especially smartphones. I’m waiting to see when GrapheneOS will reveal what new OEM they are working with, to determine if I’ll get another smartphone when my current one is too old. Else, my plan is to upgrade to a truly dumb 5g phone with hotspot. Then I’ll carry my Linux laptop with me and use that when I need the internet.

    Best of luck! Don’t go too fast and evaluate everyone’s suggestions carefully. I don’t recommend just dropping the phone you got and going all in on buying a Pixel and installing GrapheneOS. That’s a drastic action to take suddenly since you’re still getting your feet wet on all this privacy stuff. You can improve privacy on your current phone, and then when you’re comfortable and if you decide you need the benefits of GrapheneOS, then look into upgrading in the future.
