Basically I would prefer not to buy a pixel, but if graphene is that much better than the other OS’s I would consider it

Approaching the point where I need a new phone. Curious what would be better. A fairphone 6 with calyx or /e/ os. Or a new pixel with graphene. I’ve heard graphene is the best but the fairphone is very tempting

It means a lot to hear that :) I love this little community and I’m happy to share it with all you wonderful people ❤️

Happy birthday friend! Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling shitty, but enjoy this day however you best see fit. It’s your day after all :)

Always enjoy seeing you around the community and I ofc thank you for the contributions you make, especially the discussion threads <3

Also we are very close birthday wise! Mine was just a few days ago

I use this and love it

This is one of the most insane things I’ve ever read

Bluesky ain’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination… But I’m happy there are more alternatives. Despite some weirdness with moderation I have enjoyed my time in Bluesky so far. And the fact that more apps can be made on the AT protocol definitely makes it seem more legitimate in my eyes. Cool project imo

They do have an app but it’s only good for loading it. Their only currently supported way of a having a digital card is Google wallet (oddly not even apple wallet is supported yet)

Perhaps that’ll change someday

Unfortunately my transit system’s digital pass is not a pkpass afaik. It only works on Google wallet :/

If I can ever get a wallet app that I can put my transit card onto I’ll switch to graphene

I don’t think blueskys that bad. At least not yet. I’d prefer a fully featured federated thing but the fact is mastodon just doesn’t appeal to most people.

Blueskys moderation capabilities at least are quite nice atm

Disagree. Caitlyn Jenner fucking sucks but we don’t have to invalidate her perfectly legitimate, valid, and real gender identity to express disdain for her

Yeah I’m realizing I didn’t word that super well. Yes sync is a thing and they know that, but they don’t want to have to use Firefox on mobile because they think it’s slow

Yes that would actually be very helpful! I’ve had trouble doing that on the android version, and I have heard that can help show what exactly is causing the issue. I have heard some settings on ublock can cause this (which I have tried tinkering with)

I think they know about the cross device syncing but yeah think it’s too slow. Idk how long it’s been since they used it.

There is an issue I’ve had with Firefox on Android that I’ve tried to fix but haven’t been able to, where the first time I load a website in like… An hour or 2, it takes a long time to load. After that everything is pretty quick but the first load after the app has been suspended (is my guess) is slow

The problem is they apparently really value having cross device syncing between desktop and phone, and dislike Firefox on mobile a bit due to speed. Idk I mean yeah I think chromium browsers on android are technically faster (seems to me at least) but with no ads it’s way better

Hoping this could maybe help convince my friends who are just looking for a chromium alternative and won’t even consider firefox

Yeah tbh I wasn’t expecting to find it fast but thought I’d give it a shot 😅

This it?
