    The downfall of Android (and the Pixels) is not entirely unexpected, but now progresses shockingly fast.
    Damn, we need alternatives…

      Google is becoming increasingly hostile to projects like GrapheneOS. I hope their deal with the new OEM they’re working with succeeds and provides them some shelter. People buy Pixel phones specifically to install GrapheneOS, so it must help Pixel sales, but of course when Google notices something good happening they have to try to crush it.

        The only reason I got mine was for graphene.

        Should it become unusable to run graphene i will absolutely NOT use it with google firmware. I’ll flash it to stock and sell it. (I’m not cruel enough to give it to someone I know)

        I got it new super cheap, anyway. (From my carrier, for $120 - $5/mo for 24 months)
