    Yeah don’t get me wrong, I actually prefer Pixels from a hardware perspective and have had a few of them. Just seems like a weird choice for somebody specifically saying they’re trying to get away from Google. Baby steps I guess :-)

      I mean, for most people I’d wager that “degoogling” is mostly about stopping your data from flowing to them, not your money. And since just the hardware itself is (presumably) not spying on you, that’s probably an okay tradeoff to make for many

      In the video he said he already had a pixel so it was a natural step for him.

        Makes sense to me, especially since I’m in the same boat. I’m looking at a Sailfish device to run in tandem while I consider what the best options are to move on

            Yeah. Got any suggestions about hardware? I’m thinking of a PinephonePro. It’s not the beefiest or better hardware but should be enough to get a feel for things and tinker around
