He has switched to graphene os.

It’s going to become a tech channel in a year reporting on opensource news. Hopefully on peertube.
Haha! It would be so amazing if he started a channel on PeerTube
Hell yeah please consider covering all the different mobile operating systems.
Oh, wow. Guess it was a matter of time after he switched to Linux 😏
But I also still have much to learn before I can properly selfhost. For stuff I want anyone else to access, I’ve just put individual services on its own VPS… Probably a personal VPN, wireguard or tailscale is the choice if I want to think about selfhosting.
Didn’t Graphene specifically require a Google/Pixel phone versus Lineage etc which works on many various devices
Yes, as the pixel hardware is ironically secure.
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
Sailfish does have the prettiest ux and is very secure.
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
It’s hard to answer as I haven’t figured out which model is the best for Canada’s market as the Fairphone isn’t sold here.
Though I wouldn’t suggest the PinephonePro as the hardware is very slow.

It’s always a bit funny to me when people make these videos on YouTube (since it’s owned by Google).
Degoogling in my book involves blocking all their domains and/or IP addresses at the network level rendering websites like YouTube inoperable.
To be fair, how are you going to reach the people that are Googled into eventually going to something like Peertube if they’re tied up to Google still?
This is just silly. YouTube can become just another data source for the savy self-hoster. IPs intact and everything.
I wish irony was lethal.
He made a video. About de-Googling. On Google’s video platform.
Irony is dead.
Literally 20 seconds into the video he addresses it. 20 seconds.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good
I wonder if he was thinking about Peertube in that moment.
He can’t monetise on PeerTube. He will be able to get sponsors, but YouTube revenue will dry up.
He can’t monetise on PeerTube.
Also, (like it or not), at the moment peertube has an insignifigantly tiny audience compared to youtube.
If you’re trying to reach people, you go where the people are.
Of course he can, he can have a link to patreon for donations or even employ somebody to add a donation feature to his peertube instance. Monetisation =/= ads.
I only know two things about this clown: he’s an “influencer,” and, more importantly, a racist. Good job spreading his reach.
This is his redemption arc, spreading the word about Linux and FOSS
Those two things aren’t even related. He never took account for his behavior and now his fan base of rabid racist children are now racists adults.
He gave multiple apologies, explained himself, and never repeated the mistake again in any possible way. And he was never a demagogue or other such either, but definitely have that “edgy immature Nordic guy” energy.
Not sure what’s left. Since he’s in Japan, do you want Seppuku?
Yeah it definitely has nothing to do with the people who raised those kids. Fuck that pewdiepie guy
