Shopping around, seems like every option is doubling down on anti-user garbage... I don't trust myself to do a root or anything like that - my tech skills are juuust good enough to be painfully aware of my own dumbassery, but I'm doubting an out-of-the-box smartphone that isn't loaded with shit even exists.

Previously I've used Pixel and Galaxy, but those are both chief offenders.

Even on a years-old, out-of-service-window Pixel, GrapheneOS is worth it. I'm still using my Pixel 4a 5G and it's functional if occasionally quirky because of the hardware's age.

GrapheneOS has an in-browser installation utility now, so it'd be pretty easy.

Worth mentioning that GrapheneOS is going to be an out-of-the-box option for some upcoming Motorola models.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
