She was getting fed up with the direction all the tech companies were going and started researching how to take ownership of her shit. I only found out because she asked me about Graphene OS, which caught me totally off-guard because she was an apple person for so long. We talked about it at length, then she decided to ditch her iPhone for a used P9PXL, and asked me to install Graphene OS as soon as it arrived.
She is incredibly sharp and is more than happy to struggle with figuring out a whole new world of privacy and real ownership than deal with forced "upgrades" that do nothing except harvest even more data.
Nice! Yeah my wide gets irritated if I even mention hosting something. She's still under the impression open source means poorly thrown together... I've self hosted things for so long, and I had a new pack of hard drives fail (4 out of 8) after moving about 50TB of data, so she sees how bad it can be to host; however, 90%of her stuff on her phone isn't backed up bc she won't let me install anything to help and she has no cloud storage.
She works for a big (in its industry) software company and of course is always fed the "little guys" aren't as good, etc. I'm chipping away slowly but surely. 🤞
