I’ll review again. Last time I looked was 3 to 4 years ago.

I’m sticking with Proton for now. If Switzerland ends up being no different than the 5 eyes, I’ll be more intent on finding a replacement.

Well, what unlockable options are there? I certainly accept that I might not be keyed into everything. Fairphone is the only one i recall.

Please, don’t just snark. Enlighten me.

Well, take a look at LineageOS and the associated microg edition. They work on dozens of devices. I’ve been flashing ROM’s since the first Android phone and I’m still using my Pixel 2XL, degoogled. I still have my Moto X 2013 {with custim, now unusable ROM} because it is like a river rock. It feels great to hold.

Google phones have always been unlockable - primarily for the benefit of developers.

Calyx also offers a degoogled Android, focused on privacy like Graphene.

If one wants a phone and own it, Google is the only sure way right now.

Tutonota is German, which is part of the already full on surveilance state.

Je suis desolee - Je ne comprends pas l’espagnol. Parlez-vous francais ou l’anglais ? ;)

This stuff is embarassimg. I swear, next time i travel I’m gonna have to claim I am Canadian.

The stupid - it burns!

I’m the same way, been using that for my P6 and P2 XL. I thought the P2 battery or usb-c was failing 4 years ago until I degoogled it with Lineage for MicroG. Zero problems charging it after that, and battery is still adequate. It disxharges faster now, but at 6 yo, one has to expect degradation.

Adaway is the other must-have app for me as it blocks adware, spyware, malware at the OS level.

I will unroot my phone or use a different encryoted phone when i travel overseas because rooted phones are insecure if the bad actor gets physical access.

I can’t speak on multiplayer experiences, but i have several emulators set up on my OLED deck. GameCube, N64, switch, ps2. They work well, and i have a 3DO pro2 i use while it’s docked to my 4k tv, sound through a surround sound bar with woofer - amazing sound. I mostly run skyrim and Balder’s Gate 3 at the moment, but i enjoyed BotW and my son likes sonic.

Yep, it’s that easy. I have it on my pixel 2xl, degoogled and it’s still usable {android 14)
