SOMETHING WHOLESOME

Currently messing around with floral attars, so far I’m really liking 3x jasmine, 1x Ylang Ylang and 1x rose oil.

Not a fan of android or google tbh, but the hardware seems pretty nice. Also I was pretty surprised to see someone on Hexbear talking negatively about GrapheneOS and pixels. Good info tho, thanks for your input

The real crime here is those cargo shorts

If you had to replace your note 9S today what would you go with?

What about the OnePlus 12 do you like/dislike? Also are you running the stock rom?

Xiaomi 13 and MIUI

The good: The build quality outperformed any previous iPhone or Pixel I’ve used. Super fast charging, It took less than 15 minutes to reach nearly full charge. Also everything I used ran quite quickly, including the OS.

The bad: It was nearly difficult to properly receive notifications due to MIUI’s battery management. There were no basic aesthetic modification options available; I got the impression that Xiaomi was pressuring me to purchase themes.

The meh: The language barrier was somewhat inconvenient when the keyboard would automatically switch to pinyin, could chalk this up to the pre install rom and my own skill issue of not being able to read hànyǔ or zhōngwén.

How do I get one outside of china? I have seen these on AliExpress, but I’m not sure whether I can help with this one as I acquired it from a close friend.

Idk if it’s rare but it’s def a banger

Ahh so that’s what he was talking about when he said

TW: Transphobia

I think a part of it is how new the P320 is. Glocks had a similar reputation in the early 80’s - 90’s, with over 120 accidental discharges in the Washington Metropolitan Police Department from 1988 to 1998 for example. In my opinion, I think it’s mostly ND’s and cops attempting to cover their asses. Here’s an opinion piece from 2015 talking about how unsafe Glocks are: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-owens-glock-accidents-20150508-story.html. Also, here’s a link discussing the “safety” of Glocks and a reference to a trigger recall with some pretty good diagrams: https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/glock-trigger/

I don’t think anyone recently audited GrapheneOS, so I’m not sure about the trackerless aspect of it. Hardware wise, there’s a bit of concern given the closed-source nature of the baseband firmware on pixels. Admittedly, it’s been a bit since I looked into it, but last time I checked, there were no tools that would enable fuzzing, root-cause analysis, or debugging of the pixels baseband firmware images. So currently, I don’t think we have the tools to check this. Also I would love a good Linux phone. I was really hoping the librem-5 would pan out, but it looks pretty dead at this point.

I do like what there trying to do but it runs on google hardware

All smartphones are trash

Android and iOS are both trash; both are built for data harvesting, but none of them are private. Can we stop with the “my team is better” BS, your simping for billion-dollar conglomerates; I thought y’all were better than this.
