We were promised a technological future with ways to search for things of interest, find out how to get to places on a map, etc. Instead the government can now track us in our daily lives anywhere and everywhere we go 24/7. That would be great in a world where the government is of the people, by the people and for the people. However in reality they want to find us and send us to el Salvador. WTF!

Until things change, I am not buying a single electronic device. Not an iPad or a TV or an empty-tree player. This is ridiculous. And now we can’t even know anything because all news is coming from the Murdocks and they just killed off NPR and PBS. This is how the bad part of the story starts.

See you all in a fire pit somewhere!

    Barrier too high for the normie. We need a commercial Graphene OS offering.

    But even then the normie will be compelled to install GPS. Can’t even fucking get an uber anymore 🤡

      Install over browser is a really low entry bar. Commercial would see about zero users.

        Yes the person who can flash ain’t never paying for lower speced pre loaded phone

        However, I think you are underestimating the market for people who would buy it imho. They care about privacy but they need to come in the box and device just needs to load
