I'm in South East Asia (won't reveal more for privacy reasons). Facebook is really popular here.

That's impossible to avoid actually. That's how all colleges in my country work and generally that's how life works. Facebook is massive here and Messenger is the most popular instant messaging app among the youth.

Ugh. I would love to stop using it but I need it for school. My college regularly posts information on Facebook groups instead of its own websites and I need Messenger for communication/group work in college.

Mullvad and Brave on desktop. Vanadium and Cromite/Brave on Android.

I started caring about privacy at the tail end of high school. I started running LineageOS with microG then. Now that I'm in college, I've quit most mainstream social media, and I run GrapheneOS.

You'll be back, soon you'll see, you'll remember that you belong to me 🎶

Nice, I got a renewed one from Amazon this year for $330. It was as good as new, no scratches whatsoever, battery health was at 99% and still had 3 months of warranty left.

It's too expensive for me. Not worth it when a used Pixel is way cheaper, has way better hardware and has support for GrapheneOS.

I have "the choice". It is one cute choice.

I live in a country in that South China Sea region and I hope mainland China magically disappears or something.

• If you're going custom ROMs, always go with an official custom ROM. Go with a well - trusted one that is consistent with updates, not an official ROM that may be dropped at a moment's notice.
• Always choose devices that have long - term support and are consistent with security patches like the Google Pixels (5 years). Do not choose brands like Xiaomi as their lackluster updates mean that you will receive late security updates, and proprietary drivers for the components in your device will go out of date in 2 years. Your phone will be insecure and cannot be made secure when those 2 years end.

Boy English is pretty tame. My native language has gendered pronouns for what feels like every type of relative you can have. I don't see my extended family very often so truthfully I don't even know half of those pronouns. Sometimes a relative pops up out of nowhere and I get all confused about pronouns again. Seriously, like last year at a family gathering my aunt (maybe? idk, she's my grandmother's niece) brought someone and was like "heyyyy yall are related come say hiii" and she was like brand new information to everyone there lol.

Too expensive for me. I understand why, like the whole being "fair" thing and all but those specs are not good enough for 700€.

ALLIGATOR? I HARDLY KNOW HER.

Excellent hardware, mediocre software, too expensive. To elaborate on the software, long software update is good. And the iPhone is certainly smooth. However it requires too many workarounds for/straight up can't do what I would consider basic features on Android. And it certainly isn't bug free. For the average user though, I don't think they care about any of that, they only care about the brand, which is why the iPhone still sells so well.

They have their own brand of HIV too.

I'll wait a couple generations and then buy one for GrapheneOS.

Does it work with Discord?

If you're considering rooting, I'd say don't. Rooting is like blowing a hole in the wall of a castle. It breaks the Android security model. A rooted device is insecure and cannot be made secure no matter how many Magisk modules you flash. Do not root a device you do anything important on.
