Fairphone can’t run Graphene and the other de-Googled Android ROMs that it can run aren’t nearly as secure

I feel your pain on storage and headphones but Graphene is worth the sacrifice to me. I also like that my 8a will get updates until at least 2030.

I can do mobile deposit with both my credit union and Discover.

I have been using it for 2+ years exclusively. I had a few issues with mobile deposit with my old credit union, but I moved to a new one and it works. So does the Discover app. Pretty much everything else is great, and I worry much less about my phone spying on me.

Good to know. Any informative reads on this? I like burritos but prefer them as the main dish.

Graphene really is the next best thing. If you can get your hands on a used Pixel or splurge for a new one, you won’t regret converting. At least until there’s a production-ready gnuPhone

Baltimoron here - he’s definitely not the worst mayor we’ve had in recent history, and he probably gets some credit for supporting the violence reduction programs that have led to our truly historic drop in homicides over the last couple years.

Also, he has good taste in music
