My iphone 7 and now iphone 12 pro have zero issues. Only issue with my current 12 pro is battery is less than 80% but honestly still lasts a day. 7 was replaced because I broke it after 4-5 years. 12 is now 5 plus years old and no issues.

On the iPhone, things are locked down to only what Apple wants you to do, but the UX is polished.

I found this to be true until IOS 18. It's so bad now.

You make an interesting point. After I moved to iphone from android I realized I don't want to customize everything if everything works well. Linux made me learn I care about privacy and FOSS. Wish I could get both!

My last android flagship was prior to iphone 7 so I'm sure things can and have changed but it was bad enough to influence me wanting something that I know last. Lot's of critiques against apple except for how darn long they last.

I added that review because it’s been my experience with android flagships on the past sadly

Checked their Mastodon today, it’s still problematic at best. It’s 99% picking fights.

Why must everything federate? Would you federate a car?

Found this on Micay: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/daniel-micay-publicly-steps-down-as-project-leader-of-grapheneos/12677

My interactions were last year so it seems like a positive step.

This too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36089104

It used to be Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD and to some extent Linus were benchmarks for "prickly" open source leaders, but I think Daniel gave them all quite a run for the money.

LOL

That’s good to hear. I’m like you, running an iPhone 12 from five or so years ago.

How’s your battery life doing? Do you like the photo quality?

Wonder why they feel the need to do that, lol

 

I love my iPhone but care more about more about FOSS. All my computers and servers run Linux and I want my phone to as well. GrapheneOS sounds nice but I’m worried about switching from an iPhone. Before getting my first iPhone 7, androids would never last more than a year before they become slow and buggy (LG and Samsung flagships). I also worry about how trustworthy GrapheneOS is, I see them getting in random fights with users on Mastodon—that doesn’t exhibit a stable group to me.

TLDR really love FOSS, considering switching from iPhone but am unsure.

E1 found this on wiki lol

In a detailed review of GrapheneOS for Golem.de, Moritz Tremmel and Sebastian Grüner said they were able to use GrapheneOS similarly to other Android systems, while enjoying more freedom from Google, without noticing differences from "additional memory protection, but that's the way it should be." They concluded GrapheneOS cannot change how "Android devices become garbage after three years at the latest", but "it can better secure the devices during their remaining life while protecting privacy."

Why would anyone want this when Ublock exists? Brave, the ai slop loving “browser” making an adblocker and being forced into “used to be ad slop” Firefox fork waterfox isn’t appealing.

I will continue to enjoy LibreWolf

What does this solve that a standard CalDav server doesn’t? Plenty of FOSS apps for web, Linux, iPhone that can all sync to the many caldav servers like Baikal? Caldav servers can handle unlimited numbers of tasks.

Also I read through your page it seems you don’t have CalDav implemented currently. How do you sync between local applications then? Would you sync with other CalDav servers? Or is the project just the webui currently?

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see how your couldn’t development meets any of these requirements except the nice ui

Is there an easy way to access this via PWA?

What does this mean in your readme? How has technology for such a simple seeming project been behind and caught up?

This is my third attempt; the first two failed because the technology for fast, offline-first apps wasn't ready.

 

Lemmy, Mastodon, PieFed, Lobsters, HN, Tilders, trackers, IRC..?
