😔 ofc politicians like the idea of building the same corrupt banking system on top of Bitcoin. Whatever happened to eliminating banks?
With as much as I shill #GrapheneOS, you'd think I am getting paid. I'm not. I just want to live in a world of smart, uncoercible people, and as it happens GrapheneOS is a killer tool to that end...

What I said above. Specifically about photos, contacts, chats, etc that normies think are private, but actually are not.
Please FOSS. Then you can have all my money
The key is, most normies just take Apple at face value of "being private". If you can get them to dig a bit deeper and realize that's just marketing bs, then most rational people will reconsider why they are even using Apple in the first place
Sure, one thing that really helps normies is to dispelled the Apple privacy lies. Normies think Apple is private and think the data on their phone is theirs alone (family photos, SMS messages, etc) because Apple markets it that way.
If you explain that iPhone does not keep your data private, it only limits use of your data by Apple and its 'data sharing partners', normies tend to recognize the corporate shenanigans and sometimes they'll ask "what can I do if I don't want Apple to have access to
Why has nobody started a crypto fund called BlockRock yet?
There is no great trick. They just have to decide to prioritize freedom and privacy. To that end, explaining how iPhone and stock android really do impede freedom, has led several to make that decision.
Ive gone so far as to by friends phones and install Graphene for them myself. At the end of the day, learning a new phone is work, and they have to want it, or they'll never do the work.
So, out of curiosity, what killer feature keeps you using iPhone instead of swching to a freedom preserving phone like Graphene or Calyx? What feature does Apple offer thats so much more important than freedom?

Next time might want to give the books to people who at least know how to read
This is a slogan I think could really gain traction. I'm adopting this immediately. Time for shirts and hats and tats!
I heard about this the other day. Can get a phone sent from Calyx with everything pre-loaded:

Personally, I picked up a used phone from someone I knew and flashed #GrapheneOS myself. Incredibly simple if you want to go the route of trusting Graphene’s site with the install.
Flashing it yourselfx as you did, really is quite simple. I actually direct new users to that route instead of buying a preflashed phone. Preflashed phones cost a fortune and aren't necessary for 99% of people
