Only consider CalyxOS and GrapheneOS. Ideologues will push you exclusively towards GrapheneOS but it’s not th be-all solution for all people that they think it is. My current and previous phone are GrapheneOS. It’s fine. It does what I want. I don’t find it amazing only because it’s a phone, not a new discovery. I use GrapheneOS with F-Droid with all anti-features disabled in F-Droid settings and I have all the apps I need.

Lineage will likely wirk with random phones, that dosn’t mean it’s quality. I say, if a phone OS works on LG, Samaung, Nokia, and a Chinese company phone, I don’t trust the stability of the OS.

I see the name e/OS around, I don’t hear it ever mentioned in public discussions, I think it’s for Fairphone or one of those gimmick name phones.

I’ve never heard of DivestOS before you mentioning it.

I’m currently watching it and I can’t stand how weak he is. He is so passive I suspect he is so terrorified of showing any friction, that in private he abuses people when he thinks he’s safe from getting caught because he void of any principals. He’s completely vapid and hollow. Stop with the constant “Yeah yeah yeah…” when Jay is talking and learn how to be a man with principals and convictions. Do you notice with every criticism and challenge from Jay that he never objects and never pushes back or disagrees? He’s spineless.

Wikipedia is a collection of random statements, I don’t go to that side. Wikipedia does not accuratly ddscribe the things that I’m against, and it does not properly explain the things that I support.

Who made up the phrase “Christian Nationalist” like some brain dead involant who thinks it actually exists? What is it with white people always recycling the same attacks and don’t have the brain cells to think of something original?

I would sugvest the 4070 Ti Super because I think you will longer graphical performance out of it than Radeon, and sinse path tracing is the way of the future, nVidia stands on their own.

Sure at any price point Radeon can put up higher numbers, but as soon as you turn on lighting like raytracing and path tracing, the numbers for Radeon fall off.

I k.ow there is continuous debates about how pointless raytracing is, or what Unreal Engine calls Lumen I believe, but look at 5 games who promote raytracing as a selling point for the game with the feature turned on and how it looks turned off, and also look at the difference between raytracing and path tracing, and I argue it’s only going to get better than the current iteration, thereby making it the way of the future for games so buy a GPU that is better prepared for future new releases.

I know that for a fact that you can’t install GrapheneOS on it, but CalyxIS is available for the Fairphone, then flash that and you’ll have full protection, minus mandatory communication services that are require to use any kind of a smartphone.

Go through Brax’s videos and see if he ever shows how to do anything or if he nly talks about it but never gives instructions. There are random no name channels that show how to flash ROMs, what does Brax show?

Look at his website, does that look like it was made by someone within th past 25 years?

Apparently he has some kind of an APK file to install, how easy is it to find and what is the date of the last release?

Does he always sell out of phones, or were they never available for public buyers? Where is his ordering page? Does the order page say sold out or is there no ordering website?

My point being, add up all of the evidence and comapred it to random websites that list which used phones they sell, compare to the amount of random videos that walkthrough how to to flash a ROM, I say Brax starts to look like a con who doesn’t know tech, only parrots what he reads. Compare his website to free wsbsite builders, see which looks like more recent designs and web technologies.

X870-E board, whichever CPU you can afford, and DDR5 RAM. Everything else is good for quite awhile.

They are alternarives but not competitors, designed for 2 different audiences. Rumble is for people who have self control and can control their emotions. People who can’t aeticulate differences and explain how they came to a different point of view seem to get zero traction or no interest on Rumble.

Kick is for livestreaming, Rumble is mainly VOD for people who enjoy disagreements and challenging what pople say, but Rumble does have livestreaming functionality.

Yoy can dream up every fantasy scenerio you want until you are butt stupid, it does not make it plausible.

I guess that you cannot read well so I will say it plainly, when a TV has no access to the outside internet over the lifespan of the TV, zero information or files will ever be uploaded and will stay on TV with no external copy existing anymore.

There is no meaningful data for the OS to capture if it used as a display for externally connected devices.

The only way to have 100% privacy on all devices is not have internet service.

Yes, plugin ethernet, install updates, unplug ethernet, never connect it to wi-fi, there is no risk to privacy.

Are people aware that they can buy a smart TV and never conntect it to wi-fi and never plug in the ethernet? There is no risk if TV never gets an IP.

I do agree with your explanarion. Your initial responce came across as flippant as if there is only one approved opinion, and that is to hate Twitter, as opposed respecting people’s decision to only use Twitter.

I see the hyocritical posts on the fediverse to hate on X/Twitter, but at the same time the fediverse is constantly begging to be accepted as relevant. Considering it’s only a small number of people that use Twitter on a weekly basis, Mastadon is completely meaningless and will forever be nothing, and nobody has ever heard of Lemmy, but Lemmy has already garaunteed itself to remain nonexistant to discussions on the stredt and in busineasaes.

I do wonder if Mastodon is doomed to be forgotten, even if there are servers still running it, but it’s too early to say. But I will bet cash money that absolutely nothing from fediverse will ever have broad appeal and fediverse will permanently stay in a tiny nothing hole separate from society.

I agree that an 8800 is higher level. My standard is any GPU that does 1440p 144fps ultra of a 3 year old gane is above midrange.

I believe for GPU selection, a lot of people would be happy with 1080p 120fps path tracing on ultra. If graphical quality is the most important thing about gaming like some PC make it oi to be, there would be no consoles that sell.

Since there is a very large market of people who have not bought a new release within the last 2 years, it makes for a lot of people who would enjoy raytracing/path tracing getting 120fps at 1080 to 1440 but not more or higher… The mass market is years away from 4K 144Hz.

Your question is disengenuous and is driven by abiased agenda, not objective observance.

No, there will not be. The RX 8000 will top at the mid range. There will be no successor for the 7900 XTX. Maybe the 9000 in 2027 will have a 9900 XT. I wish there will be a 8800 XT for $500 to put pressure on nVndia, but with Blackwell 50 series using GDDR7 and RX 8000 using GDDR6, an RX 8800 XT for $500 might make no difference.

Or people can be adults who make their own decisions to use any website they want, including being on x.com everyday if that’s what a person chooses to do.

You are crying like a child over not getting your own way. You can buy an Intel GPU. You can buy Radeon or RX.
