The reason is locked bootloader's, some carriers lock the pixels bootloader down meaning you can't install custom roms. Some lock it until the device is paid off or during a 90 day period.

The Pixel 8 Pro is likely the best. You can flash graphine or pretty much any rom. Samsung really doesn't have custom roms anymore. If you get a pixel buy it from the Google Store
My main issue is the US considers Israel bad misinformation
I feel what streaming services did was repeat cable, like we cut the cord just to bring it back.
Linux security to me has always been, don't download random packages you don't trust.
*invents stupid and logicitally impossible truck.
*Production challenges
Hopefully we work around this, encryption is more important now than ever.
I HATE THIS SO MUCH, the cops are gonna use this to steal people's decryption keys and so much more harm!
While I get misinformation sucks, I kinda dislike the stateization approach toward social media, I'm almost worried that if they found out about the fediverse they would make us get a special social media licence proving we are multi billion dollar company with a misinfo task force to run an instance. I feel like the centralization has honestly made misinformation way more possible.
Honestly I feel like people would pay more for a simple windowsOS, no spyware, no ads, just fucking works as an OS. I already switched to Linux but some people haven't or can't at the moment.
I would say pixel 8 pro, likely the best phone you can get that will have support for 8 years plus. Flash graphineOS or lineage if you don't care about high security and want Android auto
I use a pixel with graphineOS and it's more while apps in my work profile are awful, apples in my main are all open source. I think the issue is the all mobile devices are tracking devices out of the box
