Billionaires should not exist. Honestly, I’d expropriate them.

This device has been eol for years. It’s a major security risk. Get a supported phone.

The fact is there’s no privacy without security and the Librem doesn’t have the latter.

The sensor is built into the display.

I feel like a broken record at this point, but putting LineageOS on it still doesn’t fix the issue of no driver and firmware updates and you sacrifice secure boot, which makes the whole thing not worth it imo.

At least go for DivestOS which does support secure boot whenever possible. Even then, there’s no making an end of life phone secure. You can only do harm reduction.

Don’t use Lineage. It doesn’t even have secure boot. DivestOS would be a better option but keep in mind, there’s no making an end of life phone secure. All you can do is mitigate, like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

Tldr save up for a new phone and use DivestOS in the meantime for harm reduction only.

Socialists are fascists, got it. Is that you Ben Shiapiro?

I won’t stop you from using the Librem but at the end of the day a false sense of security is more damaging than anything else. I can with 100% certainty assure you that even your average Samsung phone has better security than the Librem. A phone with absolute abbysmal and ancient hardware that Purism sells for 10-20 times the cost of an equivalently powerful Android phone from AliExpress. Heck, even the PinePhone (which also runs Linux) sells for like $200 and has better hardware. Purism is a scam company. I know you don’t want to hear this but it’s the truth.

You set up the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 8 like any other Android phone. Either during first setup or by going into your security settings.

In the case of LineageOS which doesn’t even support secure boot, I’d argue no. You may have a look at DivestOS though. Keep in mind no matter what you do, there’s no making an end of life device secure. You can only do harm reduction. Basically putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

That’s not a real solution since you’ll still miss out on driver and firmware updates. Worst of all, installing Lineage gets rid of secure boot. Which needless to say, isn’t secure.

Two years worth of known security vulnerabilities is VERY significant. That’s literally hundereds of them, at least.

I use the fingerprint sensor. Don’t get a Librem, it’s a scam and security on it is a disaster. Stick with GrapheneOS. Heck, stock is more secure than the Librem, believe it or not. I wouldn’t touch that thing with a 10ft pole.

Not justifying this in any way but the S9 hasn’t received security updates in ages. It’s the phone equivalent to still running Windows XP, it’s a major security risk. You should upgrade to some newer phone. Personally I like the Pixels since you can run GrapheneOS which definitely doesn’t have any ads and the newest models get updates for 7 years.

As someone who uses both Android and iOS, I appreciate my Pixel 8 Pro running GrapheneOS (a custom version of Android) more and more.

You’re proving my point that the issue lies with the system, not with the president.

What democracy are you talking about? All I see is a war mongering oligarchy. The problem isn’t with the president, it’s with the US itself.

Americans have some serious Stockholm syndrome if they believe voting for any of these candidates makes a meaningful difference when they are both war mongering fascists. The status quo can not be changed by voting but by anti-government protests forcing the current system to collapse.

Besides Roe ended under Biden, not Trump. There have also been more deportations under Biden than under Trump so this vote Biden or else blackmail isn’t even based on facts. It’s like choosing between Himmler and Hitler.

Fedora’s my favorite. It’s also the most secure without going straight to QubesOS, which is not beginner friendly.

Are they also banning the Viet Cong flag? Cause that’s basically what Hamas and Hezbollah are for their respective countries. Also, equating resistance movements with the Nazis is utterly disgusting.

They’re both fascists. The issue is the whole undemocratic American voting system.

I’m not gonna vote for Mussolini just because I think he’s better than Hitler.

We need anti government protests on a massive scale. No amount of voting will ever “fix” this country.
