You could swap out the Pixel+Graphene for say a FairPhone+LineageOS. I ran misc-secondhand-phone+LineageOS for over a decade. Still selfhost everything I need. My family have all their photos upload to my nextcloud instance instead of Google.

My switch to Pixel+Graphene is because ultimately the problem is political not technical. A banking app I needed for work refused to run without the real Google services. It also refused Custom ROMs. I tried a lot of tricks. Also GoogleMaps is the only satnav with traffic information in the route planning. There is other things, but Graphene allows you a compromise of running the Google services, but sandboxed.

The problem is not technical, it's political. Most people don't understand the difference between a standard and a monopoly. The law makers are asleep to monopolies and the need for competition in the tech world, so have allow this tech dystopia to happen. Some that are more awake know big monopolies are easier to get things like this story from. Multinational corporation are money machines, they won't really fight for their users. But they miss the bigger picture.

If you care about all this stuff, there is groups like:

Maybe also https://openuk.uk/ , though they more work with big tech.

It's fine. They had issues during covid shortages the same as everyone else and that was the full Pi, not the RP2040. Which was actually fine at the time.

The RP2350 has a lot going for it. The ADCs are decent and you can get 8 which is a reasonable number. It's not quite like an STM, but I don't really like STM's own SDK, I prefer libopencm3, and STM are expensive.

Also RP2350 has RISCV core you can use if you want.

The SDK is good, for something based cmake... Give me straight make! APIs are all C, which is good. It's all just what you'd want to find really. No massive vendor IDE trying to be forced on you. No wacky build systems. No C++.

Raspberry Pi RP2350 & RP2040 are microcontrollers

You don't think it's that too big a chunk of US voters are backwards misogynists? Wish I didn't, but I do. I'm not going to get my hopes up a third time.

I honestly don't think it matters how great or not she is. I just don't think America will vote for a woman yet. They prefer a rapist fashist narcissist.

Yer, Brexit is our Trump. It hurt us badly and continues to hurt us. We have a more grown up party in power now, but they dare not question Brexit as the popularists will jump on them if they do.

See from here in the UK, both women seams good enough and miles better than Trump. I think it says a lot about the US that both times they choose Trump over these clearly competent woman. The US just isn't as socially progressive as Democratic leadership seam to think. I agree there was more than just misogynism going on, but it seams like it was a solid chunk of it.

Mmm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results

Con + Reform was 38% of vote. Lab + Lib + Green + SNP + Plaid was 54.5% of the vote.

The country pretty much always is progressive. It's just the progressive vote is more split.

If we didn't have FPTP it would all be so different.

It certainly feels like that, but "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
