  • High-quality studies take time. Yes there’s a lag, but doing the science is still super super important. Kind of get tired of this dismissive response every time a study gets published about a hot topic. Yes, we maybe ‘knew’ this, but sometimes we ‘know’ things and turn out to be partially or entirely wrong, or previously unknown factors are uncovered. If we want to truly understand a phenomenon it’s maybe best not to act like studying is a waste of time.

    Doing exactly the same. Graphene without play services or play store. Use f-droid, acressent, or obtanium for as much as possible and aurora as a supplement for stuff I can’t get FOSS.

    Got lucky that I happened to have a pixel already before deciding to degoogle.

    Don’t miss it at all. The only mild inconvenience is there’s no substitute for google pay, but that’s far from a dealbreaker.

    Otherwise my experience is frankly better. Less bloat, more control, my battery life has gotten better somehow (not sure why, fewer services running in the background maybe?), and feels good to use and support FOSS projects. Definitely wouldn’t go back to stock.
