Let's make our own, realize McAfee's dream for him. It's what he'd have wanted.

Im checking out the pine phone that runs on linux. It was posted yesterday, alot more intriguing than this gay phone

Librem 5 is a nice option too.

It is also available on ali baba without all the maga marketing for around 120 dollars

Yes. And unless you have an OS, and the knowhow to install and utilize that OS, it won't do shit. $500 buys you a $125 phone and an OS that will actually work. You think that the new Apple iPhone is the same price with or without the Apple OS on that phone?

If you can't follow list based instructions for installing software you need a flip phone. Its not like you have to write the software. The guides usually even have pictures of what it will look like when you follow the steps

List based instructions for installing alternative software on a cell phone and then using that alternative software to find and install apps that work with the third party OS software that the user trusts?

You expect 330 million Americans to either learn their way around the field of mobile computer science, use their spy device that they have now and accept government intrusion, or get a flip phone cause reasons. Which way do you believe most people will go?

Why not spend $500 on a phone that doesn't track you and recommends alternative platforms that are preloaded? Why does this make the freedom phone bad?

This whole article is a bullshit smear piece.

  1. A discount China phone, yes. All cell phones are discount China phones. That doesn't make it bad.

  2. You can buy this phone with no OS or software for $125. So? OS's cost money and an OS that prevents tracking is worth the $375.

  3. "May be". No actual reviews. No actual tests. No actual data. This "may be" this or that based on previous tests of the cheap phone but not the OS that's on the freedom phone.

  4. Note the massive ((())) effort to stear you away from this phone. It may leak data like a strainer, but the awareness that we are being tracked, traced, and monitored and the effort by people to avoid these things is important.

A discount China phone, yes. All cell phones are discount China phones. That doesn't make it bad.

That's true, it being a Chinese phone does not make it bad. However, if someone were truly offering a freedom phone they would be open about where the phone came from and where the software it's running came from. Someone hiding that background is likely not being honest.

You can buy this phone with no OS or software for $125. So? OS's cost money and an OS that prevents tracking is worth the $375.

That's true, an OS that prevents tracking is worth $375. Android does not prevent tracking and is also free. Forks of Android that attempt to prevent tracking, such as LineageOS and GrapheneOS, are also free. "FreedomOS" has many possibilities, none of them good: * A fork of Android with no changes that thus still tracks * A fork of Android with changes, which is probably worse than all the work that went in to LineageOS/GrapheneOS * A fork of LineageOS/GrapheneOS with no changes, which is not worth $375 more than the price of LineageOS/GrapheneOS ($0) * A fork of LineageOS/GrapheneOS with changes; in which case why not say so instead of hiding it?

No actual reviews. No actual tests. No actual data.

Correct. A completely unknown company with no background just appeared on the market and claimed to have a new phone worth $499 with no spec sheet, no explanation of the operating system, and no reviews or tests. It sounds like ANOM to me.

Note the massive ((())) effort to stear you away from this phone.

Hegelian dialectic is a thing. If ((())) says X is bad that's not always because X is good, it's often because Y is good and they want to keep the "rebels" stuck thinking X is good.

but the awareness that we are being tracked, traced, and monitored and the effort by people to avoid these things is important.

Indeed it is. Instead of replacing Twitter with Parler, try replacing it with a Fediverse instance such as https://noagendasocial.com/public . Instead of trusting random unknown companies that slapped an rainbow american flag on "their" products, try following people who have been supporting open mobile devices for years like https://odysee.com/@RobBraxmanTech:6/de-googling-an-android-10-phone:a .


If you would like to talk further you can find me on IRC, XMPP, Matrix, Fediverse, Aether, etc.

How obvious does a trap have to be? Guaranteed this is just a low-effort op to catch some more qtards and proud boys.

I can't remember my spy lingo precisely but I'd say that to use such an obvious dangle as a false flag could be fun.

Don't let your dingle-dangle dangle in the mud, pick up your dingle-dangle wipe it on your bud!

The article is right, the website of that phone provides no technical information, other than, it comes with Parler installed, and it is not very likely a device like that will get any security updates, if you need a secure phone go for the Librem5 from Purism.

(((Parler)))

First there's that. No interest.

Second, I will refuse a phone that has any app pre-installed that isn't purely one of basic functionality. Such as a file explorder, a gallery app, cam, texting, phone services, calculator, notepad etc.

So, you don't own an iPhone or Droid? What do you use?

[–] 1 pt

Nice speculation. Based on nothing.

[–] 0 pt

That the website provides no tech info, based om speculation? I don´t think so.

[–] 0 pt

I don't think you know what the word "speculation" means. Their lack of information is not confirmation of your speculations.

So its a little better than every other phone out there..

[–] 1 pt

... No. It's worse. It pretends to be better while offering nothing more. The enemy within as it were.

Can you actually prove that this phone is anything other than as advertised? That article sure didn't get that done.

FBI Glowniggers couldn't be any more obvious with this one if they tried.

[–] 0 pt

They're not even trying to catch anybody. They're just laying the groundwork for a fake op. In a few months they'll "catch" some bad whiteys using this phone to plan an "insurrection" and the media will be playing it non-stop.

I'm gonna smash my phone and go 100% remote viewing.

No service fees, no backdoors, no tracking, no need to charge.

Ps. Tin foil hat needed

Live free or die, they will never get me alive.

like the NSA didnt backdoor the first one off the assembly line

[–] 1 pt

They don't really need backdoors for phones with stock (carrier) android. But the point stands.

[–] 0 pt

Back in the day, the first thing you did when getting netbus on someone's computer was to install BO and DT. The more back doors the better, from a hacking perspective
