For "normie" protestors who doesn't have the budget to get new gadgets, is Airplane Mode enough? (So to just use their phone as a Camera/Camcorder and Offline Maps for navigation) (sh.itjust.works)

I doubt its even environmentally/economically sustainable for a whole crowd of millions to just buy burners to discard after every protest. Too much ewaste. Is there a strategy that everyone can use without generating too much ewaste?

Not sure if I want to get a pixel for Graphene, now that Google stopped publishing pixel-specific source code which means moving forward, Graphene OS will have a hard tine trying to fix firmware security flaws. If I had one, I'd keep it, but I currently don't have one, so I aint getting one.

Like IDK, maybe CalyxOS on a Fairphone? (I'm in the US so I'd have to import it, which mean customs can tamper with it.)

Or I can get a Muena's e/OS Fairphone 4, so I don't have to deal with customs myself, but this is about to get out of date, and it cost the same as the 5 so seems like a waste of money.

Or a Pinephone?

Or a Librem 5? (Expensive AF tho, and the company is sketchy)

What even is the future of Graphene, now that Google is being a dick?
