Same. I’ve been using Apple products for years. The trade-offs they made were acceptable to me. That’s now over.

I’ve been looking at trying something like a Pixel but with Calyx as a first step while waiting for the PinePhone and the Libre M to mature further.

In case you hadn't heard this story, all PinePhones in a recent batch of shipments were redirected to NewZealand, regardless of their final destination [1]. Some people were suggesting that this could mean they were possibly tampered with.

I wonder if it was the cheapest Five-Eyes country to ship them all through.

This can't happen fast enough... though I can't get behind Purism/LibreM it's just too fucking expensive, basic privacy and ownership of your device shouldn't be a privilege.
