Should I keep oem-locked pixel or buy from Google?

I was lucky enough to get a like-new pixel 7 at a good price. It's in great condition, but it turns out to be an "unlocked" Verizon variant.

Originally I wanted to try out GrapheneOS, and now I'm wondering if it would make sense to keep it anyway. I'd like to degoogle completely, but is it worth a couple hundred extra for a guaranteed oem unlock?

Miyoo Mini restock incoming!

Anyone holding out hope for the regular mini like me, get psyched!

Sounds like there are 200 blue in June and another 500 black and grey in July.

r/Blind's Moderator's have met with Reddit. They say the admins didn't allow them to discuss API changes or 3rd party apps during the meeting. Also, it's not clear if the official app will have modera
  • I agree this really seems like it should be dead center in the conversation. It clearly demonstrates just how massively reddit is messing up. Right before leaving last week I saw tons of people upset and disgusted when they realized these repercussions. I don't know if that sentiment has continued over there.

  • Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?
  • Personally I feel like the Mario movie was one of the best movies like that to come out. Sure it's nothing too amazing, but for a video game adaptation it's definitely up there. It does seem like everything has to be remade to be almost deliberately awful though.

  • Are some instances/communities closed off from others?
  • lemmymap.feddit.de is a map that shows a few things. Clicking blocked shows the corresponding connections. It doesn't show the direction, but hovering over will show you an instances number of blocks. Some of the data could be wrong, though. Last I checked every instance is listed as no downvotes. The defederation with beehaw showed up pretty quickly though.

    One note, maybe don't click the 'open' checkbox because that tries to show every connection and blows up my browser!

  • Can Lemmy World subscribe to beehaw subs?
  • Isn't it also the case that each instance gets updates from all others? So in this case, lemmy.world's access to beehaw communities might lack user@beehaw.org activity and beehaw's access lacks user@lemmy.world activity?

    But I also believe lemmy.world can see old beehaw stuff from before the defed, so that could play a role. I'm really just trying to wrap my head around all the network effects and repercussions, its confusing as hell.

    Edit: There's this comment that explains things pretty well, in case anyone is curious: https://lemmy.world/comment/205763 -- sounds like all updates go to and eventually come from the instance holding a community, so if you're defederated from them, you only see federated cross-posts in a sense. At that point I think there are different comment sections altogether.

    I'm 110% sure I'm still misunderstanding something, for what it's worth lmao
