So excited to have the #Lightphone3

On that note, "unplugging" for the weekend 👋

If the site or service's business model relies almost solely on any of the following tactics, instead of delivering an advertised service, don't use it:

• Algorithmic manipulation
• Attention hacking
• Financial irresponsibly or urgency
• Data harvesting and selling

All links and data are updated.

Shows threads if there.

The "Reply via Mastodon" also checks the users server to make it much cleaner to interact.

• Mastodon logo shows if post was xposted and hyperlinks (also shows an embed on the post page of the mastodon post with stats)
• Likes work and are counted
• Comment links to the comments section powered by a self hosted isso instance. Counts also work
• Photo is the total photo count on the post
• View Post is always there, but changed to Read more if truncated by total photos being more than 3
• Share provides a copy link or email

A few of my favorite things:

• Posts are truncated by character limit and photo count, 3. Also shows a number of photos on the post
• Has a like button via https://github.com/ColinEberhardt/applause-button that shows on the home page and direct posts
• A very slick /tags page
• All colors are in line with https://catppuccin.com/palette/

Looking to add web mentions support and better integration with my mastodon

GrapheneOS, I just can't quit you 🫶

It all comes down to software. I think the hardware on the Fairphone 6 is pretty great. However I just couldn't find the right rom and software balance for my needs.

Here's a quick rundown on why I'm back.

• The ability to run completely without google services
• Intense attention to privacy
• Easy app to app network blocking. This is a must for apps like google photos, which I only use for the pixel camera. Neither get network access
• The recent confirmed partnership with Motorola: https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/
• The impressive amount of features they continue to add

I'm back to google hardware, which I'm less than thrilled about, but the GrapheneOS X Motorola partnership might finally be my exit from Pixel devices! Can't wait to see what they do with this.

Getting used to the default bliss launcher is honestly the biggest hurtle for me. Of course I could change it, but like to get the default experience. I’m going to be honest, its growing on me.

The 3.5 update brought a lot of stability to the Fairphone 6, and it really shows. The Fairphone camera app being default is great. Full support for Fairphone Moments via the hardware switch is also a game changer.

I’ve been on a journey to completely decouple from big tech for a while now.

It’s been fairly successful from a combo of self hosting via unraid, exploring alternatives like Proton, and running my blog via Pika.

One thing that bugged me was continuing to use Google’s hardware via a Pixel phone. While I’ve been running GrapheneOS for well over a year now, it still felt icky.

After a lot of studying, I’ve jumped head first into a Fairphone 6. The problem though is they don’t directly support the US market. However, you can buy the same device for a premium with e /os/ installed here.

I bit the bullet, and snagged the phone and several accessories.
