Hell yeah.
I am the IT guy in my family, I have a bunch of S7s for the wife and kids with eOS, and everybody is more then happy with them.
I got a fairphone 5 a awhile ago for myself, and while it did cost €600+, I wanted the modularity and reparability, I just wanted to support that type of company and try it out. Hopefully I will have it for 10 years or so.
I made the jump to signal, and those that refused to come with got relegated to SMS.
But it’s not always that easy. Sorry that you have to deal with that BS.
The other comment is great, as a plan B this app is what I use for automating just about anything on android.

It takes a little while to get used to the block programming, but it’s fun and can do lots of stuff. The free version should work fine on an alternate android-based OS, but I haven’t checked myself.
Edit: used to use. I haven’t actually been on stock android for a while, and I haven’t used the app in a while either.
Wow, that’s quite a lot of content to go through. Thanks!
I agree, but I also wonder if the Democratic party can be converted from the inside to change it’s focus.
Probably not. I just winder what the best way forward is. It’s not really clear.
NordVPN works very well for me. I’m coincidentally working on setting up an openVPN with their guide, and so far it has been clear and easy.
Eat the rich. Everything else is a distraction.
I have a Fairphone 5 with eOS, and I’m happy. Their service is painfully slow, but otherwise professional and reliable. You can run into headaches when flashing eOS if you are not super-cautious (dm mefor details if you like), but the instructions are good, and you can also buy various phones direct from Murena with eOS already installed.
By hosting software that helps people communicate about the location and activity of government-sponsored paramilitary groups like ICE.
Hosting media that helps people be self-reliant, like gardening or home-repair guides.
Hosting state-forbidden media like banned books, that help people to be educated, which in turn saves lives by people not being so suscceptable to propaganda.
I suppose I could think of more, but I think those are some of the most clear examples.
