I've used GrapheneOS on a Pixel 3A for a year or so, I'll be honest
It was a fuckin' pain.
MicroG is not a usable replacement for GPlay Services at all. Push notifs randomly stopped working, various mapping apps wouldn't work. Food delivery apps crashed a ton if they ever did work. Some open source alternatives were a lot better than GPlay Service requiring apps, some were pathetically worse.
Like, as a handheld device that could use a web browser, it was fine. But as a smartphone that you expect to work when you need it day to day, no, no, god no. By the end of it I was using two phones, one of them a stock android device and the Pixel 3A, and I wondered why I was even bothering.
I can't blame MicroG for this, its maintained by 1 guy and Google's APIs are huge and everything uses them.
But I'm also never going to use an Android phone without Google Play Services again. Oh sorry gang, I didn't get your messages because the IM app failed to send push notifs for 3 days. I don't like Google, but I don't like broken phones more than I don't like Google.
most US dems have the stance of "compromise at all costs" which always just means the conservatives get what they want.
US dems are just conservatives with people pleaser syndrome.
