Me discussing buying a car has convinced my mother to finally go grapheneOS (lemmy.world)

So I am recently looking up the options to buy a new EV and, clearly, I've been discussing it with my family and close friends.

There was one constant tho, anytime we ended up discussing it, THEIR phones would light up with a plethora of Car adverts.

This has made my mother snap, she has told me she wants to buy the same phone as mine and I've finally been able to discuss with her other ways these devices are made to work for the manufacturer, not their buyers.

So far so good! I personally can't wait to setup the GrapheneOS phone for her.

Don't be sorry. I used to correct people thinking English wasn't the native tongue, thinking perhaps people may appreciate it. Most don't.

I'm sorry you're suffering mh issues and hope you are able to find an expedient, affordable, effective way to address your health. Unfortunately, doing your own legwork until you stumble on something that works for you. And don't be surprised if proven methods make you feel worse at first, because sitting with really uncomfortable feelings long enough to process them, usually multiple times (because healing isn't linear) is part and parcel of a long, tedious process that actually works. The intricate trick is figuring out if feeling worse is because it's working or because it's exacerbating. Daunting and frustrating, but I'm not going to lie to you about it; but it is so worth it, if you can tolerate it.
