    It would be nice if modern phones let you image the whole disk like you would with a PC. I tire of phone maintenance every time I travel. I like to travel with minimal apps and data in case my phone gets stolen or lost. But I almost wish I could snapshot my phone and apps right after setting everything up and make images for travel and everyday driver use. I think this was possible with root back in the day, but Graphene doesn’t give you root.

      … and after arriving. Have to load a minimal image. So this causes a major tax and inconvenience upon everyone. Tax after tax after tax.

      Those who are a patriot are a curiosity. Their speech can be reduced and measured in whines/hr

      At a certain point spyphones are just an inconvenience.
