If you’re ready to break free of Android, I would recommend https://postmarketos.org/ though it only works well on a small (but growing!) number of devices.

imho if you want to (or must) run Android and have (or don’t mind getting) a Pixel, Graphene is an OK choice, but CalyxOS is good too and runs on a few more devices.

i guess maybe if you’re using a device with a tiny screen and a lemmy client that doesn’t let you zoom in on images

It’s literally a covert project funded by google to both sell pixels and harvest data of “privooocy” minded users. It seems to be working well.

you don’t see any downside to nuclear escalation?

It only became legal in New York in 2022. Perhaps today most people in the US do live in states where it is legal, but that doesn’t mean they live near a theater that actually does it. This article from a year ago says the largest chain, AMC, has a bar in the lobby of 300 (of their 593 in the US, according to wikipedia) locations but that some of them don’t let you bring a beer into the theater. The second-largest chain, Regal Cinemas, was only serving alcohol in 80 of their 511 locations as of last year.

Meanwhile, people at many/most movie theaters in the US:
