If you need GrapheneOS, that is right.
But if LineageOS or eOS is sufficient for you, Fairphones are a solid option with long term support.

And in the long run, GrapheneOS might also have to look for other options, as the good developer support for new Pixel devices will not be given any more.

I don’t think fairphones are directly available in the US, but in principle they should work in the local 5G networks without problems.

Pixel’s aven’t the first choice for custom ROMs any more anyway, as Google recently has stopped making the device trees public for developers.
So say hello to Fairphone and similar companies, that are still caring about openess!

One thing is certain:
The day the related news story got viral, champagne corks must have been flying in the marketing department at GrapheneOS…

Well, in my region it typically is already sufficient to look Arabic to become the guest of a “random” police control.

Compared to that, having a closer look at people running GrapheneOS on their phones sounds relatively well-grounded and almost reasonable.
At least not totally crypto-racist (although I have the feeling that still comes on top…)

Thanks!
Turns out that OPs heading is a little bit exaggerated, as nobody is confiscating anything.

I do know, but I also refuse to do OPs work for him.

Would be minimal effort to post a link together with a click-baity (and wrong - nobody is confiscating anything) heading.

What? Sauce?

As others already wrote, the original meaning has been specific to awareness of racial discrimination, later broadened to general discrimination topics.

But that is just the US, and e.g. in Germany these roots (and also the connection to wake/asleep) are mostly missing.

So it is just a normal imported word, with no clear antonym existing.

Also because of this only recent import of the term, it is less connected to its original meaning, but often only associated with a well-intended, but superficial kind of activism.
E.g. it is heavily associated with a generally not very popular over-gendering going on in official and news texts, which leads to a broken kind of the German language. (German is heavily gendered, but a word’s gender often has nothing to do with the sexual gender).

So the term had a somewhat negative connotation to begin with, even in more progressive circles.
Doesn’t hinder the far right from doing anti-woke campaigns nonetheless, wokism is just such a nice (but actually in the broader population none-existent) opponent. And they use the term “Anti-Woke”, because it just makes sense for an imported word.

It is very hard to find something fitting, as the ü-sound doesn’t seem to exist at all in the English language.
Perhaps the nearest I can think of is, if you take the “eo” sound as you speak it in “theorem”, but try to make the “e” noise less high-pitched but make it sound fuller and somewhat deeper.

You are somewhat right, dots appear above a bunch of Spanish (and even some old fashioned English) words, but are not umlauts (which the company claims their ü to be), but have a different function.

What’s a “Claw Plunger Tool”?

Why the hell is there an “Ü” in the name? It is a California based company. No natural occurring umlauts within a 10000km radius.

And also btw:

How do you pronounce it?
The correct pronunciation is “g-oop” and not “g-up”…obey the umlaut.

No, this is totally not the correct pronunciation if you obey the umlaut… 😆

I guess this also must be an additional layer of hellfire for dyslexics…

Do you not tab-complete your commands?

Sure I do (although nowadays Strg-r does most of the heavy lifting for me), but as a decent touch-typist I am often faster directly typing short commands, like passwor… damn, I mean: passwd ;-)

You might be right.
I am German and never had a problem with pwd… The “double-you” certainly breaks some easy phonetic connections you would otherwise just make…

But the only command that I have to look up every damn time, although it has no abbreviation at all, is useradd.
Oh no, wait, I mean adduser!
… No, wait again… aah…

Now this looks like an interesting read. Thanks!

On a side note:
I hate it that the password-change command is minimally abbreviated to “passwd”.
Come on, making it much more complicated to remember and saving just two freakin letters??

Great.
Next stage in the enshitification-process. 😒
