Looking forward to watching! Been running it for a couple weeks and just loving it, especially the battery Iife.
Thank you Ben!
Sounds like a great operating system. Maybe I should try it...
Nice one. Being google free is awesome
Best educator in the BTC space. I always send the no coiners and new coiners over to BTC Sessions YouTube.
How about connecting a working LN-address, which will enable plebs to zap you freedom money?


Exactly people need!
Well done Ben!!!
Keep going with this excellent job!
Make, not only Bitcoin, but all daily life more cypherpunk again!
How is loading Google Play anything and uploading the video to YouTube ditching Google?
Looks like you have an Odysee channel, but you haven't uploaded there for 5 years.

Odysee
BTC Sessions
Ben is host of the BTC Sessions - Canada's most popular YouTube Bitcoin educator. Since 2016 Ben has amassed a following of 30,000 subscribers...
Less traffic I supposed on Odysee.
At this point, maybe people will need to learn Linux next once they start de-Googling, de-Appling, de-Microsofting, etc.
I use Linux and Graphene to get away from the commercial and proprietary AI slop.
Graphene is fine for those in first world, but for those with tiny salaries in poor countries consider lineageOS and iodΓ©OS. Plus it's always good to save some sats.
Will take a look!
Excellent!
Well done. I find it ironic that you need a google pixel to be able to ditch google.
Can't wait to watch it before you get de-platformed again...
man, i've tried at least 4 times over the last handful of years to move from an iphone to a graphene pixel and just can't do it. longest i lasted was 3 days once, but it simply isn't up to the task imo.
particularly if you want to run an app like mysudo to give you access to multiple numbers, if you want to use apple/google pay for credit card privacy from merchants, and if you want decent hardware (i used up to a pixel 8 which was shit, terrible battery life and terrible fingerprint reader)
now i daily drive an iphone but use it in the most minimalist way possible:
The New Oil | Mobile: Settings
Data is the new oil
BTC maxis and their credit cards and iphones.
Lol!
did you read the part about mysudo not working?
i feel that improves my privacy pretty dramatically by being able to use 9 different numbers to segregate who has what phone number for me.
also having to type in my pin in public constantly because the fingerprint reader is absolute shit is another security flaw. the number of cameras everywhere, they'll definitely get your unlock pin if you're typing it in public
Excited to watch! π

In your last video you've said, that you have to use btc core. Just adjust the datacarriersize to 42. And when version 30 will be released you can do it changing it in the config file. Maybe a good short tutorial for your next video. You could also ad how to change the knits version to a listening node. My settings for example are. Outgoing peer connections: clear nodes, tor nodes, i2p and all clear nodes via tor. Incoming peer connection: tor, i2p. Max peer connections: 32. It depends of your internet bandwidth.
Just installedd Graphene OS flawlessly following @npub1rxys...hnp8 's great tutorial.
