> God, I hate techno-solutionism.

I don't hate it nearly as much as this weird genre of accelerationism where any attempt to improve one's immediate circumstances is just a distraction from the real work that needs to be done.

		There's no risk of bricking a device by using the official GrapheneOS web installer and it takes 10 minutes. Devices can also be purchased with GrapheneOS installed. Aside from that, GrapheneOS isn't read-only memory firmware and that incorrect term should be avoided since it propagates misconceptions.

This.

I looked at this headline and I thought to myself, that I couldn't think of a stupider solution or a dumber sales pitch than "hey DV victims! use this complex gadget!"

No. I mean, come on. This is the sort of thing where people read a poster in the ladies' room and then they carefully plan a discreet exit from their life of abuse. These are very low-tech escapes. They involve packing your necessities and slipping out while your abuser's not watching.

And yes, the social safety nets, and the institutional protections, are the operational needs here. No gadgets, please.

		Domestic abuse victim still need to call their workplace, childcare, manage bank account, pay bills. They have grandparents they contact, they have acquitances and friends. Otherwise said, live. The discret exist where you leave everything behind is the most disasterous situation to be in.
