Why not just cuss around children and teach them when it’s appropriate? I’ve never understood “shielding” them from something they’ll get exposed to with or without you. May as well make it a teaching moment.

I’m still rocking a pixel 6 pro, and don’t intend on upgrading this year; however, as a pixel nerd, I am curious about how the new phone is holding up? Has there been any noticeable improvements or compromises compared to your last...
I’m thinking of switching to graphene OS on my 6 Pro, did you lose any functionality you regret? Losing NFC is the biggest downside I see, but I’ll survive that. Anything else?
