How private is a fairphone?

I'm thinking of getting a fairphone in the future. I like that they are modular and last a while. Are they easily customizable to where I can flash a different ROM? Is the default configuration private?

Meta blantantly lying in their new terms of service
  • A screenshot of Instagram's updated terms of service that says "Instead of paying to use Instagram, by using the service covered by these Terms, you acknowledge that we can show you ads that businesses and organizations pay us to promote on and off the Meta Company Products. We use your personal data, such as information about your activity and interests, to show you ads that are more relevant to you.

    We show you relevant and useful ads without telling advertisers who you are. We don't sell your personal data. We allow advertisers to tell us things like their business goal and the kind of audience they want to see their ads. We then show their ad to people who might be interested."

  • Meta blantantly lying in their new terms of service

    I'm impressed at how obvious of a lie this is and how hard they're trying to do mental gymnastics to justify their argument.

    Issues with HDMI output
  • So the xrandr auto command didn't do anything. I downloaded pavucontrol and selected the HDMI configuration. It says that it's plugged in and that audio is playing, but no actual audio plays. Very strange.

  • Issues with HDMI output
  • I mentioned in my post that I use LMDE. There aren't any recent software updates that I recall specifically that did it. The TV does work with other people's laptops in the same port. There's two HDMI ports on the TV and they give the same results. The TV is a dumb TV.

  • Issues with HDMI output

    I have a thinkpad T480 with LMDE and up until about two months ago it would work with this Samsung commercial display TV, although it never played audio from the TV like it was supposed to.

    Now when I plug in the HDMI cable the screen turns black (not blue, which is when there's no signal). If I go into display it shows that the TV is connected.

    I know that this isn't a hardware issue because I've used the same HDMI cable and laptop on a different TV and it worked fine. xrandr also says that HDMI-2 is connected.
