If they end up blocking f-droid I’m bombing them
They can’t even handle the apps on their store…
So say you want to move to one of these other OS’s graphene or whatever. Do those work with modern banking apps? Pretty much the only reason they haven’t done The switch so far is because Bank of America would tell me to fuck right off as far as I know
I’d go Lineage / Graphene (?) next year
The android dream is over. It was fun while it lasted. My next phone will be linux
This a massive overreach and so stupid when nowadays apple even relaxed their limitations a little, I heard that iOS users don’t need to jailbreak anymore to use outside apps. What will be the point of android?
I don’t know anything about jailbreaking android phones yet, but are there resources for getting into doing this to my current android and taking responsibility for security myself?
So Android is pointless now?
No, really. If I’m gonna be dragged kicking and screaming into the walled garden, why would I go with Google’s joke of an ecosystem instead of much nicer and better integrated Apple garden?I might as well start carrying one of those weird branded ultra-tiny laptops from AliExpress and some used, older iPhone for the 2 apps I need.
Fuck it. Throw out the baby, the bathwater, the bathtub, the whole damn thing. Fuuuuck it.i have a feeling that google largely gave up on making a decent phone for a while, all they want is your data, plus to put thier AI into everything to offset the cost of using AI.
To be fair, they never cared about making a decent phone. They have always just wanted your data. They are a marketing company and you are the product up for sale.
Use alternative ROMs while that’s still an option.
Can we have mainstream Linux phones now. Fairphone is nice
For your security we’re going to block your access to FOSS and apps that let you avoid our ads. This is totally not a business decision. Pinky swear.
and avoid our datamining capabilities, and the intrusive AI we keep pushing on unwanted customers. we knew thier android core app(spyware) was the first step. they probably want that to permanantly installed into everyones phone.
for the greater good
This good is gonna be so great after we lose everything to the worst of us.
How can that be legal?
Because Apple does it
Fuck.
Wasn’t it made illegal on Europe?
they saw how apple is profitable from being completely walled in garden.
Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.
You’re not a fucking airport, Google!
Also we bought and own the fucking plane! Don’t tell us where we can fly to!
Better. We bought the airport. Google was paid to pave the runway and maintain it for a couple years after. And now they try to dictate that only planes they approve may start and land.
While stealing and selling all the data from the passengers.
i dont need to show id to fly domestic…
I thought the EU said that Google and apple have to permit other app stores? If that is the case they’d have to allow side loading in effect.
