No, no, Fuck You, no!!
I will have no phone that employs "Counterfeit Conciousness" to listen to every fucking word of every fucking conversation leading to (among others):
Fuck right off with this.
This solidifies for me I will never own a Pixel phone.
And, if this becomes ubiquitous in Android, I'll have to rethink that, too.
Doesn't mean I'll necessarily go to iOS; more likely completely rethink having a phone at all.
Fuck Google entirely. Don't be Evil my ass.
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
Additionally, just fucking stop scammers from using fucking gift cards.
Surely it's not that hard to detect that a gift card sold in Australia is being activated in Russia.
The gift card people have absolutely no motivation to fix this problem. They are making bank.
They need to be given motivation, through legal obligation.
Sounds like a pixel phone is exactly what u want just u want GrapheneOS on it.
Never recc that again, Linux phone or nothing
Bro what's wrong with GrapheneOS?
Linux phones don't really exist as a practical thing you can replace android with.
Fuck Android. Run Calyx or Graphene. it's not difficult for any PC enthusiast.
unfortunately both of those have a very small list of supported devices.
This ☝️, which nobody tells you, and then about 20 other things nobody tells you except that one Indian vlogger who installs everything on everything.
TL;DW - if you have a relatively recent Pixel, you’re probably good. Everything else, get out the forum posts, an old POS windows box you don’t mind trashing and start finding out what doesn’t work. You might get some Samsung to mostly work ok.
And next phone same person buys is the latest same pay by installments piece of lock downed shit hardware. And continue to complain on lack of support for shitty hardware, shitty firmware and shitty software. Stop buying shit , custom roms have been around since android 1.1 . GOS and Calyx aren't recent inventions either.
Lineage official supports a fuckton of devices as well. Including every single pixel made. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ So quite well documented.
Can't back up everything on my phone without root and cant root without wiping the phone so..
How have you managed to save things on your phone you cannot back up without root?
You're just straight fucked if this is true. Don't save permanent things to your phone. Your phone is transient. Phones are not permanent.
edit: so the "phone shit is permanent" crew came out early on this one? Bruh, your phone can be taken from you in an instant. It's transient.
Still based on garbage android. Android is just shit pilled on shit.
Linux can't manage the cellphone blobs yet. I'll be using linux on a phone when it works well.
So, it's on device, which negates many of the above worries. Does that change things? I'm all good with private AI, personally. Slippery slope and all, though...
