Bruh screw android and its updates, it fucked up and it keeps getting worse, its updates are very occasional, at least if they were worthy then fine i'm with ya, but no, they are just junk, they slow down my phone and are many times buggy; it keep restricting users and developers under the term of 'security', go fuck ur security, I know what I'm doing, either gimme full control over my property or fuck off. This is MA phone NOT urs!

When I get a new phone, I'll either find a way to get an old android version like v10, or just find another system.

Is 2026 going to be the year of the Linux handheld? /s

(No, Android is no more a Linux OS than the PlayStation is a BSD fork.)

[-] unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth 5 points 2 weeks ago

I highly doubt 2026 will be the year of the Linux handheld. But if Linux on the desktop continues growing the way it currently is, it could lay the groundwork for Linux on handhelds.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Realistically, I don't think any year will be the year when Linux for mobile takes off, ironically for the same reason why Windows Phone failed, and that is app availability, or the "will my banking app work on it?" problem.

I'm not going to spend good money on another Android phone and because of this. I used to be willing to tolerate it to some extent but I'm done now. Any further Android devices are going to be low-end burner phones for a specific needs that I can't meet otherwise. Having a Linux phone is now a matter of necessity not something that would be nice to have

What kind of apps are there that "typically" need to be installed "urgently"? Sure I can work around the delay most of the time (and be at worst annoyed out of my brain by it) but that's not how a user experience is meant to be designed, is it?

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago

Anything I want right now that Google is blocking me from is urgent.

How long am I supposed to beg to use my own device?

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm with you, I'm questioning the wording in the OP's picture.

[-] hdsrob@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

For a couple of years we directly loaded our app onto dedicated devices that we deployed to client locations. Adding an extra day to this process would require some extra work / planning.

This is for an app that isn't on the Play Store, and many of these devices don't have GMS, or a store or browser on them.

We've since moved entirely to an MDM, so this isn't really an issue anymore, but we do occasionally run into a device that's not yet been enrolled and still uses the manual installation

Putting barriers is a systemic disadvantage and we're right to criticize it, especially since once they establish the president that they're allowed to do this they can go farther. That always happens and every time you're told you're being ridiculous stop overreacting

I'm throwing my phone into the sea the moment it tells me I'm not allowed to do something.

[-] unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth 11 points 2 weeks ago

Hate to break it to you, but this is just the next assfucking in a long line of assfuckings. Your phone already won't let you:

Unlock the bootloader without wiping all the data on your phone (or some won't let you unlock it at all)
Run "sensitive" apps if you have the audacity to run code that isn't approved by the manufacturer
Have admin or root rights to the phone you fucking bought and paid for without it marking your phone as "insecure"

I mean, maybe, hopefully, this will finally be the assfucking that wakes us the fuck up.

The last one is probably true, though. Most Android users don't care about sideloading. Those who are being pressured to do so will face the 24 hour lock.

On the other hand, I'm an iPhone user who knows Android as well as anyone. So if I were to pick up, say a Pixel 11 Pro or a Galaxy S27 (so, looking at next year's lineup), the first thing I'm gonna do is hit that developer option to enable sideloading. I know where it is. I know how to unlock it. And I know the risks. In the meantime I'm gonna set up Nova Prime, I'm gonna put Poweramp on it, I'm gonna be setting up KLCK and KLWP (and maybe KWGT) and all the other apps. By the time I need to sideload anything, I'll have the important stuff out of the way and shouldn't have to wait that long.

In the meantime I’m gonna set up Nova Prime

This means though that now the important stuff HAS to come from the play store or you have a 24-hour penalty every time you get a new phone.

He very technicaly speaking is correct. Pepole are dumb as bricks when it comes to technology.

[-] dorumon@lemmy.cafe 6 points 2 weeks ago

Remind me why the fuck I removed Google Play Services from my Motorola here and replaced them with microG because of a maps app that needed it? Oh it's because of this.... Yeah. Lol.

[-] vathecka@lemmy.radio 3 points 2 weeks ago

Literally why would I not just buy an iphone if google goes through with disabling sideloading

Tap for spoiler

Yes I call it side loading and I will continue to because its just what its called when you install through means outside of an official repo. using this term is not an acvnowledgement of any vind of illegitimacy of this process.
