This might be what you are looking for.

At this point I am not sure we are talking about the same thing. The picture in the post clearly represents European trams. I have not witnessed one argument with a driver despite using European public transport on a daily basis.

Some dogs love cats too!

You are right, now that I think about it Spotify was only good on macOS and Android for me. The official app wasn't even available for Linux on my platform. And I wasn't able to find all the music I wanted with it anyway, so I might give it a shot, thank you!

Yes, it's this app, I didn't mention it because I wasn't sure if it was the one with the message.

To put it simply, a "custom ROM" in this context means a modified version of Android. Many of these versions are based on AOSP (Android Open-Source Project), which is still maintained by Google, but is in fact open-source and doesn't include Google services. Therefore, there is a possibility to use Android phones (given you have one with unlockable bootloader) without any Google apps or account.

Thanks! I've tried rooted stock for a while, but gave it up because the updates weren't showing up. I didn't know you could use any FOSS solutions to location services, I'll have to research it more. I'll give it a try once I finally decide to unlock the bootloader (I've relocked it afterwards, a big mistake).

If treating users like garbage is one of the features I would much rather use less functional software.

That may be true, I used to be an iPhone Xs user before my Pixel 7, and it used to drive me crazy seeing blue WiFi icon turning white, as opposed to turning the module off completely in the settings, when the icon becomes transparent.

It is nitpicking though, for sure. I have tons of other, more significant complaints about iOS, I was just clarifying what it may have been that the other person was complaining about.

Edit: Moreover, until you deliberately tell your phone to NOT automatically turn on WiFi after an hour or two, it will decide for itself that the time has come and it can drain your battery now.

Can't argue much as a Fedora user myself :)

What I meant was that "they" can not just simply erase "us" from existence once we stop providing them enough value, I believe in a revolution of some kind if such practices were to be tried.

Though I do not believe it would be rational nor beneficial for the elites at the first place, I was just pointing out that there is little chance of that happening.
