The lists of smartphones on the Postmarket OS and UBPorts websites can be used as a basis. Theoretically, you can use for experiments phones that come with alternative firmware directly from the factory. OnePlus, for example. You could buy a Pinephone and experiment with mobile Linux.
Xiaomi Mi10 Lite with stock firmware. Xiaomi QIN22F as a second phone. I’ve tried some third-party Android variations, but none of them, including LineageOS, I liked to use. Or rather I liked LineageOS when it was still CyanogwenMod, and then, as usual, everything went wrong.
A removable battery in the perfect surveillance device? There’s no such thing.
I won’t even respond to your juggling with my words. I’m lazy. You’ll start taking my phrases out of context again and the discussion will devolve into an empty argument. Surely your parents didn’t let you use the internet (if you were born then) when Google turned off all third party apps from the popular Google Talk back then. You probably don’t remember when Facebook and WhatsApp did the same thing. All social networks and messengers are going through this kind of production optimization and no one is making a big deal out of it. And in conclusion: I used fediverse when it was not yet mainstream. And now I have to admire the yelling of Reddit refugees.
I’ll be honest with you. I don’t care about mass upvotes and mass downvotes. These are the weapons of pimply emo leftists, not adults.
I think I saw this photo on Reddit a year ago.
What a horror…
So what? I can open my sub and put Nancy Pelosi’s ass on it.
It all depends on your sense of humor.
No one forces you to pay, ads are easily blocked.
Your acrimonious talk is happening because you realize that Steve Huffman is acting legitimately, but not the way you want him to.
And that no one is going to ask you in this argument.
Maybe 50% of the subs closed, but 50% stayed.
And you’re left in a half-empty Lemmy and jerking off to the fall of Reddit.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you think this is the end of your “journey”?
I prefer Android because we all do not have much choice. Once I preferred Symbian, it was an inconvenient system for advertising salesmen, then there was Windows mobile, I liked it too, but it died quickly. I like the pushbutton phones with proprietary firmware the most, but unfortunately these days it’s hard to live without mobile apps.
Have you heard anything about uBlock origin, Ghostery and similar programs?
