  • I used LineageOS for a long time on my OnePlus One and moved to iPhone since last year. Tried S24 ultra for a month, but I disliked a lot of things. Now I’m getting fed up with the walled garden and the aas kissing Tim Cook does in the White House. I prefer Chinese phones of American ones. Google is the only issue, but I know my way around Shizuku to uninstall bloatware/spyware from Google. But I’m worried apps like ReVanced, NewPipe and several F-Droid apps won’t work because of this dumb policy.


  • I personally want to keep using ReVanced, Newpipe and a lot of F-Droid apps. I’m just worried in the future it will all be taken away. I have two iPhones now. In the past I used Samsung, but didn’t like the multiple and double of everything. 2 app stores, 2 webbrowsers, 2 note taking apps, 2 mail apps. Some of it was deletable and some wasn’t. I do feel like OnePlus comes with less bloatware.




  • I think they already did something to frustrate forks of Android not too long ago. Not sure what it was exactly, but for new updates developers now have to reverse engineer Google’s updates first before they can update their custom forks… I wish there was a kickstarter or something to create a third OS based on open and fair principles. One that’s actually usable with the most basic apps. I can do most with web apps, but not everything.








  • Why come up with such a dumb example? Any penny that goes to any illegal occupier ends up in the war chest. The bombs and bullets have your name written in blood on them if you support the illegal occupiers of the Palestinian territory in any way. As far as I know, buying from black people doesn’t contribute to the genocide of Palestinian people. It’s used to build and empower communities. So yea it’s dumb, and the previous poster is wrong. Personally I think any boycott should include anything that has Zionist Jews involved. That’s includes movies with an occupier like Gal Gadot.






  • I am using dongles on my 10 year old car and it never failed me once, there are even Bluetooth dongles. You could keep a dongle dedicated for your car and just use that. My sister replaced her car stereo with an Android Auto compatible display and it works great. I don’t disagree that removing the jack as a dumb idea. But you’re giving crap to a company that does 90% great in the hardware department. I’m giving FP a pass and overlook this.
