I give up. I'm moving to iphone. I've been using Android for 16 years and I'm finally tired Boss. There is just too much bad android news stories to count. See you later space cowboys.
Apple still a lot worse and has a far more closed environment, sadly android is headed in that direction too
Graphene
Looking forward to seeing what comes next for them. Nice platform.
Not a solution. Apple is just as evil and their design and interface is horrible.
I mean iphone definitely has ai tracking everything you do, even when you keep the phone in your pocket, so i don't think that would help you in anyway
You are right. The lack of true completely functional alternatives is part of the sad state of mobile OS decay we are suffering. I had already abandoned Nova launcher for Lawnchair last year. This entire android ecosystem is just less functional everyday and it's Google's design. I don't have a good solution and it's quite frankly embarrassing to be defending this OS as a solution anymore. The team over at GrapheneOS seems to be the one of the only teams who haven't lost the plot. The team over at FUTO has a good thing going (I use the FUTO keyboard). I will continue to support them and their endeavors, I just can't buy yet another pixel.
FUTO is kinda shady
Fucking Curtis Yarvin everytime... Jfkm
I mean yeah pixel is like the most expensive enshittified android you can buy
And the solution is iOS...?
The solution is moving to a cabin in the woods with a Nokia 8210. I'm not read for that (yet).
