  Additionally, just fucking stop scammers from using fucking gift cards.

  Surely it’s not that hard to detect that a gift card sold in Australia is being activated in Russia.

    The gift card people have absolutely no motivation to fix this problem. They are making bank.

      They need to be given motivation, through legal obligation.

  This solidifies for me I will never own a Pixel phone.

  Sounds like a pixel phone is exactly what u want just u want GrapheneOS on it.

    Never recc that again, Linux phone or nothing

      Linux phones don’t really exist as a practical thing you can replace android with.

        Fxtec pro comes loaded with the users choice of android, Ubuntu touch, sailfish or lineage. Choices exist. Though I’ll have to find a bank that has a working app or a good website

  Fuck Android. Run Calyx or Graphene. it’s not difficult for any PC enthusiast.

  • desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    unfortunately both of those have a very small list of supported devices.

      This ☝️, which nobody tells you, and then about 20 other things nobody tells you except that one Indian vlogger who installs everything on everything.

      TL;DW - if you have a relatively recent Pixel, you’re probably good. Everything else, get out the forum posts, an old POS windows box you don’t mind trashing and start finding out what doesn’t work. You might get some Samsung to mostly work ok.

        And next phone same person buys is the latest same pay by installments price of lock down shit hardware. And continue to complain on lack of support on shitty hardware. Stop buy shit , custom roms have been around since android 1.1 and GOS and Calyx aren’t recent inventions either.

      yeah, it’s all about individual priorities

    Can’t back up everything on my phone without root and cant root without wiping the phone so…

    source

    • rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      How have you managed to save things on your phone you cannot back up without root?

      You’re just straight fucked if this is true.

    Still based on garbage android. Android is just shit pilled on shit.

      Linux can’t manage the cellphone blobs yet. I’ll be using linux on a phone when it works well.

      source
• UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  I mean, I would own a pixel phone… with linux on it…

  We got baited by piece of shit journos

  It’s a local model. It doesn’t send data over.

  If they want call data they can buy it straight from service providers anyway

    It’s an official announcement written by Google.

  Pixel is the only device that is supported by GrapheneOS (sadly), so you can own Pixel just for installing grapheneOS on it.

  Since it’s processed on device they don’t (necessarily) need to transmit and store your conversations in some central location. I guess theoretically this could be done in a secure way.

  Counterfeit consciousness

  I like that

  So, it’s on device, which ch negates many of the above worries. Does that change things? I’m all good with private AI, personally. Slippery slope and all, though…

  Doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily go to iOS; more likely completely rethink having a phone at all.

  Man cuts off nose to spite face; news at 11
