Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 16 hours agoSo… we are nearly there but unless you have a very VERY minimum usage of your phone, basically a dumb phone with a bit of CLI to remote connect to your own server from time to time, it’s probably not practical for now.
…and, that’s me.
I gave up on my phones. There’s no way to remain connected to the modern world and my own without just keeping everything off of my phone and using it entirely in stock NPC mode. Trackers? Adware? Malware? Doesn’t matter, I only use it for calls, banking apps and cash apps. How do I access my personal, more 1337 haxxor shit?
Laptop. I’m back in 2007, baby! We’re carrying messenger bags! We don’t care!

Unfortunately that’s prevents from switching to Linux proper over (hopefully deGoogled) Android.

You just need a window into their world.
Carry your Linux phone and tether it to an old android, install what you need and turn it off.
When I was 19, we all carried cameras and mp3 players around too. It’s hardly a stretch.
