Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software

  You always have a choice. You can ditch your morals entirely, give up, be subservient to the capitalists and give your identity over fully to the system like the good little consumer slave you are and enjoy your normie life looking at your normie phone and toss us all out as tinfoil-hatted weirdos who almost convinced you to make your life worse for the sake of self-sufficiency, independence and privacy.

    Oh yes I forgot that pointing out the flaws in privacy-related things, so people who are interested in switching know what they’re potentially getting in to, is a big NoNo here…all hail the perfect FOSS which can do no wrong.

      Privacy and security just doesn’t mean as much to you as usability and connectivity. There’s nothing really wrong with that if you’re ok with accepting it.

        Yup, privacy (and many other things) should be done to ones ability and not to ability of others.

    Dead Kennedys were prophetic when they named one of their albums “Give me convenience or give me death”.

  Honestly, smart phones being less useful in daily life is probably a good thing.

  Having not used default Android for many years now, what makes GrapheneOS worse (aside from a few apps not working - which isn’t an issue I’ve had, fortunately)?

    GrapheneOS is not worse than other custom ROMs, never said it was. it’s a mediocre experience best described with a “meh…” and a shrug.

      Sorry, I was asking about GrapheneOS vs stock Android. I assumed that your comments on it were in comparison to stock Android since that’s what the previous user most likely was asking for.

        The answer is the same, very average.
