pHr34kYImagine buying a piece of hardware and actually owning it.
puri.sm
purism is literally a scam company and shouldn’t be promoted
asudoxgrapheneos, calyxos, lineageos, etc.
If these supported phones I actually wanted I’d consider it. Even better if they weren’t a pain in the ass to install.
I recently installed GrapheneOS on a pixel 7 pro. Waaaay easier than lineageOS. As long as you have the drivers installed on your pc and opposable thumbs, it’s a breeze.
Yeah I know, just a matter of a few buttons.
PriorityMotifProblem is that I bought a 5a and had the screen die just out of the extended warranty and they wouldn’t help me out. Giving money to Google is always a mistake, never again.
Not saying people should buy Google phones, but I did replace my 5a’s screen with iFixit’s guide. Took one evening with no prior phone repair expertise.
The screen costs more than the phone is worth, so I didn’t bother with it.
That’s really nice to hear, lineage on a tablet a while back took quite a bit of work to get installed. Nevermind then having to get it able to load apps that needed Google.
Still a bit salty they gave almost no warning before retiring that image though, one month notice that they were getting rid of it was dissapointing to say the least
blah! Android forks!
postmarket os is where it’s at!
or Ubuntu Touch if you’re… that type of person.
Still have to worry about firmware. We don’t own shit.
Imagine buying a piece of hardware knowing full well that doesn’t work the way you want it to and then bitching that it doesn’t work the way you want it to
There are no phone OSes that work the way we want, so we should just never say anything, as consumers?
NobsiLineageOS does pretty well for me. Don’t know what youre talking about.
xigoiBut only supports expensive devices, as far as I’m aware.
lemmesaynope. I used it on my 150$ phone for 5 years!
If you can’t find an OS that works for you between android, iOS, the multitude of custom android roms, symbian, and Manjaro on the pinephone, then I suggest you either stop being so picky or make your own.
Everything we think of as owned is only borrowed from the Earth
You’re going to give it back?
I will be taking my shit to the grave!
Fuck, that’s literally giving it back to the Earth.
I mean, I think it’s a silly point, but yeah, ultimately we’re going to give it all back
HolzkohlenImagine devices you can actually repair yourself. I looked into switching the battery on my phone the other day and in the process it seems I could very easily break my display if I am not SUPER careful. It’s literally easier to swap the display than the battery.
