wow this post is going crazy. get a union card and organize your workplace today!
i lowkey wish this worked on here and not just twitter but it's not even an algo dependent thing, its just that the many fediverse things are very bad at showing threads sometimes
@somebody HAHAHAHAHAHA brilliant
@somebody hahaha be gay do crimes
@SuperSluether @somebody is it that much of a crime? it's your phone after all

@me @SuperSluether @somebody

I can't wait until #LinuxPhones are good enough to be mainstream. Unfortunately, they're just not up to par yet.

Google and Apple have a monopoly on mobile phones, and it shows. And then companies like Xiaomi actively make it worse.

If you want to take a look at Linux Phones, I's recommend a secondary phone. Currently, #PostmarketOS and #SailfishOS are the two largest ones, AFAIK

#DeviceOwnership #Android #Fastboot #LinuxMobile

@agender_kiwi @me @SuperSluether @somebody how about e/os/ by murena, that is pre installed on the fairphone. All android apps I use work with it and it is open source, de-googled.
Using it since a couple of days and it feels great!
@Ainar_von_Fieln @agender_kiwi @me @SuperSluether @somebody e/os/ works with android apps because it is android. It is nice to be able to buy a degoogled android device for non technical users though
@me @SuperSluether @somebody no no you see its xaiomi's phone that they graciously let you use

@somebody Unlocking Xiaomi bootloaders is one of the most annoying tasks imaginable.

Good that some people are getting creative.

If somebody buys a phone, they should own it.

@SteffoSpieler @somebody second one the guy fighting him a bit "how dare you take your own device"

"Most security vulnerabilities are just social engineering".

@somebody So are the stores able to avoid Xiaomi community limits on unlocking?
@somebody i love this .. this is hella based lmfao
@somebody it should be mandated by law that there should be options for you to unlock the bootloader and get boot, on android these could be in developer options
@somebody do their stores have the ability to unlock the bootloader differently? Also older models? That seems indeed useful as I tried to help somebody with a locked bootloader and found no way to get it to unlock through the official procedure. Would they not just help you to unlock it if you ask them?
