"Look bro, it's open source, how the FUCK will they restrict Open Source when you can just modify it"
I've got a phone that's not fucked for now. I won't be selling it.
@sendpaws I miss android 2015 when I could do whatever, now i just have to grapheneos and locked bootloader

I find lineageos doesnt feel right for some reason
GrapheneOS with Island or separate user profiles for different services is a way to get around the BS for now. Most banking apps will probably start requiring a "strong" level of Play Integrity though.
@[email protected] may as well just buy an iphone at this point
@sendpaws Google literally be doing the "fuck it *unopens your source*" meme
@sendpaws Android modding used to be done for fun, now you do it to get a phone that won't completely drive you insane with bullshit

@sendpaws oh my god this meme makes me

a) feel fucking old and
b) kinda sad about the state of android, their permanent fight to lock everything down, and googles decision to lock android itself down officially

@sendpaws The Term "Sideloading" belongs into 2025. It's just Installing. "Sideloading" is dictator Google speech! ✊
@monkee @sendpaws
They might as well call flatpak and snap sideloading...
@[email protected] The next Android version will required your ID card. so you can't installing apps from third parties or bootloader unlocking..
@sendpaws android sold me on an iphone 

@sendpaws #WhatsMissing is a widespread #Community - maintained #Fork of #Android.

  • I'm not shure if @LineageOS can do that and I'm confident @GrapheneOS won't because they are a bunch of self-absorbed dipshits with a giant ego and unwillingness to face reality!
@kkarhan @LineageOS @GrapheneOS the only people who fork Android/have their own branch have business sense to do so (FireOS), or using it to run Android apps on other OSes.

@sendpaws I know...

@LineageOS's #fork is used for #Waydroid and #Google does restrict access to Releases to "Partners"...

#grsec #Tivolization #Enshittification #Paywalling #RHEL

@sendpaws This just makes Apple look better in comparison
@sendpaws alongside that, thanks to “Play Integrity” implementation that we are also ruined the whole Android freedom community 
@sendpaws omg clockwork, esfile, cmod, i miss you guys
