sorry, what ?

No problem Margot Robbie

i see. i bought my phone second hand, so google isnt getting money from the sale, but i can see the problem with every user relying on the same phone manufacturer

thats scary

genius

can it be re-locked? i may be wrong, btw. this is just what ive heard.

ok, sure, but the 4th is basically a rephrasing of the 2nd… close enough

at least its CC :)

yeah but they are closing the ones near me :(

genuinely curious; can u elaborate on the deal with google?

thats fair. device support is a major downside of GOS. but, remember: its not really the fault of the OS, as it requires a lockable/unlockable bootloader, which only pixel phones provide (at least in terms of mainstream phones). blame the OEMs like samsung

i would not be surprised. i will have to try

wait really? :/

thats why i said ‘consider’, not ‘definitely use’

the device support is a security limitation, with pixel phones being one of the only phones that support bootloader locking/unlocking. dont blame GOS, blame hardware manufacturers.

grapheneos is not for everyone, but it is CERTAINLY worth looking into, especially if you already jabe a pixel or are getting a new phone anyway.

any degoogled rom is better than stock android. (im not just here to shill GOS, i simply prefer it)

obligatory ‘consider grapheneos’

what are you describing here? are the files located in a shared location (eg. your default Music folder), and you cant delete them using another app?

if you dont mind me asking, which banking app do you use? have you checked out the privsec.dev compatibility report?

i may be wrong, but i believe you can still use autocorrect with GBoard, and even disable network for it

i, for one, only have good things to say about it, EXCEPT device support (which is not GOS’s fault)

the ease of the web installer is underrated.

if u install aurora store and login anonymously, this should prevent google knowing what apps you installed

if you install gboard and disable network access, it cant do anything spooky… although i would personally recommend florisboard or openboard

the ‘simple’ apps have been forked, so maybe try that

cool. i will still use fira code, but it may be a nicer default alternative to courier new
