This is the route I went years ago. Not only do i not feel like lugging around an obnoxiously long buttonless 1kg remote control, within two months the display will be shattered because I sneezed, and I will have to buy a new one because replacing the screen costs as much as a new phone.
I know they do that shit by design. Why would the back side of the phone need to be made of fucking glass? It's literally the only reason I ever buy new phones, the screen is the only thing that ever breaks, and they never survive long enough to be "too old" to use.
None of those have worked for me on Android since a couple of months.
Firefox with uBlock Origin is the last bastion, and don't think that's not on their radar.
My suspicion is that the main purpose of Googles decision is to stop F-Droid and Aurora Store from working.
"No" is what I would prefer to say but for some reason "that is extremely unlikely" hits the point home harder.
You can research a phone you like and check if it has an unlockable bootloader, root it, and install something like LineageOS on it. It's fairly straight-forward, not super technically demanding, but it does require some tinkering and time setting up.
xdaforums.com is where the rooting kids hang out, post guides for specific models, upload images et c, you can probably do it in an afternoon with GPT.
The issue is that some apps, notably banking and official type apps, usually don't work as they rely on google services for operation. I solve it by having a cheap secondary phone that I only use for that stuff.
Oh, I almost forgot: FUCK YOU GOOGLE
He inherited that quagmire of illegal wars, it's not something you can just withdraw from at the drop of a hat. It was either drones or boots on the ground, not exactly a stellar choice to be left with, and he chose to minimize American lives lost. Most certainly not defending any of America's vile military engagements but the picture is a little bit more nuanced than that.
Already sent all the redshirts to their deaths they are the only crew left on the ship at this point
It's syphilis and has been for decades. The face paint, the patchy hair loss, the bruises and blemishes, the cognitive decline. He's like a modern version of French 18th century aristocracy with the wigs and the thick coating of scar concealing makeup.
I would love to save the world from ecological collapse, but not if I have to pay for it in any way shape of form whatsoever!
Well, they claim capitalism is the best driver there is for invention, so this should be sorted before Wednesday!
The only thing missing is a period.
