Oh my God thank you. What the hell happened to our hacker community? Why has it rolled over and taken this bs? Where is cyanogen when we need him most?

We have graphene and lineage and mobile Linux
It’s just your bank and mobile providers apps won’t work on those, and you kind of need their shitty in app 2fa these days.

I use lineage. The second image is highly accurate

Actually that’s slightly outdated news, GrapheneOS does have compatibility with quite a few banking apps now (they even have a community supported list on their site, and I’m using mine rn on Graphene)

My banking app worked with waydroid on linux

He is she now. And CyanogenMod lives on through LineageOS.

Lineage is nothing compared to cyanogen

Back in the day, men who shaved would use a cutthroat razor that would last for decades. Eventually, a capitalist started giving safety razors away for free, knowing folks would end up paying much more in the long run when they brought new blades year after year...
Similar maketing.
Godort@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Having experience with both, I can tell you that a safety razor is way easier to use than a straight razor, and gets you the same result in half the time.
DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 month ago
lol! I stole my father's straight razor and used it for a while. I never learned how to keep it sharp, so I abandoned it for plastic ones. Currently using an old fashioned, double edged safety razor. The best option imho.
tehmics@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Now safety razors are actually the massive innovation of convenience, accessibility and low cost. While the industry moved onto cramming more and more redundant blades into their proprietary plastic cartridges while charing a 2000% markup.
I don’t know how that analogy extends to phones but I’m not looking forward to that inevitable future.

Also safety razors are recyclable. Those plastic cartridges, since plastics and metals have to be separated, aren’t recyclable.

I like to think that the next generation will go back to desk top computers and landline phones.

We knew in 2015 what the end-game was, absolutely clear.

I remember when I bricked my Note3 because I wanted the Note8 DarkLord firmware. That thing was called a PHABLET back in the days! It was like a folding phone, but a single piece! And nowadays it‘s smaller than a regular iPhone

This is 100% how I feel. I started with Samsung back in 12-14’ and now I can’t do shit without breaking things. Google had now become Apple with their phone environment or are walking close to the same line.
Nikls94@lemmy.world 1 month ago
And Apple is implementing stuff that Android deleted years ago, like a seperate screen for all apps installed

A/B partitions are an improvement.

Whilst true, it can also be a hassle when trying to install a custom rom
Fuckswearwords@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Can’t even customize a lot of things anymore. You like pure black as in #000000. Google says fuck you. You want to know what time it is to the second. Google says fuck you. Want to control your notification LED. Google says fuck you. Want to prevent apps from being purged from the memory. Google says fuck you. I genuinely hope something else comes along soon. And no I don’t want Apple, they’re even worse than Google.

I remember when Android was about an open ecosystem full of various phone providers and choice.
Now it’s basically
Fucking lame

Dozens more if you include the (arguably better) Chinese variants

There are a few usable linux phones you can look into, but they do come with drawbacks.
