  Absolutely, Google can kill off Android by making it a walled garden, like iOS, but worse. We’ll see what the Motorola GOS device will be like.

  I can definitely go back to tethered Linux WiFi tablet. Maybe something chinese, based on RISCV.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android: sideloading blocked and open source updates withheld to twice a year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve moved from Android to CyanogenMod, then Lineage OS, and now Graphene OS. I have zero interest in a proprietary, locked down platform.

  If they really want me to use a Linux tablet, I will.

  Problem is, this isn’t even wrong. Electricity is only useful for some things.

  Another unfortunate thing: current renewable infrastructure cannot be built without fossil fuels we’re in the process of running out of.

  The rms approach looks better and better.

  Ironfox works fine for me.

  You can also just access cell infra operator log. I can imagine they have a realtime API.

  Fortunately, you can punch them in the face to provide some badly needed attitude adjustment.

  Sufficiently advanced automation is indistinguishable from consumers.

  You can use Signal on a Linux system or a Google-free tablet. I use LineageOS and GrapheneOS on my smartphones and WiFi tablets. Obviously, I’m not a normal user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GrapheneOS Under Threat: EU Age Verification And Google Changes Endanger Privacy-Focused Android⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These are all no necessities whete I sit. I use TAN generators for banking. I use Signal and Matrix for messaging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GrapheneOS Under Threat: EU Age Verification And Google Changes Endanger Privacy-Focused Android⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No maybe about that. A MiFi router and a tablet would be a workaround. If they outlaw general computers that would be it, no more computers for me.
