A nonprofit with a vetting process and weekly meetings is way too complex and/or serious for me. But good luck anyway.

Dear GrapheneOS or Linux, please create a usable phone ASAP. They are all crazy. Sincerely.

You have the wrong paramter buddy.

Google Android, no. Custom ROM, yes.

His point is simple enough that you should understand. Use your brain.

Same question. It’s weird and instantly recognizable. I guess training data but I have never seen a real explanation about that.

I buy all my games on GOG and I don’t understand either.

It seems that you can use an official emulator: https://developer.android.com/training/cars/testing/dhu

$25? lol no, my next phone fill be either Linux or a flip phone.

IIRC Tic-80 is the open-source version.

And we have to pay for this? I thought it would be free. What a scam.

I have bought them so many times… But it makes me want to play it again with Dolphin.

Oh wow, I didn’t knew that Super Mario or Tetris on the NES was an “incredibly exclusionary space” because that’s not how I remember it.

I’m glad you taught me that.

Where are the sources? All I see is binary files.

Sideloading with a central authority is not sideloading.

What’s wrong about:

Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers

we’re working on a separate type of Android Developer Console account

I don’t want to suck Google’s dick and create a Google account to send my applications to people who want to sideload them.

You were confidently wrong about me being a regular user. Nice try though.

Yes, that’s why I would need an account.

Source: Google themselves.

I don’t have a Google account and i don’t want one. It’s a sideloading ban.

I’ll stay on GrapheneOS as long as possible. And if it stops, I’ll get a Linux phone.

For the past 10 years (or so), reddit and lemmy users have been complaining about the updates on their Google or Samsung phones, which confirms that they use the pre-installed OS and don’t even think about switching to another OS.

I got one a few months ago. I guess the updates will stay for the next 5/7 years (shitty guess) as long as GrapheneOS stays on Android 15, but my next phone will not be a Pixel if Google does shit like that.

Google just lost themselves 900€

I bought a cheap Pixel 8a, no need to pay the full price unless you need big emulators.

The FairPhone is expensive and I’m not sure it can run Android Auto properly. If I can’t run my own OS anymore, Android will be an ugly aldernative to the iPhone and I’d have to go back to iOS, it’s absolutely stupid from Google to do this.

I don’t know yet. I have a 8a and its good so far like my previous iPhone. With GrapheneOS i can prevent most applications from running in the background which is better.

No replaceable battery but any cheap Pixel with GrapheneOS. It’s secure, no Google by default, has the most standard UI possible, and Android Auto works great. This combo is the iPhone of Android IMHO. Some applications may not work for some reason but I haven’t met those yet.

I usually buy cases from Spigen but that’s just my opinion.

How is it in any way legal?
