The way I understand it is the bootloader is built in security on the soc itself similar to tpm? In some regards phones are safer than computers in this way. If you leave your laptop out someone can tamper with the os, same with an unlocked bootloader. Safe from governments you shouldn’t use a phone if that’s your worry.
I don’t even have a lock on my phone
Well it says next year. And a lot could happen between then and now. Some comments think they will run into anti trust issues trying this.
Well I think we are such a small percentage of users that care that it probably does not matter in the grand scheme. I just got on android in 24’ when rcs started working because my large family network was always worried they would lose communication with me. Because you know the little green text bubble things don’t get pictures and stuff from non iOS… People have no clue and don’t care as long as the phone works to swipe on sorry videos
I don’t have a solution. They also messed up my alarm I heavily rely on. I’m not sure why they get off on messing with stuff. Call also lags when swiped now. Pixel 8 here
Thanks for the explanation. So essentially custom roms with Google play services removed will actually be needed to download to he good apps like new pipe and the like
Makes sense. Is Google play store just apk files as well? I thought there was some other special sauce with it as well besides just running spyware in the background. This all sounds like a good way to get full names for YouTube add less app makers…
I’m not really understanding. I buy a phone. Peter codes and app with foss tools and emails it to me. No copyright or anything bad like a to do app. I want to use said app on my purchased phone. Now Peter will have to show his license and stuff? I guess developers are criminals.
Oh I see someone already made a post. I can’t see how this is enforceable except for highly modifying the OS. It would have to be enforced at the device level correct,?
Good to know. Thankyou! I was so upset a ubuntu update bricked my old MacBook and I bought a new laptop instead of dealing with it.
Hi I just checked it out looks awesome. Unfortunately going down the rabbit hole again is looking less appealing. That’s what I liked about regolith, maybe I’m happy with gnome after reading the hyprland wiki 😅
Don’t you have to download a file manager search application etc? In addition to just the tiler
Well your not wrong a lot of privacy developers get more years than pedos
