There are android phones outside Google’s garden that will remain outside it’s walls. Apple’s walled garden vs Google’s future wall garden is a false dilemma.

Only if Google makes such sweeping changes to make forward-porting the feature impossible.

Delusional apple fanboy.

I don’t need a my phone to be a ‘flagship’. I am not an influencer. I also wonder what loads are you running on a phone that you meet performance issues.

You can get an android with microSD and 3.5mm jack for 250€.

You can still run all the software you want. Adblockers, torrent clients, emulators, even… browsers! There will still be new android phones that won’t suffer those limitations. They will also be cheaper than iphones.

Don’t get me wrong android is in a bad trajectory, it’s true that’s Google has been enshitificating as much as it can get away with. It’s still light years ahead of iOS.

If anybody cares for privacy or control of their devices, saving Android, even in alternative versions/vendors, is a much more viable option than switching to iPhone.

Developer ID verification will be part of Google Play and won’t be present in GrapheneOS

Straight from the horse’s mouth. The rest of the post is a good reminder that GrapheneOS are morons.

But why would you lie about this?

Because one walled garden does not exist yet. Because it’s possible to get around the proposed walled garden. Because there are android manufacturers that ship phones that are not going to be affected by this.

But no lets just promote the whole iOS and Android are 100% the same (not Apple and Google, those are the same) and give up on fighting those changes.

Let me guess, we’re I Danish (or when this shit spreads to my country) I would have identify my accounts to the government and or corporations.

But if you break the law after on 2026 you don’t get any excuse for not having time to adapt to the new circumstances.

DRM is not free, somebody is getting paid to provide that DRM and they certainly don’t go unpaid if it doesn’t work.

They didn’t kill them all in 1945 you know.

You are going to protest that they 've learned from that. They just learned not to say the word Nazi just like they learned not to oppose Jews instead of opposing genocide.

Why would it be more difficult to maintain and update a complex system?

They don’t have to accept outsider contributions on their mainline nor employ less people to work on it.

You don’t get to redefine open source. It’s always been about giving the source code to whoever you give the software.

Making it publicly available is an acceptable alternative to fulfill that obligation.

Well I had the displeasure of having to use a candybar style phone my mother was using cause it was ‘easier’ for her.

• Ages to write a message
• Very difficult to navigate through very similar SMSs (automated ones like electronic prescriptions) and pick the correct one based on date. Or even get an accurate broader picture of how many SMSs you received and when.
• Did not setup email but I believe it would also be horrendous

But in my case, I disagree with the base premise of this post. The biggest anxiety and distraction caused by my phone is via phone calls. Asynchronous communications like sms and email are much better for me.

Does that work on the Mars colony as well?

So you are saying videogames fixed them?

If it does not require an iPhone yes, side loading is just a few taps away.

But what is this mythical app that needs side loading? There’s matrix apps even on Apple’s app store.

Because it’s unavailable to the vast majority of people?

Yes, you probably haven’t. If an entity or person does not have a presence in a country it should not be subject to those laws. Their home country should reject enforcing any penalties or extraditing their citizen. Of course the US is the most notorious and more successful in getting people that never had any meaningful relation to the US extradited.

I also don’t think the UK or an EU nation’s court should be able to try a case against a US government agency, say the FDA because they do not follow the same standards. Or even against ICE agents because they abduct people.

Democratic countries should be able to have their own laws even if larger countries disagree with them.

Do you seriously think 4chan is in danger of having the fines collected? They are just right wingers trying to spur the US government into blackmailing the UK into changing their laws to align with US sensibilities and ‘values’. Fuck that.

Fuck the censorship but a non-US government should not be tried in a US court.

What do you mean by chat? Because IRC has never been p2p. What existed as p2p 20 years ago and doesn’t today? I think they are all still here. It’s users that turned elsewhere but the p2p networks are still alive and well.
