    I finally want to switch to android and boom: Custom ROMs and “sideloading” gets swept off the platter. Well ok I guess I‘ll just wait for a good linux mobile OS

  • Some of these comments are wild.

    The OS should not at all stop me from doing what I want to do. Ever. Not even if that means I can fuck it up.

    They can warn me when I attempt to do things that could fuck shit up. They can make it a bit harder to navigate to certain things so I’m less likely to fuck shit up. But it’s my god damn hardware. I should be able to run and configure the software on it as I see fit.

      But we subsidised the cost of your phone so we could make sweet sweet recurring revenue off your usage habits and targeted advertising!

      You wouldn’t want to take that away from us would you? Won’t SOMEBODY think of the shareholders?!

        I’m getting really sick of products being only available subsidized by a level of invasiveness that should be illegal.

        The government should need an individualized warrant to purchase my data. And honestly Google should need one to collect it
