Huh? I'm fairly sure Lineage does OTAs and has been doing it for a loooong time. And there's other ROMs that have OTAs too.

Doesn't work that way. We should stop attacking each other and start attacking the people actually responsible for this nonsense. Apple both was the first for gluing the phone together and removing the headphone port. Every other device manufacturer follows suit such that people cannot choose. Samsung was publicly mocking Apple for locking the bootloader and guess what? Which Samsung phone can now freely install any operating system? That's right, none of the more modern ones.

Only the new battery initiative from the EU which forces manufacturers to make batteries normally replaceable again, will change that in 2027. Short version is, if there isn't any sort of bigger power forcing them to do something, they will refuse to, as long as screwing you makes more money. And in most cases, it does.

Never seen this before. It is really weird.

I still have my Nexus 7 and use it daily as an eReader.

There are phosh based phones and over time more people will hopefully switch to them, use them, and work on making them better. Phosh-based phones are currently are not as usable as something like GOS, but with Google challenging itself to become more and more enshitified in the interest in marginal tiny profit gains (even if it destroys their brand over the long term) nerds needs to band together prepare for an alternative. Part of this is going to be advocating for Apps that work in Linux mobile Phosh environments and just refusing to use containerized apks and part of it is going to be people doing what they can to support native linux phone apps that work well in Phosh.

Bruh, wtf are we gonna next year once it's fully locked down?

That's also why they tend to have cellular modems that have poor support for US frequencies.

Where is the st. iGNUcius of phones ?

Oh, lol, sorry. My bad.

While you're not wrong there for the best part: Safari does allow extensions, and has done for a few years now. Functionally, I've not noticed much of a difference between Safari and IronFox on my GOS phone.

Yeah, GOS updates itself. I quite often wake up to a notification asking me to restart my phone.

Oof, now that is some stinging truth right there.

At least I had my moment to dream about it yesterday.

When did you last see a queue for a new phone?

Oh, I totally agree, dude! I was thinking the same idea for a while too

• Camera problem – You have the best camera on your device, but sometimes people don't even set the best settings lol. Plus, you've taken tons of photos with your phone camera that you never look at, so what's the point? A small camera is a great idea or polaroid.

• Mp3 - I don't have use Spotify or some streaming music platfrom. Because I listen to specific random songs that's not alwasys available on Spotify etc. So I just download my songs with yt-dlp on mp3 files!

• Portable DVD player - I personally just download my videos (youtubers or movies) and then watch on my phone.

Wait, really??

Reads really nice! Sadly iam not rooted anymore. I got too annoyed about the update procedure of a rooted phone in the last years.

Holy crap that dude aged like milk in 3 years time
