It’s 2025 already?
Shit, I overslept again.
Wake me up when this eternal September ends

Now I got that Pink Floyd song in my head
Because Google and Samsung are rich and powerful.
On android you also have Shizuku and Canta.
I think you just do adb commands without a computer
That probably makes more sense
Thanks for the Canta recommendation!
I just run ADB.
I just install LineageOS. It doesn’t have any bloatware or Android modifications that the manufacturer added
GrapheneOS > LineageOS, but unfortunately the list of supported devices is even smaller.
I like what GrapheneOS is doing, but it’s focused on having the absolute best security rather than supporting a lot of phones. If you aren’t wanted by three letter agencies then LineageOS is good enough

Keep in mind, you don’t have to be an activist or journalist to get targeted with sophisticated spyware. This very recent Lemmy post is a great example: https://slrpnk.net/post/15858999
And I can immediately say goodbye to important apps I need.
I’m so fracking tired of not being able to just use the OS 😞 want on my phone because apparently my phone isn’t mine.
What does this have to do with GrapheneOS (compared to Lineage)? Did you reply to the wrong comment?
This is from some post where authy, revolut, and a bunch of other apps no longer permit Graphene OS
I thought it is still 2024
You think the problem will go away this month?
Of course not! But it doesn’t go away even in 2026 and I wouldn’t write that in the article.
I don’t even pay any attention. I boot the phone for the very first time, go through the setup thing, and click no to as many things as possible, get into the home screen, open settings, open developer settings, turn on USB debugging, and turn the phone off and install lineage OS with no Google apps.
Shizuku + canta and you can forget about bloatware
Worthless article. But the point is valid…
I’m switching to FairPhone as soon as my current phone dies. https://www.fairphone.com/

They bought it…
Not my problem if someone doesn’t read the tiniest bit about a $600+ product before purchase.
I haven’t considered Google android as usable for like a decade, went down the custom ROM route and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done when it comes to mobile use.
Being able to install what ever operating system I want is a hard make or break for me when it comes to purchases ever since.
I don’t miss Android lol
What do you use?
GrapheneOS and iOS
GrapheneOS is Android
With out bloatware and proprietary Google stuff though
Id argue Android is GrapheneOS.
