If a woman is that shallow and materialistic then the guy is dodging a bullet. Anyhow, it’s a weird thing to say since “android phone” could mean literally anything from a basic $100 smartphone all the way up to a $50,000 Vertu diamond and white alligator skin. i.e. it could mean the guy is sensible with his money or even more shallow and materialistic than the girl could ever dream to be.
Could mean that he enjoys a near complete lack of privacy, likes to use a samsung web browser, has his life assfucked by Google, likes shovelware, or wants a phone that only gets updates for 3 years. I’d be suspicious too.
Yeah…
Or it could be the complete opposite of all that.
Android / AOSP comes in many flavours from Swiss cheese give your life away security to locked down more than any apple device could be.
IOS only comes in 1 flavour.
Something on par with iOS for usability and security.
And as virtuous as everyone claims iOS and Apple are for security they really aren’t that great.
It’s clear you’ve drunk the koolaid so I won’t waste my time further.
Lineage is not about providing a google free version of Android. It does not contain google apps, for licensing reasons, probably also to let the user choose. But it does not go further, all the other stuff like captive portal check, agps, dns etc still uses google servers. It’s not “degoogled” in any way. Love lineage btw but we need to be aware of what it is and isn’t.
Would graphene OS be the answer here then? I’ve been looking around for my new phone lately as I’m trying to do the same. Would it be possible to de-google lineage OS manually or is it just better to pick another OS? Sorry for the questions but I don’t really know where the FOSS android communities are yet so I don’t know where to look for the answers.
LMAO iPhones have those problems but like 10x as much, just replace Google&Samsung with Apple. Imagine not being able to download or use anything that isn’t approved by big daddy Apple.

Which flavor do you think your average muppet is using?

I just want to be able to access files on my media server without having to pay 10$ for an app.
