de-googling your android can be pretty easy and convenient, nothing compared to disabling javascript IMO

    Nah it's really not convenient when it comes to things like banking apps that get fussy about how customised your phone is. It's fine most of the time but you're going to be running into issues at inconvenient times when you don't really have the time to sit and play. Although I'm also talking a couple of years ago now, chances are things have improved.

    disabling javascript

    Yeah you're basically breaking everything. I did this before it was chic when I had a Nokia phone running Opera Mini lmao.

    I don't trust banking apps, and I have absolutely no desire to install software that is so controlling.

    Yeah you're basically breaking everything.

    Sites which are non-functional without javascript are already "broken" in my view. So I simply don't use them.

    I did this before it was chic

    Is it though? Most people tend to try to talk me out of it. There seem to be lots of people who view it as unacceptable, and I've actually been bullied about it on a few occasions by people whom I'd thought were friends. I've learned to be defensive as a result, but that can come across the wrong way sometimes. I'd certainly rather it be chic than what it currently is, though I'm glad the comments in this thread have remained civil and generally positive.

    (I spent a long time typing that last paragraph and debating about whether or not to include it in this comment. Hopefully it's fine.)

    Yeah, even banks are something that's forced onto us, that you actually just can't live without in the current system. I also tried fighting it for a bit but the bank I'm with is trying to eliminate ATMs and making it really difficult to do online banking the old school way. And afaik, other banks are trying to do the same now. Just a matter of time before a vanilla smartphone is as much of a requirement as a bank account itself.

    Yeah I was honestly just making a joke about the chic thing. It's definitely not even close to mainstream. I really love your passion for this though lol. And I agree with the cause. Glad you stuck it out.

    That's a really sad thing for a people to allow to be done to them. Like, idk about other people, but I'm never buying another apple or google product for the rest of my life. I think it'd be really weird if that became a death sentence, in which people like me could no longer access their own money to pay for necessities like food.

    Yeah I was honestly just making a joke about the chic thing.

    Oh I know. I liked that it gave me an excuse to say that stuff in response though, and I was uncertain if I should make such a serious response to a joke. But I went for it cuz why not, lol.

    I really love your passion for this though lol. And I agree with the cause. Glad you stuck it out.

    tyvm for the appreciation 🩷

    Yeah I've been running graphene for years. I can understand how the technically illiterate might have problems on rare occasion. Multiple stores can get confusing. Launchers are a thing. Nevertheless its nothing over the frustration I had previously carrying something I couldn't trust in my pocket.
