My panties just dropped

Edit: I’m not a girl, just a rust dev

install Pokémon Go

allow all permissions

Does all that and still used WhatsApp lol

I hate phones so much.

It's honestly such a pain in the ass to say no to everything Google shoves down your throat these days. And even after you say no it will remind you every so many days just in case you changed your mind after the 15th time you said no. Android used to be the "cool" phone but nowadays if you don't install your own custom ROM it's basically just Apple with extra steps

Every DRM related app afterwards: WARNING! This phone is running insecure software and is incompatible with this service.

And before you tell me just to not use Netflix on my phone, I'm talking about a government app that lets me authenticate and without which I can't read official messages or login to any government or banking service.

So if I want to survive as an adult Dane, I pretty much have to figure out which company I would like to get sodomized by, and which is less of a clingy little bitch afterwards.

Fake: Anon can do any of this

Gay: Bought a samsung phone

P.S the kids have been raving about this phone just reduces all those steps to "buy phone".

The wonders of a device that doesnt support graphene os. Must suck

If I'm not mistaken, Anon's Phone will still communicate with Google services for location services and push notifications after this.

I'd love to degoogle and debullshit my phone but then I need the back app... I'd like to tap with my phone to pay, and that won't be allowed because we can have nice things.

I'd like to use a host of other apps I won't be able to use anymore...

Any solution that allows me to just use a nice phone with all the features?

very based.

For me it just :

• root it with magisk
• install adguard + adaway + blocker + LuckyPatcher + LSPOSED
• add custom filter to adguard & adaway like HAGEZI, 1Host, Cubic, StevenBlack
• Tweak adguard so it always run on startup, using DNS Bootstrap/Falback, enable AntiDPI, etc...
• Install LSPOSED Modules like HideMyAppList, Disable Target API Block, Let Me Downgrade, BOOTLOADERSPOOFER, etc...
• Set Blocker mode to package manager
• Disable any SDK/Tracker inside any apps with Blocker
• Install magisk module like PIFork, ZygiskNext, Shamiko, etc
• Reboot my phone
• Tweak any LSPOSED Module so i can use any mobile banking apps or apps that stop working if phone rooted
• Reboot again
• Check play integrity fix & disable play protect
• ??????
• PROFIT....

And then anon still walks around with a beacon in their pocket

... and then hope that you don't get hardware issue warranty claim denied because of the software.

I like that in this scenario they still have to install Whatsapp to be able to phone on the phone.

Frankly, my stance to this is to just do what's convenient and deal with the rest. For big, meaningful change you need regulation, not user behavior.
