I respect people's right to use apple products, but please stop asserting "privacy", big corps doesn't give a shit.

Comparatively they are better. Its a duopoly in terms of mobile OSs and one is made by a company who mines data and sells ads as its core. The other sells hardware and subscriptions.

I use linux and I wish for a full featured marketable linux phone someday that can compete but with privacy they absolutely beat google.

I have never owned an iphone amd I am currently debating on getting a pixel to move to gOS.

Can I use my work shit on a Linux phone or custom Rom. Also what are my hardware options with those.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 minutes ago

Isn't work supposed to provide you with a phone?

I’d LOVE to know how many of the comments here were made on an iPhone.

The dropped Chromecast for a new device. I was sideloading apps on that. I wonder how long before we have a "fix"

It's really funny seeing people who defend capitalism trying to avoid capitalism problems with individual actions instead of organizing themselves and fighting for the interest of their own class

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 hours ago

Thia guy i know to a tee. He'll defend capitalism to the death and say how the left is evil and anarchy capitalism is the only way.

Idiot. And he pitches about everything in life capitalism causes. I point this out and he says well yeah but thats just bad capitalism not good capitalism. Also he loves fElon, so there's that.

Yeah, I use lineage with microg..and it's been tough.. I had to deal with several government apps in order to start a new job and guess what? None of them work..I had to use my wife's phone to get my new ID.. I'm a teacher and I have to use government apps to deal with student's absences..that Does not work either..basically anything that relys on Brazilian government app to authenticate something is not going to work. I tried to use the website..guess again..it does not work! One can't export an ID from the website..I had been dealing with banking apps without much trouble..but this ID thing is terrible! How come you can only do stuff using an app and not using the website!?

Don't feel bad. Nothing wrong with using an iPhone if you need to. The custom ROM world is janky at best, and it even requires two devices at some point.

I'm so glad someone else is seeing this.

Watching people say "I'll just use an iphone because android is too locked down" really reinforces my opinion of the average person.

Listen. I’ll be the first to pirate and the first to ditch giving companies like Amazon or Google my money.

But I draw the line at my phone. I tried GrapheneOS and had so many issues with things like banking that it’s just not viable for most people.

I love my iPhone for what I use it for and it works as intended. I listened to yall and removed windows for Linux and that was a shit show too. Nvidia drivers ugh. WiFi just stopping etc. easier to use windows to load the one app of stream I use and do some dev work.

I understand. When my Win10 PC was approaching End Of Life, I switched to Linux instead of buying a new computer. I’m fairly familiar with Linux since all my servers are Debian, and it’s been great. I tried three distros and they all were unstable due to my hardware. When I asked what I should do, I was told I should buy a new computer that was compatible with Linux. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m using Ubuntu now on that computer, and it’s more stable, but I’ve still had to use a boot drive to roll back TimeShift after a hard crash.

And this is my man issue. Time. Time is precious and I don’t want headaches where I don’t need them. That is phone and pc.

Sure I’ll make life harder and more expensive by not shopping at massive companies. Or not using Netflix or Disney so I have to shop elsewhere and build a media server, on Linux, but most people just want to turn on a pc open stream and play Factorio.
