I personally think this might be a "vote with your vallet" situation. Signaling to Google (and to other manufacturers) that people appreciate openness in their smartphones. Knowing Google though, it's unlikely they will get it.
Read Only Memory
Which is completely intentional.
Oops. Sorry mate. I'll edit that out now.
That was a good read. Albeit a bit "heroic" (sorry if that sounds weird English is not my native language).
I personally think Elon Musk acquiring Twitter and turning into X (a.k.a Elon's Ego Masturbation center) was pretty good for us.
If a person carries their trash with them until they stumble upon a trash bin they instantly have a plus in my book.
I personally use Phonograph Plus although it has it's own share of issues. The best one in my opinion was Vinyl Music Player but it had some issues with SD cards.
Yes I do have a brother. I like him even though he's not exactly a bright person.
But I wouldn't classify this as a "complex". Perhaps I should have explained it further. When I meet a new person, let's say I saw them in a hallway and decided to talk and vice versa, I talk about philosophy, books, art, humanity's issues etc. (Not pretending to know about those) But after we split and see each other again, I talk about stupid/pointless stuff. Such as "If I were a tree I would drop my apples on random people's heads"
I never bring up philosophy and stuff unless they bring it up or there is something around us that reminds me of it.
Which is why it's optional I suppose.
I don't know if this qualifies (probably doesn't) but When I meet a new person, I like to act like a smart guy at first and then act like a moron afterwards. It feels nice for some reason.
The lesser of two evils is Android as it's like they put closed-source software on top of open source software (see AOSP) whereas on iPhone it's all closed.
I suggest you look up "Microsoft Halloween Documents". They DO NOT see Linux as their friend.
