Android is an os.

What’s the problem?

org.chromium.chrome

com.android.messaging

Idk if I would promote calyxos though, it works, but it’s often buggy for me. I think I’ll go with graphene again, the microg shit is just that…

And mull https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/ Which I think is maintained by divestos, another interesting one, I forget why I didn’t go with them

I like to update both and keep it all synced. What do you use now? I’m probably going to do syncthing

Chromium BASED on chromite, which appears to be actively developed. I use mull which works well. Default SMS is “messaging” app.

Lot of proprietary google stuff in asop, especially binary blobs

I didn’t even know this was a thing, but now I suddenly want to pirate Nintendo games

Certainly not control of information…

Does it auto download then too? I swear I looked all through that app. Couldn’t get KeePass or obsidian to sync automatically

Android actually pushes to folders on server without manually initiating?

Nothing to configure…you specify folders, but they won’t auto upload or download

How much maintenance does a simple SMS app need? What random apps are system apps? Beomite is not installed, not even sure qksms is, but I always use it. Never had a single issue removing any apps. Seems like you’re just very uninformed

True discontinued firmware updates…, but look at the actual threat model. Why is calyx a joke?

What I dont get is why so many years later, their android app still won’t auto sync

Stick divestos or calyxos on that and you’re good for more years

Was the reason I quit my last job.

No, it was a “bug” in windows that existed for way too many years

So essentially it’s highly censored to defederate them. Not only you can’t view them using a different instance and post, but registering there, you can only interact with their instance. Lemmy needs a better method. I was thinking about this the other day, why is something as simple as blocking content on the users end or blocking x type of content not an option, even on registration. Even if there’s hate speech mixed in, freedom of speech should exist, but freedom to not hear it, should also exist. Essentially shadow banning, but done by choice of those who don’t want to hear said content.

Racism, bigotry, and sexism, exist in everyone. Maybe there’s just better ways to express it, or not to. But it’s cultural, people want to be with their culture, their people. When you force people to ‘accept’ everyone, they lose their Identity.

I really don’t think Lemmy will survive as everyone will be afraid of getting cancelled and defederated.
