I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.
brute force it with root
you literally cannot prevent root from doing anything.
What happens wen they prevent rꝏting tho ? Samsung already doing it
they can’t prevent it so far. samsungs will just go back to needing root exploits like everyone else before them.
add to the fact they refuse to keep security updating phones for too long.

Then those people don’t deserve freedom anymore.
Don’t cut yourself on that edge.

lmao
This has got to be a satire account right?
probably bot?

Oh yeah, the question was threefold: What are you doing to fight for rights other than acting like an edgelord on the internet so much so that you deserve to say others deserve their rights taken from them? Secondly, do you think that putting pictures of generic attractive gothy women as your profile avatar somehow gives you more street cred among the neckbeards online? Last week your avatar was a different woman entirely. Finally, with how stupid both of those things are, this has to be satire of teenage edgelords, right?

This has gone from silly to straight delusional.
I’m fed up enough to try Ubuntu on my phone. But probably will use a custom ROM. And I will never ever buy a phone that is not confirmed unlocked. I hope others do the same. And I wish the locked phone companies many hours of doom scrolling on their unsalable phones.
I don’t know yet, I’m going to keep track of developments around this and see what the community comes up with. I refuse to be bent over by tech giants.
Already can’t find a phone with the hardware I want. Might as well get an iphone since I won’t be able to do half the shit I want to either way.
get a flip phone
I’ll go back to Ubuntu Touch. I used it a year ago and it wasn’t completely compatible with Fairphone. Now it is.
I moved to GrapheneOS about a month ago, not too long after the announcement. Bought a used Pixel and jumped. TBH moving to Graphene was something I’d considered for a while for privacy reasons but Google gave me that last push.
There are some different ways of doing things but I’ve really enjoyed the transition overall.
Get a pocket pc, probably. And only use the phone for what strictly requires it.
It’ll likely end up being more comfortable from a usability standpoint than it is now anyway.
What are good pocket PCs running linux?
I had a Nokia N900 and now own a Gemini PDA running Sailfish and it is quite nice to have a programmable device wit a physical keyboard (it runs Python, Guile, and cross-compiled Rust CLI programs). A small PC running waydroid would be fantastic.
Keep on using my phone till a good Linux phone or similar releases.
Continue using a custom ROM.
If more brands start locking down their devices I’ll have a conundrum, and it’ll start being about antique hunting. More apps requiring an “approved” OS will also do it, but geopolitics will stop that from going too far in the near future.
I will switch to Android roms that don’t have that defect, and continue to buy and tinker with Linux phones when I can afford it, until they become daily-drivable.
I tried to root an old pixel of mine and soft bricked it somehow and my only other two phones are samsung, so ill have to figure it out as i can and would love a fully linux based device; but im definitely not planning on giving up
LineageOS user here, so nothing will change for me. Perhaps in the long-term Google might kill off AOSP for good, in which case I’ll seriously consider a so-called real Linux device. Cautiously optimistic about the FSF’s Librephone project, which right now is attempting to reverse engineer blobs in Android devices.
I already have a Pinephone sitting around so maybe I’ll re-flash Mobian on it and play around with it. In the long term my ideal distro would be Guix or some Guix derivative.
If we can, donate to the devs. Let’s supercharge the evolution / revolution.
