I hear you. And yes lol. The banking-apps. That won’t work if I root my device “for security reasons!” but still demand to be installed on a fucking MOBILE device that gets lost or stolen. No bank ever made an app for the PC. Oh right, you should just use the browser there like an adult.

But yes, the choice between horrible corporate shit and semi-functional foss is hard. Lemmy really is the exception as all those apps are still nicer than the reddit official one. Minus everything bad.

Phones will be hard to switch though. Let alone for a great camera, which I highly favour most in a phone. I actually don’t care to make a call with them, they’re on DND 24/7 anyway. But those Linux phones I’ve checked all have horrible cams (and all other stats like an OLED) yet still cost a decent sum for feeling like it’s 2002. But I seriously can’t use stupid android anymore the second google kills side loading. I have many self made apps and would never ever make a legit google ACC with my real data and even pay to be “verified” for “security reasons” (so tired of hearing that argument for everything bad) Let alone rooting. That’s the absolute least I demand from a phone. To be MINE. That I can make backups from without googles silly cloudshit.

But they will do it anyway. This way or another, sooner or later. Like Samsung became the crapple of android, they want android itself to be like crapple. I hate the corporate world…
