    I think it’s ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.

      Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.

      As bad as Google is, they’re lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.

          I’ve never investigated for iPhones but would be curious

          1. if they exist
          2. how bloody hard they are to get going

          I can only speak for laptops/desktops and it being a bitch.

          There’s a reason I’m very adamant at hating Apple for a multitude of technical reasons. This is but one of them. It’s a shame too because their build quality is really S-Tier.

      I would get a Nokia flip phone but they cost a bit. Cheaper to get something someone is throwing out
