the whole drama with those privacy android roms is pretty much turning me away from using them tbh

@mikoto Of course its graphene again. Nope I will stay clear of that. They never really supported any of my phones anyway so akko_shrug

I'm just gonna use the stock rom until support is dropped and then I'll probably use lineage

@getimiskon @mikoto i mean lineage os is fine

graphene os devs were at each other's throat at some point

@NeonPurpleStar @getimiskon I don't really see lineage as a "privacy" rom anyways, which in this case is probably a good thing

@NeonPurpleStar compared to MIUI, it's better, but to me, the last few versions of LOS feel much more restricted than they used to, probably because of google's fuckery.

@mikoto pretty much one of the reasons that keeps me getting closer to an iphone, for better or worse

the android modding community is basically on life support these days and this sort of thing doesn't help that perception

@mikoto @getimiskon i had bought a fairphone phones preflashed with the e OS thing from this french company and i never bothered doing anything on my on own for mobile software

if the vendor wants to sabotage the shit out of something, i am not going to waste my time

the phone market is just evil

@NeonPurpleStar i'll be honest, i would consider getting a fairphone device, but unfortunately, they dropped features i personally use, like the headphone jack (i listen to music a lot, not dropping that)

@mikoto @stefan what's going on over there? I'm not seeing anything noteworthy

@mikoto Thats what I am doing right now with my Fairphone 3+ Lineage is fine most of the time. Not the most data friendly or privacy-protecting. But better than a stock-rom that does not get any updates.

@novenary Tbh Was in the same camp with the jack by now I like my bluetooth thingies. The FP3 still has the jack, but it does work only in a really weird with Marshall Major IV I have. (other phones were fine, did change the jack to no avail).

The cans don't have ANC so battery lasts for very long while for me...

I get though why one would not wanna drop the jack.
