Wasn’t this rejected once already? Perhaps if they wanted to do something useful, they should pass something that says that if something is majority disliked twice or something, then it should be withdrawn and not proposed again for at least 100 years.

Good for them. Fuck governmyth overreach

So you mean they want windows to have something that Linux has had for 20 years? Android has also had this since ~2017 too.

That is definitely true. Once the vendor stops putting up those patches, it does become quite problematic. So as long as you keep your Android up to date as best as you can and primarily use open source software and ad blockers, you should be alright in most cases.

That is a good point. I always make sure that my devices can run lineage before buying them because I don’t want to be stuck with a brick.

I think it depends a lot on the app itself. My banking app works perfectly fine, on it with no Google Play services, but I have seen apps that completely will not open at all, except to give an error message, so I know what you mean. That is not specifically a lineage problem as much as its a google play services problem. Yoi can install gapps and those apps will work, but IMO that defeats the point.

Yes. Its basically AOSP (android Open Source Project) with just enough stuff to make the device useable and you have to add everything else on top of it. A lot of custom ROMs use LineageOS as their base and build from that point.

GrapheneOS is a great project. I had a Pixel 3a XL with Graphene on it and it was a good experience

I flash custom ROMs, so get updates pretty frequently, but that is beyond most people’s capabilities, for sure. I currently use the OnePlus Nord N200 which i got new for $250 and installed LineageOS 20 (Android 13) on it. You can still tell it’s a $250 phone compared to like $1000 phones but the differences aren’t noticeable enough to cause me issues and make me want to upgrade.

No, i am saying that even though it is volitile it has people who will use it anyway. I am personally a monero user and i buy some on a monthly basis (id really love to get paid in it) and then pay my bills with it, spend it on things i want, and do it all again next month. I really don’t have to concern myself with the price because i am organically using it and will get more in a few weeks no matter what the price does.

The reason this article exists is because the price as measured in blood money is 26k. If it were 60k a whole different tune would be playing about how great of an idea it was. Actually imo its better now than at its high because moon boys want little to do with it while people who really understand why it exists use it just fine.
