> Come on. Go back to a flip phone, or make your own smartphone ecosystem. The entitlement is outrageous.
This response is unreasonable. If I'm purchasing a piece of hardware, it's not outrageous that I want to be able to compile and run software on it without asking for permission. Suggesting that I instead create my own smartphone ecosystem is absurd.
>it’s the one you chose by giving up your autonomy.
You are advocating for giving up autonomy. The people you are replying to are advocating the opposite.
>Don’t like it? Don’t by the phone. Genz mentality-
Oblig OK Boomer. "Dont you dare complain about big corporation, just uh go without, or buy a dumb phone, or just run all your calls through some Cellular enabled raspberry pi" Why would you defend some massive corporation crushing freedom. Shouldnt you at least beg google for some money.
>You could force Droid to reverse policy by not using it, but you’ll bend the knee and whine because you need your TikTok.
Spoken like someone who has already bent the knee, and is somehow critically damaged by people discussing methods to avoid bending the knee.
That’s exactly my point. You want it done the way you want it, and complain you want more. Seriously, the entitlement. It’s like this because you chose this path. DOn’t use the phone and they’ll change course. But you whine and whine and use it anyway. It’s your fault.
>Come on. Go back to a flip phone, or make your own smartphone ecosystem. The entitlement is outrageous.
No it isn't. It's perfectly reasonable. It's my device, bought with my money, earned on my time. I didn't agree to a social contract. I bought a tool. And you're a fool if you think
>but it's the current year!
is an argument. This isn't happening because the technological cosmos demands it. It's happening because google is winding up for a monopolistic hold of the market. They seek to manipulate it for their private benefit at the expense of everyone else. If they actually push through with this, they will be broken up.

These were also years in the real world.

What? How does it being later in time justify OS vendors shipping malware?
Just build your own smartphone empire lol

"Don't use the phone."
Let me just give up on banking and the proprietary 2FA app that my job requires. Guess we're going homeless to protest Google, boys.
The wild west is on the play store and the app store right now, Google and Apple get most of their money from casino game apps stealing from users.
And both companies don't do anything about it because they are loaded with money from those scams.
Give me a break, it's never been about security.
