Isn't this the same with Android phones and google accounts?
Or iphones and icloud accounts?
Like android had custom roms without google, i guess this open the path to roms without fb?
I think no can disagree that this is at least a step in the right direction
- GekkePrutser 5y agoOn an Android phone you don't have to sign in with a Google account. I do this on my OnePlus, I install apps through F-Droid and Aurora store to try to preserve some shred of privacy while not being too feature limited. In particular google push messages still work. I also kick unwanted system apps off with ADB. It's a compromise compared to a really clean ROM but it's possible. It's not possible to use a Quest without an account.
- pedrosorio 5y ago> On an Android phone you don't have to sign in with a Google account. What about a Pixel phone?
- GekkePrutser 5y agoNo idea, I've never used one. But I don't think it would be required either. But on those there are some particularly excellent custom ROM offerings, like CalyxOS and GrapheneOS. I was thinking of buying a pixel 4a just for that purpose yesterday with the google day discount but in the end I cancelled it :) As I already have a decent phone.
