I'm so sick of this. I don't feel like I own my devices anymore.

  Don't worry, you don't. Just wait until they lobby and make it illegal do to do so! This will come under one of the following guises: 1. Save The Children 2. Save The Planet 3. Save the Tax revenue 4. Anti-Terrorism

  Why not buy a phone with known good LineageOS support if you're afraid Google may update your phone? You can audit and compile the entire OS yourself and disable any CA certificates you may dislike.

    Or. Hear me out. Why don't these companies actually give me back the ability to control my devices? Why is the onus on me? Why don't these fuckers do the right thing. So tired of this what-aboutism bullshit.

      You're buying their phones, not the phones of companies that give you full control. Most customers care more about not having to wonder about security than about having the ability to flash a new kernel. Show companies that there's money to be made by buying devices to your liking or you'll be subject to design decisions made for the vast majority of customers. Why should companies care about your specific wishes over everyone else's if you're not putting your money where your mouth is? They exist to make money, they're no government or charity. Everybody has been screaming at Google about how Google can't keep Android up to date since Android 2.1 launched. The geneewl comsensus is that if you wqnt updates and security, you need to buy an iPhone. They're finally fixing this problem but every step along the way the percentage of a percentage complains that they're the victim of Google's conspiracy.
