it was a losing fight, by covid I switched to iOS when I realized safetynet really messed up with the ability to own your own hardware since banking apps would straight up break if you rooted your phone. at that point I also realized there was less fragmentation with iPhones and had more long term support.
- matheusmoreira 1y agoYeah. What's the point of things like GrapheneOS if using them means we'll be refused service? Remote attestation lets them use cryptography to literally discriminate against us. Not using a corporate pwned machine? Can't log into your bank account. It's beyond stupid. Everything is gonna require this. Banks want it because fraud. Streaming apps want it because copyright infringement. Ordinary apps want it because advertising. If we must be in some walled garden, might as well choose the better kept one instead of the Google nonsense. This is how computing freedom dies. There's absolutely no point to free software if we can't run it.
