- aboardRat4 2mo agoEmm.. as if Samsung doesn't..?
- microtonal 2mo agoAh, yes, the Google/Apple narrative of "if we open the ecosystem, all users' data is at risk". Meanwhile, they are the companies that continuously harvest behavioral data from phones, put backdoors for law enforcement through weak defaults (iCloud backups are not E2E encrypted, unless you enable ADP), etc. All this while, GrapheneOS, LineageOS, etc. provide real, provable privacy. Please stop parroting surveillance tech company's narratives.
- aatd86 2mo agoYou didn't get it. I'm talking about fake Android. Not GrapheneOS or similarly a whole other OS that doesn't try to pass as Android.
- InsideOutSanta 2mo agoEveryone who buys an Android phone. This is about the opposite, an option to buy a phone that does not do that.
- aatd86 2mo agoI said bootleg Android didnt I? Are Android phones using mods or a complete revamped version?
- InsideOutSanta 2mo ago"Bootleg" is a meaningless word in this context, so I ignored it. You can't "bootleg" an open-source product; you can only branch it, which is completely legitimate.
- aatd86 2mo agoSo pedantic, you must be fun at parties. Or maybe are you arguing for the sake of arguing? Fake Android if it suits you better.
- InsideOutSanta 2mo agoI'm arguing against the actual point you made. You made the pedantic argument about "bootlegs" to distract from my argument. Now you've also decided to insult me. To what end? Do you think that kind of approach convinces anyone? There is no "fake android," either. Your whole argument is based on two false premises.
- aatd86 2mo agoI din't make an argument about "bootleg", I just used the term and you argued it. Besides, depending on the actual OSI license, you can definitely have bootlegs if you really care to argue. A bootleg does not need to be exploited commercially. It can just be counterfeit. I am not insulting you. I am telling you that you are being overly pedantic while being wrong at the same time. You might find this difficult to accept but I'm just calling it.
- InsideOutSanta 2mo agoYou started arguing about it: > I said bootleg Android didnt I? And you're still doing it. Just let it go. It doesn't matter, your argument is wrong either way. Also, please stop insulting me.
- aatd86 2mo agoYou are just not making any sense. Your very first comment is the one taking offense with the word 'bootleg' erroneously... If your worry is about phone-home, no need to mention Android specifically. This happens with all off the shelf phones. Point is about a phone that has an OS that looks like what you would expect and just doesn't do what you expect. Obviously you didn't understand what I had written so I had to call you on that. You may feel insulted, does not mean that I am insulting you. Anyway, just so that it is clear. Probably should end the conversation here so no one feels insulted any further.
