Android phones are not locked down, at least not nearly to the same degree as iOS devices. I can pretty much do anything I want with my phone.
As long as i can still buy a general-purpose computer for $200 that can do/run anything I want, or pay for processor cycles like a utility like I can with AWS, this will seem like computing purist's paranoia. It's a lot like Stallman's regular speechifying, when it strikes me that while he's not completely wrong, he's not really right either.
- noir_lord 13y ago> I can pretty much do anything I want with my phone. The use of the word pretty contradicts your assertion that they are not locked down.
- Aqueous 13y agoOk, by default I can do pretty much everything I want, and with a little work I can do everything I want.
- rmk2 13y agoI don't know about you, but I had to void my warranty in order to be able to use adblocking, proxy servers and run a ssh server on my phone. I would hardly call that "not locked down".
