Good for you, I was also doing it when I was a kid. Actually was even cooking roms and removing everything that I didn't need. Then I got my first banking app and was decompiling it on each new version, removing checks for root, "

In your given scenario (no Google Services, no microG), compatibility is the issue. I dont use Android because I like it. I use it because I am forced to use it, without it I cant connect to corporate VPN, cant even take public transport (a

There is no alternative. /e/ and others dont even come close. Security is one thing, the privacy they(GrapheneOS) provide is another. You can have privacy without every detail of security they require. While they refuse to provide

This went far enough. I have stated my thoughts, if the view doesn't change, GrapheneOS will continue to sell Pixels (lol, SAMSUNGS! Still rather buy them than Pixel) and I will be forced to buy them. >Please consider the level of r

Sure they have a mission. But sometimes mission can be done by taking 1 step back to later make 2 steps forward in fast pace. At the end all profit. While in current state, the culprit, Google profits. And please keep fallacies like "d

This is the whole point, they should stop nitpicking and start to do it (GrapheneOS side), even if it is not going to be THE most secure phone, there is enough of features that are far more useful then just security (like privacy). I don&#x

I am still waiting for Fairphone and Graphene OS collaboration. This is match made in heaven. Any Fairphone/GrapheneOS developer reading this? Just do it, document if something is not secure enough for you, but do it. Nothing to think

Very nice, will use it on my child, but this doesn't cover my case. I have it as a wallet (those flip cases) so it is always with me. But it can stay in backpack for days without using it, except maybe for calls (to talk with parents a

It worked until now for, what, 20 years? And it worked very well, check Google stock. Don't be afraid, they have calculated people not paying into the strategy. And it wont stop working because you wont pay Google extra money. But it w

Sure I do, by suckers watching ads, like it always was. The whole thing about Google is that they are not software company (as people like to falsely believe), they are advertising company, financing everything else from ads. Including sear

Ok, I wanted to avoid it, but since you didnt understand, paper straws are just straw men. They have absolutely nothing with voting with wallet, it is just some lame scenario, comparable at nothing and kicked instead of the real thing. Or s

No, it is much simpler. Success of a company is not limited on constant growth of profit but rather of providing to workers and owners a normal life. And in our case, it is paid in current model (actually even in model with less ads). It do

How did it work until now? Anyway, we both know that care for "creators" is "think of the children" thing, but I will play along: pay them using patreon (or, I have bought this: https://theduranshop.com/t

But you don't need to drop a service. You can keep it as good as it is. You just don't reward google predatory tactics by paying, as you are literally making YT worse.

Are they paid now? What are you fixing by paying, if nothing is broken (yet)?

It is not, but discipline is needed instead consumerism. And every half intelligent marketing guy will make it harder than to just pay. Paper straws you mentioned are just paper straws. Splitting should happen 10 years ago. I doubt it wil

Looks like it worked and it works, without any changes, while the number of views is keeping their earnings to small group that will not increase as there is not infinite number of time to watch the movies. And dont "creators" me.

No, the alternative is that you DONT pay. That you deliberately not do what is the easiest move(1) and on top of that even feel special for doing it. That you suffer a short time for better next. That you fight them with technical means.

We will see how prepared you will be to pay, where each of creators you watch will be on different network and you will have to pay for each network $10/month, while you watch 20 creators. Again, this is nothing new. It already happene

Yep, you were a test project. Will people pay for free content or punish them by leaving the platform. And will they start to pay if you increase number of ads. Now they moved to next stage. Anyway, not there yet. Frog is boiled slowly, slo

There is no if. This is how corporate greed works. What will happen is, that content creators will spread to different providers, that also have managers and stockholders/owners. Look what Netflix was like and how many various payable

You lose on long run. In few years, you will pay more and still watch ads while YT will no longer be free. (let me remind you of video streaming services) Managers want their rewards that are tied to earnings and stockholders want to earn m

People dont understand how world works. Management reward are tied to earning more money. As long this is true, the next year, the reward will be tied to earning even more. The more you pay, the more it will cost. And when people wont be pr

Such high profile target without security patches for system and probably outdated pkgs/ports for at least 3 years, I am actually surprised they survived that long.
