    yeah, i’ll get around to it someday, either through buying something like a pinephone or just acquiring an android phone and fucking around with it, though i think most android phones are rather boring so who knows how long that will take lol.

        it’s not even that, i’m just not motivated to do anything about it because of how much i fucking hate it.

        There will probably be a pretty significant period of my life where i simply do not own a phone.

          Well, if you want to try that, I recommend getting the Cheo gram data plan that charges you $7 per gigabyte, but otherwise doesn’t charge you at all and only cost $5 a year. If you combine that with the Rethink VPN manager, these are all open source tools, by the way, then you can easily shut off everything on mobile data that would consume more than a couple megabytes per month.

          So, a year ago when we last spoke, a lot of the Google escalation hadn’t happened yet. Now you literally need to do this kind of graphene OS shit to your phone. If you want to be able to install any cool open source apps, so Game Over my dude. I’m not happy either.
