>>106477517Google phones peaked with the Nexus phones. Pixels have been a downgrade ever since.

>>106477517>sars android is a very good value>also sars, AMD GPU is good buy!Thanks, but I'm sticking with Apple
>"we're taking away more of your freedom to use APK's an F-droid, it's for your safety.">does nothing to address the metric fuck tons of malware/spyware shit in their own play store which is the real wild west of "bruh wtf are you downing?"Hmmmmmm, curious. So what's their real end goal?
>>106478888Really makes you wonder why the bot here always pushes the idea that Apple users are Indians. Fuckers can’t afford the shit it has never made sense.
And that's a good thing.
>>106478888>AMD GPU is good buy!They have their pros an cons and I personally don't really care much about GayTracing.
>>106479191It's always been cope
Don't care, iPhone still doesn't have a browser with uBlock Origin and Android still does
>>106478832At least we had the choice for longer. iPhone sets those trends to begin with so it's still an Android W.
>>106478888you need to use the 2024 data king
Is there a specific Android version that will add this new requirement? Can you just keep using old versions of Android to maintain to ability to sideload in the short term?
>>106479180>So what's their real end goal?Hegemonic control.
>>106480290Please pin this good post at the top of the thread.
>>106480290You are delusional if you think that is going to last for much longer.

>>106479180How do they combat this without the new policy?
>>106477517>Can unlock the bootloader>Install lineageOS>???>???>Profit?
>>106477517>make a new thread>nothing relevant to say about the topicHate to see it

>>106482009That's not even remotely as good as ublock origin, enjoy waiting days for a new youtube blocklist, garbage.
>>106477805Interesting. So what exactly isn't 'pajeet' according to you?
>>106480290I use a DNS on Android, works fine and I'm sure it works fine on IOS too
>>106477517I've been using a pixel 6 pro since it was released and thinking about upgrading soon. After these changes I'm probably just going to buy an iphone 17 when it comes out.
>>106481563Ironically by copying Apple, not so much their shitty locked down ecosystem but by adopting Apple's standards and peer reviewing an culling all the slop made in New Deli.>>106481566>>Can unlock the bootloaderNot if you own a Samsung, expect others to copy their shitty policies.>>Install lineageOSOh I don't think Google will ever fully remove that ability (any time soon) they'll just nullify the desire to for the average consumer by slowly turning Android as a whole into a closed source OS and essentially lock third party developers out of major security updates and vulnerability patches and it will slowly evolve into it's own ecosystem entirely compared to stock Android that you'll see more differences than similarities. And at that point you might as well just buy a LinuxPhone (non Android phone) because non the the benefits of running Android in the first place will be available anymore outside of running LoonixTroons6969_MinimalistCalculator and playing some old games on it.Google is going for a slowly boil the frog to death a approach, I pray that Jeet hubris will cause them to just outright go bankrupt and become little more than a zombie corporation like Yahoo but I think we're a long ways away from that actually happening.>>106483172>Interesting. So what exactly isn't 'pajeet' according to you?Not him but anything made in Japan, Malaysia, China, or Taiwan (China minus communism) is a good start.
>>106484585>by adopting Apple's standards and peer reviewing an culling all the slopThat's the thing, they can't really do that without requiring ALL software ran on Android to be reviewed, hence why they're essentially getting rid of the ability to load APKs in the first place. I think this is one of the rare cases where they're actually doing something with good intentions in mind but the short-term effects less so harms the consumer and more so just pisses them off. I just hope mihon devs (The only APK only app I currently give a shit about) start gearing up for this so that their app is actually usable.
