The experience of using a degoogled phone, both from the AOSP and Linux side of things.
it’s both. a happy coincidence that enforcing security also lets them lock customers in. it’s a common plan that governments share: “we need to collect your data for security”
One degoogled as a daily, one cheap stock for these privacy invading apps. Phone A goes with you, while Phone B stays home and comes out to play only when required. At least, that’s my take.
the biggest problem is banking and government apps that require strong play integrity… this kills the custom rom
If you are technical you could run an android VM at home and then just remote into it when needed
do android VMs pass play integrity? I thought the whole point was to deter bots…
Idk. I thought the whole point was to keep people in the Google ecosystem.

That’s probably the simplest solution. Even though it’s not intellectually satisfying, I don’t think there’s another option at the moment.
Depends on your country .
yeah… stuck with a phone loaded with spyware cus of that :x
i hope jolla and their sailfishos become a viable option in the future
If you’re doing banking on a phone, lol, you’re doing it wrong.
I never thought it was a good idea myself.
it’s unfortunately convenient… like for splitting bills at a restaurant
