  • Call me ignorant, if this happened and it brought a new golden era of modding (1.7.10 style) where everyone’s playing the same version I’d be maybe the happiest player ever.
    Modders backporting content is nothing new, hell, they even brought the mobs that didn’t make the cut from those stupid mob votes to life.
    Let modding become the new updates, fuck it. At this point they’d likely be better realised than Microsoft’s efforts.








  • I loved it, fight me.
    And I think they way they integrate the Window Controls and App Menu on the top bar is still the best implementation out there.
    Kinda makes me wanna puke how we went from merging stuff together for space saving to Gnome making titlebars thick as all hell even when there’s no buttons on them, and that utterly useless “Application” dropdown on the left side of the topbar 🤢











  • The solution is making noise. Talking to your local regulators, making them know this is an issue worth looking into.
    The solution is pushing your government to do their fucking job and regulate these companies so they can’t take blatant anti-costumer measures.

    I’m not saying GrapheneOS isn’t a solution, it absolutely is, what I’m saying is that it isn’t the be-all and end-all, nor is it available for everybody, and coming into the comments to say “just buy a pixel duh” is smug as shit, and also missing the forest for the trees.
    The solution is stopping Google from rolling out this change so everybody can enjoy the increased privacy sideloaded, FOSS apps bring, not just Graphene users.

    Hell, Graphene themselves are suffering from Google’s fuckery in relation to security patches and AOSP. (Image, Original Link)
    Getting Google in a big antitrust lawsuit so they’ll stop being actively hostile to projects built on top of Android would be very beneficial to Graphene, don’t you think?


    Wanna talk demoralizing? How about hearing “just buy a pixel and install GOS” on every thread on this topic completely ignoring whole countries where this isn’t exactly feasible?
    And when you try to point that out you get the most dismissive answer ever completely ignoring import taxes and a zillion other factors that make even used Pixels cost more than brand new phones that are head and shoulders above them specs wise?

    Demoralizing you? Be so for real dude. You really think I’m part of a psyop trying to make you give up your OS? Rest easy, I won’t reach thru the screen and snatch your phone.
    Just know Graphene needs no negative marketing. If every user walks around talking like this about the project they’ll have plenty already.
