  • I want a world in which corporations are scared to release anti-consumer products because they know it’ll tank their income.

    I wish. Celebrating customers getting shafted seems counterproductive though. In reality, companies aren’t afraid of making anti-consumer products. Regulation can keep them in check and consumers sure as hell won’t.

    There’s stuff like graphene or other open source OS’s - installing graphene is literally connecting your phone to a PC and opening a website, something even a chimp can do.

    I know, I run a custom rom too. I also know that custom roms are still Android, meaning they aren’t safe. What do they do when Google makes some restrictive bullshit change again, for example to the android API? Fork it and become incompatible with apps meant for stock android?

    Nobody is affected … except apple users

    Yes they are. All large companies are constantly looking for more things they can get away with and are ratcheting towards user hostility.

    When the non-hostile options are gone, or reduced to a few crappy ones, the educated consumer is fucked. Because what else are they gonna do, not buy a phone? How is a chimp gonna install Graphene when unlocked bootloaders are extinct?
