Hostage permissions

This is why I really like grapheneos. They've created scoped permissions, so the operating system tells the application Yes you can see this thing, but it's empty. Right now they've implemented scoped storage, and scoped contacts. So if it tries to extort you to see your entire contact list you can limit it to an empty list, a very limited list, or everything if you don't care

Sadly Is pixel only... right?

Yup

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yea, but it's a good phone to target, Pixels are one of the few remaining manufacturers that freely let you unlock the BL and probably one of the last that is carried by nearly all major US carriers. OnePlus used to be another but iirc they've stopped selling on all carriers stores

Yes yes yes, you can buy any frequency-compatible phone you'd like from like Amazon, AliExpress, Best Buy, manufacturer store etc but that's an expensive option for many as you have to front the entire purchase price with little exception.

So if you want a BL unlockable phone, purchased through a carrier to take advantage of the reduced financial load of payments instead of all up front, in the US...it's pretty much just Pixels

I was interested because everyone keeps talking about it and I wanted to try it myself but it's compatible only with pixels. I have a Samsung and I changed phone recently so I'm not going to buy it again. I don't want to spend 600+ for a new phone + 2/300? (100?) for the buds but my next phone will be a pixel🤔

Oof, yea Samshits are the worst of the worst. They're actively hostile to those who would dare want to use their phone how they see fit.

Even if the stars align and people are able to breakthrough the BL lockdown, Samshit phones are designed to blow an efuse and permanently lock the phone to 80% battery capacity just for a big ol fuck you

Never EVER buy Samshit phones if you can help it

Consider pixelfed, the fediverse alternative to Instagram

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

The official app won't work with my instance (pixey.org). Pixeldroid does through

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I really like pixelfed, but it replaces what instagram was a decade ago, not what instagram is now.

Pixelfed is amazing for sharing photography type photos.

Instagram is now a photo sharing, video sharing, tiktok doomscrolling, messaging service, noticeboard in one.

I used to love Instagram 5-10 years ago. I despise today’s Instagram.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

As an amateur photographer, I'm still hoping for a Flickr resurgence. Instagram is so restrictive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I left it about two years ago. The tiktok style short videos are way too fucking addictive and bring near zero value to my day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I installed it earlier this year on android. But it wouldn't let me sign in or browse without syncing my contacts from my phone.

So I uninstalled it.

That is the healthy choice
