I’m hoping it’ll be like with the desktop ecosystem – as the mainstream mobile OSes enshittify, more people (and developers) will be driven to use (and contribute to) the linux alt.

Sure, but someone will without a doubt add the functionality. They always do. Seems to be the case with anything linux.

Without a doubt. That’s pretty minor, considering I don’t think I’ve ever adjusted call volume in my life.

Like desktop level. Password protected. Encryption would be nice. As for reliability, I’m willing to put up with slowdown, waiting up to a minute to open apps, and maybe 2 hard crashes a day, if it means I get a fully free phone, or at least as close to it as we get now.

I like Graphene, but I’m at the point where I would put up with less security for more freedom – I just wouldn’t put anything actually sensitive on my phone.

It’s kind of silly that my phone should be an everything-device.

Or really, I just do my banking on the laptop.

Can’t you use a browser for banking? That’s what I do.

Nice.

I demand a reremake

Wrapped plastic - not fantastic.

Everything’s got that wet toy sheen. Wow, so realistic. Much specular.

I wish more people would. I think it’s ridiculous that we’ve put up with buying all these tools and appliances that come with ads like pimples all over. Pisses me right off.

Welcome, sibling

Just put a lil bit o’ tape over it. I’m actually insane and put tape over most of the logos around my house hahahah

If you have any power at all, complying with the blatant fascist is treason. You know what happens next. Think of all the people who have virtually no power, who can be beaten, imprisoned, deported, without consequence. Chuds like Zuckerberg and Gates pave the way for that. They have enough money and power to insulate themselves.

Even fucking Musk parted company with the ghoul emperor. Imagine having less spine than someone who bought a social media platform so people would stop making fun of him (didn’t work, obv).

Thank you jerk face!!

Thanks for sharing, this is a better write-up than I would’ve done.

But yeah it really sucks because from the outside Bandcamp looks like a great “light touch” platform, but the truth is sadly much more cynical and anti-democratic.

I buy on Bandcamp Fridays, but am suspicious of that platform since they changed owners so often without any input from the community or musicians.

I’m keeping my eye on https://subvert.fm/ as a hopefully more democratic option.

Go baaaack

Oh nvm it’s still dead

Please I am begging, make this one about indigeneity and colonialism
