I think when I need to change phones I am gonna put graphene on my new device but as of now I am running a galaxy s21+ that has had software purged and swapped to the point of being as Foss as I can make it as of now

I was about to suggest the same thing

I am probably gonna go with either graphene or a Linux phone next because of google doing their stupid shit as always

I may try and get a cheap phone to put some alt android ROMs on and test or maybe a Linux os but some of my favorite apps are android exclusive so I am probably gonna stick with a modded android system Either lineage, /e or graphene

I use it but just barely because it is better than things like discord for mildly sensitive stuff

They aren’t bug free but that is the same as closed source and requiring open source would prevent malicious actors from doing as much while also letting anyone who wanted to pentest and granularly access the code have complete access and find as many if not more weaknesses than a dedicated corporate bug hunting team

I dont think cars should connect to the Internet if you don’t want them to so live commands shouldn’t be an issue but if you are talking about programming preset commands in having the apps be open source would fix that for the most part by adding that auditing layer

I still use mint for my daily driver office laptop because I works well right out of the box but you still have the level of software fuckary that let’s it be fun to mess with

That is fair but some emissions control software and such is run through the same computer, I agree on the tactile sensation but I wouldn’t want to tie critical car functions into a smartphone so you would still need a computer and if you are gonna put a computer in at least some functionality based on spare processing power makes sense

I dont remember because I went straight from boring teen to would be interested but is in an industry where every job in it has random drug testing

Either that or ban obfuscated hardware 9r software in vehicles and require the infotainment section to be modular so that people can change out pieces and upgrade hardware as they want

And do the same thing for all electronics

I am going with a Linux phone for my next one if that is the case also what the fuck is gonna happen because I deleted the basic ui and am currently using a sideloaded one
