Meh, not really

See ya, fuckhead!

I absolutely do not want to run Google binaries on the phone, graphene doesn’t support microG and instead want you to run Google’s binaries on your phone, just sandboxed.

I hate that idea.

If you tear out the parts that talk to Google, then the phone hardware isn’t spying on you. It’s just hardware.

The critical piece tying your phone to Google every 3 minutes is called “play services”.

Calyxos was an OS for the pixel hardware that replaced play services with a FOSS library (called microG) which tricked regular apps into thinking they were talking to and getting responses from Google, when it was actually all happening on your phone.

Soon of a bitch 😓

Well, that was fun.

Got a pixel? Check out calyxos, it’s a free system upgrade that rips out anything google but allows almost everything to work, even the play store and all your usual games and bank apps.

E: nevermind. It was great while it lasted.

Businesses get pissy about anyone needing to go to the bathroom if they’re not a customer.

I never cared if I was on camera, nobody looks until after something serious happened. Pissing definitely ain’t that serious.

You’re a funny guy, I like you.

I live on the west coast now, certainly got my memories going now from my neighborhood pizza joint when I was a kid.

Unfortunately, very true.

Where are you living?? I’ve walked through the TL and a bunch of other supposedly “bad” areas of SF without having that problem…

New Yorker here, yep.

City of a thousand sights… And smells.

Would you kindly…

How it feels browsing AliExpress as of late…

If I have time, espresso + avocado toast with adobo & chili flakes, topped with a fried egg.

Otherwise, just a coffee.

As a motorcyclist and bicyclist, I am not afraid of getting hurt by failures of other people’s seatbelts and airbags.

I know what you’re getting at, but there’s more at stake here.

Forgot about this joke.

I don’t trust the sandbox enough. MicroG on calyx does the play emulation just fine for me.

Anyway, good luck and I hope it goes well!

I’m staying with Calyx just because I don’t want to run Google binaries. What’s encouraging your switch?

No he means with sharp steel.

Yes, but very worth how much better writing anything tricky or fast goes.
