The Internet Is About to Get a Lot Worse (US focused)

  • most US dems have the stance of "compromise at all costs" which always just means the conservatives get what they want.

    US dems are just conservatives with people pleaser syndrome.

  • I've used GrapheneOS on a Pixel 3A for a year or so, I'll be honest

    It was a fuckin' pain.

    MicroG is not a usable replacement for GPlay Services at all. Push notifs randomly stopped working, various mapping apps wouldn't work. Food delivery apps crashed a ton if they ever did work. Some open source alternatives were a lot better than GPlay Service requiring apps, some were pathetically worse.

    Like, as a handheld device that could use a web browser, it was fine. But as a smartphone that you expect to work when you need it day to day, no, no, god no. By the end of it I was using two phones, one of them a stock android device and the Pixel 3A, and I wondered why I was even bothering.

    I can't blame MicroG for this, its maintained by 1 guy and Google's APIs are huge and everything uses them.

    But I'm also never going to use an Android phone without Google Play Services again. Oh sorry gang, I didn't get your messages because the IM app failed to send push notifs for 3 days. I don't like Google, but I don't like broken phones more than I don't like Google.
