A chair…

Sounds like good news for f-droid adaptation at least.

Used phones exist. GOS is not the only option either. So basically any phone can be improved with at least lineage.

Counterpoint 2 You don’t. I use a bunch of them from different countries and crappy builds. GPay sure , just get a case with a cardholder

Nope. You want to add them I say don’t do that. Post was not about removing Gapps. Adb commands for uninstalling system apps exist but there is like 10 minute of a learning curve to flash GOS

Don’t do that :)

Yes but internet exist so they are not stuck if they actually put some effort in. Unfortunately people don’t care the way they should.

Well . That’s what forks are for. The aim of GOS is not to support a lot of devices. Since it can archive its goals of a reasonable secure device that way. But as I said a fork of GOS would be good , or longer support from calyx. I think I got a year more out of a pixel 3 on calyx OS. But if your goal is maximum security there is no way around the fact that without manufacturers updates and to a certain extent hardware limitations, it won’t be possible to do.

But best would be a good Linux phone so we can move away from Android all together, hope we can see that soon

A fork of GOS for EOL devices would be pretty nice I agree , but GOS doesn’t decise phone security, manufacturers do. Any phone with good enough security would be a target device for GOS.

Calyx OS usually run longer on EOL so I would go there before lineage.

Google do Google stuff not because they are evil. They do it because they can , which is true for any company in this system. If another takes the position it will do the same. Also its not like phones are Googles main income source. Buying a pixel and putting GOS on it probably is worse for Googles bottom line , no matter new or used, than using a stock any other Android.

I don’t have one. GOS

I don’t have one…

Woosh

The lesser of two evils are still evil

You are the one basing your argument on an article from 2008 , not me. You are completely deranged. Now come back with some hard evidence or go shout at the hollow moon in your tinfoil hat.

Your anecdotes are as good as a horoscope. Get real.

I already did multiple times you just refuse to read it like the little bitch troll you are… context matter a lot you are wrong. How often do you say Nike ? More interesting would be “I will buy a pair of new shoes” now shoes can be mentioned in tons of context so you better have a way of separate it.

No you are wrong. Seems your making things up on the go. More wake words to listen to more battery drain. Fact.

But sure lets play. Now that you used your “wake word counter” what use would that have ? You have ZERO context then. Completely useless .

Seems you don’t, and started your line with a question and continued to do so despite being provided with answers repeatedly . Is there some kink of roleplaying AI dev? You don’t really seem to have done your homework to do so.

Despite what some believe, keyword detection like “Hey Google” is only used to wake up a device from a low power state to perform more powerful listening, it’s not helpful for data tracking. Increasing the number of keywords to thousands or more (which you would need to cover the range of possible ad topics) requires more processing power and therefore defeats the purpose. Your battery would drain very noticeably if your phone was always listening for thousands of possible words.

Litarally all your questions are answered in the link i pointed out twice now. Try it. Hey google doesnt take much 1k wake words a lot more… your math doesnt add up anywhere close to reality.

It would cost trillions and half the battery life. Just because you dont understand something doesnt make you right. Your entire argument is shattered in the link I provided you earlier. Its not a few kb needed and if done locally a huge battery eater. Not to mention that the cost to have any use of it would exceed the entire value of the admarket.

there are plenty of people that can find shit in the noise on wireshark if there was anything like what you are suggesting.

Also there is a teapot in orbit around jupiter. Prove me wrong.
