I recently shared a meal with a female friend. Imagine how I'd look if I wasn't able to get money transferred from her, because of not having a mobile banking app.

These useless apps make Linux phone adoption harder, fuck them!

I still miss firefox os and feel sad for them not succeeding. Their app system could have become a multiplatform standard and allow us to have much more options in the smartphone market, as well as better desktop integration and interoperability :(

I use GraphineOS on my Pixel 7 and even I feel penalized for caring about my privacy. Its absolutely nonsense, not everything needs an app.

My S21 is on the verge of losing regular security updates, and I hate it. The battery is fine, the camera is more than adequate, I do not want to upgrade.

I'm rocking an S8 as long as I can, but no updates in 5 years is starting to cause compatability issues. I'll have to look into /e/OS soon I think.

That's what you get, honestly.

Hopefully you can learn from this and not waste your money on garbage.

I have an S10e in service, it's perfectly fine.

I saw whoever has the Nokia name now is selling smart phones designed to be end user disassembled and repairable, but they're really mum about how long their software support is.
