When I got a degoogled phone, I'd already decided I do not trust Google with my data and I want to be far away from them. With that decision came the decision that I don't consider them an authority I rely on, and don't want their opinion on what is good and what isn't. If people aren't ready to degoogle, that is fine, but to ask google if it's cool to degoogle is a an area where maybe folk aren't ready to degoogle.

Ah, maybe Voyager doesn't yet recognise those links and sees it as external. On Firefox, the link opens in same tab.

Yes, but with payments, it's high risk and complex. Payment providers want full control of their environment. Google aren't going to be comfortable rubber stamping degoogled phones. Saying, "hi google, can i get away from your spying, but can i have this spying" makes no sense to me. A bank card is ridiculously small and you can tap without pin or use pin if you prefer. You have a solution to the problem. Wanting it on your phone rather than via bank card isn't really providing anything extra to the solution. It's a massive non issue. Many phone cases carry cards. It's such a meh issue.

Ooof, where are you if you don't mind me asking? You cannot import or get second hand?

You are such a nerd...

... and so wonderful! Thanks for looking over source code so busy folk like me don't have to! :)

It's in the post at the top, there is a link that says cross posted from. That should hopefully work.

The two main features that aren't biggies and GrapheneOS doesn't support and they're the deal breakers? Yeah, right...

Works on hands free for calls but not with Android auto.

I'm using a 6a and it works great. Mileage may vary if you get under contract as these companies sometimes mess around with the boot locking stuff etc.

[–] AncientMariner 2 points 2 years ago

I got the 6a over half a year ago for £299 brand new. So about $350 dollars, I'm guessing. Best to get the older models when newer ones are out or just about to come out. 6a is really great.

Hi google, can you approve our phone that basically cuts your apps out and offers privacy from your mass spying operation please? Such a weird point.
