That’s actually a surprise to me, seeing how they wouldn’t let people sideload. Can’t believe the app store would allow pirates.

There’s free good quality music apps on F-Droid, a sort of catalogue where you can side load apps. That’s Android, power to the user!

Here is the link to get F-Droid, https://f-droid.org/

Try to use a desktop, try different browsers if needed, if you cannot, you may need to physically go to the bank.

I have a pixel 6a and it works great. However, I did run GrapheneOS shortly after I got it, so that may be why. I don’t use the Stock OS.

So google might be trying to get you to buy the newest phone? I know apple likes to slow down their old phones so people upgrade, maybe Google does the same.

Yk, I’ll play devils advocate and say that I see the good in this. People with disabilities will finally be able to do things.

But, governments will definitely love this. And the proprietary technology would definitely be spying on people, no surprise there.

I’m really afraid it could become a mandate to get in the future (gotta learn how to survive in the woods.)

So overall, it has good potential but would definitely be used for harm. I think it’s a net negative.

What are the stats for Graphene and Calyx?
