Ah. I read "closing the source" and thought AOSP as a whole, not the device tree for pixels. I did hear about that, and I'm honestly kind of hoping it opens up the space for PostMarketOS to support more Pixels if the drivers need to be written from scratch. I am not a big fan of the direction Google has been going either regarding AOSP& device trees so, another player in the mobile OS space that isnt DOA would be cool. Wishful thinking.

They are not closing the source. They are no longer developing in public, the source is still being released at this time. It is speculated they will stop releasing source at some point but there is no evidence this is happening as of yet.
i wish I was you
if the bible was about 3 sysadmins who are all somehow also the same guy I would actually sit down and read all of it.
the writers outsourced most of the workload to AI and Nazis so this is like one of the rare characters on there that is tolerated from that platform
lobotomy
Ah yes, the UTI test with included "we are harvesting medical data to sell it to data brokers so you also get to have the benefit of maybe medicine if our online "doctors" feel like prescribing it"
we love Z-Wave, ZigBee and Tinkerers products with Wifi
someone should make PR in CoMaps or OwnTracks for this feature
You don't have to not use it. You just have to not consistently use the app for 6 months. This is not about the users. Its about the abuse of the users. Regardless of if they did or did not use it for 6 months, the company should not force things upon you at random. I don't understand the mentality of attacking people who are ignorant of the evils companies do. We all walk different paths, and no one learns without being taught.
We should not be shaming the consumers, but educating them. The blame is on the companies for making such a terrible product in the first place, the consumer only found out how bad it was after. Sometimes, you can no longer return a product because its X days out of policy.
Not that I don't completely agree with your sentiment, but to make people start advocating for themselves, you have to make them see you are a friend, and the company is the enemy.
(not that the oop would ever see this post, comment or reply because who on twitter is also using lemmy, but you get it right?)
I had to get rid of my 4a because of the bad battery thing before that went public. The charger got so hot it melted part of the port, no refund offered, out of warranty. Now you're telling me this same shit could happen with my 6a?
I know for a fact my next phone will be the Fairphone 6. Fuck this and fuck google.
