Just use signal or any e2e instant messanger instead of it.

What the hell is elsagate?

It did, but was later removed for some reason.

Well, this person (according to their post history) has schizophrenia, but this could kinda be real and probably also happned, if not recently, probably sometime in history. Of course the stereotype about rape victims actually exists.

You can replace the battery easily and there are roms like calyx and divestos, which support bl relocking. Although divestos doesn’t look very stable, but I haven’t tried it.

I think some op phones also meet the requirements.

Snapdragons are decent for custom roms, the problem is samsung blocking bl-unlock on US SDM phones.

Well, living without proprietary hardware, firmware and sometimes even software is really hard to achieve. You have to use specific hardware which is often very expensive. You’re probably fine with mostly foss software and proprietary hardware. If you want some fancy hardware (i ve recently looked into a garmin watch(which is still not terrible for privacy)), you also need proprietary apps, which isn’t great, but you don’t actually have an alternative.

I made the account here, when it wasn’t as popular and I’m way too lazy to migrate.

And this is making a lemmy.world monopoly, which is bad for the fediverse (still better, than reddit).

And most are chrome.

I think it usually works with VLC (but usually not performant), but I don’t think there is an alternative for cast on android (without gapps)

Well, I’m forced if I want to use casting to androidTV or chromecast. Edit: fx-cast exists.

AI is just an excuse to lay off your employees for an objectively less reliable computer program, which somehow statistically beats us in logic.

I think all snapdragon samsungs are permanently OEM locked but I’m not sure. I recommended not using gapps for usability (battery usage and performance) and privacy (no need for explaination).

Just use a custom rom.

Just warning you, US samsungs and BBK phones (excluding oneplus) aren’t oem unlockable and mi unlock requires a phone number. Not all apps work without gapps (uber(I think), google apps, software requiering play integrity). I also reccomend buying a decently performant phone for osm. It crashes a lot on my redmi 4x, while on mi 11 lite it works great.

No devices have that anymore. I was looking for a phone for my cousin and the only decently preforming normally priced phone without permanent oem lock and a headphone jack was a poco f5. And it doesn’t have a sdcard slot. If you are ok with practically e-waste, you can still buy a redmi/galaxy a15 and the overpriced xperias still have some legacy features. And if you want something as simple as usable battery pull-tabs, the only manufacturer still doing that is Xiaomi or maybe nokia’s e-waste. And don’t even mention the fairphone, as you can’t justify the price.

You can just buy something like a used s10e and install a custom rom (without gapps) and osm (if specifically maps isn’t required). It makes a practically dumb phone with a browser plus maybe some apks.

Like their shitty phones. Even the bootloader tyrant huawei has pull-tabs. And of course their phone with the self-destruct feature.
