Here’s one of the Elon jet trackers on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ElonJetTracker/

This is the route I went years ago. Not only do i not feel like lugging around an obnoxiously long buttonless 1kg remote control, within two months the display will be shattered because I sneezed, and I will have to buy a new one because replacing the screen costs as much as a new phone.

I know they do that shit by design. Why would the back side of the phone need to be made of fucking glass? It’s literally the only reason I ever buy new phones, the screen is the only thing that ever breaks, and they never survive long enough to be “too old” to use.

My suspicion is that the main purpose of Googles decision is to stop F-Droid and Aurora Store from working.

“No” is what I would prefer to say but for some reason “that is extremely unlikely” hits the point home harder.

You can research a phone you like and check if it has an unlockable bootloader, root it, and install something like LineageOS on it. It’s fairly straight-forward, not super technically demanding, but it does require some tinkering and time setting up.

xdaforums.com is where the rooting kids hang out, post guides for specific models, upload images et c, you can probably do it in an afternoon with GPT.

The issue is that some apps, notably banking and official type apps, usually don’t work as they rely on google services for operation. I solve it by having a cheap secondary phone that I only use for that stuff.

Oh, I almost forgot: FUCK YOU GOOGLE

Cool, thanks for the post, found a new channel to subscribe to.

I like being able to give instructions without having to poke a damn screen.

Thank you for the reasonable take. Clearly it resonated with people. I think that’s the way to moderate- even if it isn’t a perfect fit, if enough people on the sub feels like it is, it’s reasonable to let it be, in my opinion.

Every time I quit drinking I remember all the reasons I drank in the first place.

You got some mallet, bro? I’ll suck yo dink

I stopped drinking a couple of weeks ago. My productivity is through the roof, and so is my crippling depression.
