    Great i guess it is time to root my phone, and run a custom rom. I haven’t had to do that in years because android finally got good.

    If you use the term “sideloading” you already lost the battle before you finished your sentence

    Because of using Shelter, this will make my phone practically unusable.

    This is fucking ridiculous

    I honestly wish for the responsible people to die. A natural, painless death, but let it be quick. All of silicon valley is so evil it would be deemed unrealistic for a movie villain. They are selling out our freedoms and planet for what? They are already stinking rich.

    Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.

    Fucker, if I own the airport, own the planes in the airport, am the only person using my own planes in my own airport, then nobody is asking for my ID.

      Okay, but what if Google owns the airport, the planes, and thinks it’s entitled to own the people flying on them, to boot?

    The Android ecosystem has been feeling more like an invasive chaotic advertisement machine the past few years. The play store is a cesspool, the weather app switch was poorly executed, Google Podcasts went to the graveyard, and Google pay getting shut down meant I had to switch back to vomits Venmo.

    I still have Android gaming handhelds, but why wouldn’t I just get an iPhone the next time I go to replace my phone? I can’t believe I’m even saying that after being so die hard Android so for years.

    I’d also say, it’s likely rooting your phone would work around this, though I don’t recommend that from a security perspective.
