I didn’t say that people who use Android are stupid and neither I intended to. What I meant is that Android is really enshittificated now. “It’s certainly not possible to just not have a phone” is another story. I think relying on phones too much hurts people and the world a lot but again that’s a whole new story
Okay, but saying “Imagine using Android” paints a certain picture. And, yes, relying on phones is dangerous. It’s not that it’s impossible to live without a smartphone, it’s that arbitrary systems have been put up in society that have created a large dependence on them.

Agreed in everything. Will try to be more careful about what I say next time
Stock android is definitely enshitified - but there is still hope with custom os’s
They can change small thing or two, but nothing at the core. Look: when Samsung add something to Android vs when Google.

Then its no longer stock?

That is the definition “stock” for me as well. What @Tundra@lemmy.ml mentions is the definition of “default”. Big difference.
Fair enough - we are agreed at least then that the default android os is awful for privacy.
We all agree on that, I’m sure. Have a great Sunday, guys.
You too!
