    In case you didn’t realize, this whole post and thread are just a joke. Try not to take yourself too serious.

    But if you must know, I’m currently on Pixel 8, and most of what I posted describe actual well known problems with Android. You would know that if you used Android.

    Android users won’t be able to reply.

    Third party launchers randomly freeze for no reason.

    Lemmy app crashed due to unknown reasons, but suspected due to battery manager failure.

    Notification of your post never showed up anyway due to Android hosing notifications with Doze, which everyone thought Doze was done for, but really it was just buried deeper into the OS.

    And then Google decided to A-B test all Lemmy users, so that the Lemmy app opens random songs in YouTube Music instead.

    I’m not really the one to ask as I don’t buy a smart phone for a camera. However, it looks good to me and I have a picky eye. And from what I’ve seen, you can use Google Camera on Grapheneos and get the same quality pictures and video.

    I had recently installed Grapheneos on my pixel, with a goal is determining what was responsible for all the senseless Google domains that a pixel normally contacts.

    To my surprise disabling Network for the Google Services Framework and Play Services killed all of the nonsense. The only downside was that GSF has the push mechanism in it also, that many apps use for push notifications.

    If only there were an alternate for push notifications that all apps would use.

    Anyway, Grapheneos runs way cooler than Google’s Malware version.

    I personally observe with my own eyes many many times where Android turns off Adguard’s VPN for a split second when doing various Google things like receiving messages in Google Messages.

    I haven’t been able to pinpoint it but my observation is that the disconnect/reconnect happens when a connection is trying to be made (ex. RCS message incoming), and I suspect Android is dropping the VPN to make its own connection. Sounds paranoid, but I’ve been carefully watching it happen for a long while.
