    And are these alternative phones in the room with you?

    Seriously, the alternatives to Google’s Android are:

    iOS: lol GrapheneOS: Currently at the mercy of Google Lineage: Same /e/OS: Same

    Plus a bunch of half baked Linux distros that run on old or limited hardware.

    We’re in a duopoly because it doesn’t suit the manufacturers to give a shit.

      No, but limited thinking sure as fuck is. If everyone jumped on to say, cheap iphones, the android market would suffer greatly, forcing the company to rethink its position on anti consumer practices. You dont have to stay on the cheap shitty iphone, you just need to stay on it long enough to make your voice heard.

      This is the problem with everyone. You all just moan about enshittification, while doing nothing at all to combat it. Its always a list of terrible excuses. No one takes short term pain for long term benefit. Pussies.
