get their names out there. switch them on your friends and families devices. not like they’ll notice as long as the icon is the same.

Install Linux Mint and take it back

i’m not defending apple here, but do keep in mind most android users have Samsung’s or budget devices from Motorola, and they will also have all the bloat included with the carrier if theyre in the US as well. So they’ll have Googles bloat, OEM bloat, and carrier bloat. G/OEM usually gives them 2 suites of apps that do the same exact thing (Samsung Internet and Chrome is the biggest example), and then they also have to deal with the carrier preloading shit on phones as well (I believe Verizon has been preloading the NFL app since like 2014.)

Signal used to be the best but they dropped SMS/MMS ages ago, and group texts are historically awful over SMS/MMS, especially when one or more users in that group have iMessage. I would either switch to Signal and get your friends to Switch, use Fossify Messages (very basic SMS/MMS client), or deal with the shithole that is the G app suite. I’m on signal personally, I only use SMS for verification codes at this point.

mister superman no here

I’m glad to see the shitpost sub actually understand why this is a bad idea. I had some chud on c!android telling me that this was somehow a good thing.

Possessing a digital device has nothing to do with consent. I’d rather not argue with someone so ignorant about reality they believe that privacy is a black and white issue. Goodbye.

I hope that your kids aren’t gay, trans, or part of literally any minority. If they are, I hope they aren’t hunted down by the MAGAts that buy the data you supplied Google with about them willingly before they could even be mature enough to form an opinion about it to be able to consent.

I dont like the idea of google watching what my kids buy. Edit for context: I dont like the idea of this being used to advertise to children. I dont like the idea of my child being used as a data point. I dont like the idea of a crazy ex who works at google using this to figure out what your kids are doing. I dont like ANY of the consequences of what this implies. Give your kid cash or a gift card. They dont deserve to have their Privacy rights violated before they can consent.

why. literally why. what purpose does this serve?

I mean most forks can’t do customization like this, most either stick to AOSP, or are closed source like OneUI and whatever the Chinese companies are doing now.

why is your UI so different
