Fuck Google and their walled garden. If you want to run Graphene or lineage on a pixel, no more google pay, and it’s hit or miss whether banking apps work.

I managed to get Google pay working on my rooted pixel with lineage for a few months. After a patch broke the workaround, I bought an iPhone lol

Ended up buying AirPods and a watch. It has brought me great peace not dealing with a shit phone that overheats and turns off cellular service. FaceID is also way better than a fingerprint scanner. Google should have kept the facial recognition stuff from the pixel 4XL.

Google also should not have hard coded a process limit into Android. You cannot run VMs on Android anymore. Why should i deal with overheating, unreliable hardware, and lack of tap to pay?

Lol... Sure okay. I don't live in the US so I don't have access to apple pay or Google pay... Why would you being able to tap to pay be a deal breaker when it comes to privacy and hardware...

Also android is OS for what it's worth...

Also, yes the facial recognition is a million times better than the jenky ass fingerprint scanner on my Pixel... Not sure if that's just grapheneOS or the hardware.

Do you think Graphene protects you from tracking? The only way to prevent tracking is to not use any apps or websites

What a dumb question

Everyone knows the way to get privacy is to not use a phone...

Don't you use grapheneOS? Why do I need to break this down for you. You're wasting my time

Hey, don’t be a faggot

Lol. We both use GOS and iphone... Don't ask dumb questions... I use GOS because it's better... End of story...

I'm not going to be baited into enumerating how... Because my autistic self will do it, and it's a waste of my time

Listen if i was in China, i would use GOS too

My pixel 6 pro sensor performs fine if your thumb is clean, but dust or water makes it shit

Expatriotic 9mo ago

Out of the box I found the thumbprint almost unusable... I'm tapping 3-8 times and sometimes I just have to enter the password... I wouldn't even bother trying if it weren't that my password is so long that trying 2-3x before succeeding is better than punching it in.

Not sure if Pixel or GOS issue... Facial unlock on my iphone XR is magically instant. Amazing UX

The pixel 4 xl had all the hardware for facial recognition, and it was almost as good as Face ID. Too bad they removed it

Ancap Revolt 9mo ago

Have you used tap to pay?

Expatriotic 9mo ago

Yes I use it with Alipay here in China with NFC... With Pixel 8a... With GOS

I’m telling the communists you’re on Nostr

Expatriotic 9mo ago

Okay, then tell them to suck my dick

Ancap Revolt 9mo ago

No. Let’s print fgc9s and get rid of them
