A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Yeah it's the DRM shit. You own a music CD? You can listen it to car, computer, home, friend's house whatever. You own digital music, movies, games, apps on platforms, well good luck.
I deleted my Google account some weeks ago. I gonna miss mini Metro and KGWT when i transition to LinageOS. Overall it went smooth, but some apps don't work (chatGPT for example, Deepseek is more smart offers apk without play store). My bank app is working though.
But i am not sure what happens with safety. Currently the phone uses phone protect and Knox from Samsung. But in LineageOS i must find out how the safety works.
As a side note, you can actually buy music online and it's DRM free (Qobuz, HDTracks, 7 Digital, Bandcamp).
That's sounds interesting. I hope the movies move to that direction one day.
Use Accrescent / Aurora?
I am. But you need having play store enabled and connected to an account to use chatgtp or deepseek from aurora. Basically they were popping up the play store to connect to a google account, so i deleted them. Some apps are tied strongly to google services that they check the play store connection.
I don't know if MicroG fixes that but i need to root my phone or some other stuff that i won't gonna do right now. In 3 months the phone is losing the warranty and i gonna just move to LineageOS.
