I'd say something, but it's pretty much all been covered. They're now too big to fail, so we just have to put up with whatever they serve up next.

I'm not changing phone ecosystems, as I enjoy having some marginal level of control over the hardware I fucking purchased. Search is fucking worthless; I've not used that in ages. DDG gets the job done without a screen and a half of ads and sponsored content.

Who the fuck puts up with this shit?

Also, as I have nearly run out of fucks to give: Fuck. And now I'm out of them again.

Open source android forks exist. Open source operating systems exist. Phones that natively run both exist. Do you mean that you specifically enjoy having maginal control, no more, no less?
