This only applies to people on the stock rom? Or?

I'm using graphene and not having any problems with my device.

How the hell can you be a chain smoker and run a marathon?!

The other ⅔ apparently have their head in the sand .

I'm on Lemmy.world & using the eternity app I haven't had any real issues yet but it's only been about 2 months for me since I started using this platform.

It's criminal that Cuba has been crushed with sanctions for decades all because the US doesn't like their government. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot how people would react

I'm probably sticking with this type of setup until there's a proper Linux phone that can be easily used as a daily driver.

I think the key is patience. One day I think we'll have something that will be able to daily drive Linux that won't feel like you're using the alpha release of android.

Eat them or they will eat you.

This is the same tired line we have to hear every 4 years. It's been a substitute for concrete policy and it's gotten all of us nowhere.
