Why is the universal Android Version 160MB?

,haha, who would’ve thought…

, don’t care, not buying it.

My main question would be: does it include protection from Google itself?

… some people want that. Ie there’s a window manager, openbox, it’s thought of by many people as dead or not further maintained because it happens so rarely, but it is because it’s good as, it works and many people love it for that.

I started to answer it but to me it felt too much like ‘surveillance state’ questions…

Frustration: that we seem to punish certain people for transgressions against government rules and not others. (This government rely knows how to show off inequality).

Just because things are natural doesn’t mean you can’t apply reason. Anything that’ll end up killing ourselves, in the greater picture, is petty stupid, especially if it only provides short term comfort we easily can do without.

Possibly easier achieved with a window manager than a desktop.

Enshittification by bloating with useless stuff. Not what people want but what they’re forced (or blackmailed) into - all for G glorification and money grabbing. Look at Nova (launcher): one time affordable fee and stuff to make your phone useful (handling and aesthetics) you can have an as minimalist or as fancy environment as you want. Just read they’re (Google) are going to use AI now in YouTube to give you ads when you’re most focused on something - it’s unethical imho and also shows how stupid advertisers are because I for one wouldn’t only be peeved with Google but boycott the product or/and advertiser.

Yep, I like Nova too.

Yawn, more enshittification, is that really what people want? Seriously thinking about a degoogled phone or even free of it.

Well what to expect when a big number is just overpriced badly functioning stuff that has way better counterparts on FOSS?
