    They’ll be right back unless they’re downright chemically addicted. Android is a shovelware trash operating system.

    Like for expample the Bluetooth quick tile sorting by most recently paired Instead of most recently connected (and no its not rearrangeable without re-pairing devices)

      That’s the most specific and irrelevant example I’ve ever heard in my life lol

      “This car is unusable and nobody will ever like it! Did you know that under the trunk, if you look at it with a UV light, the paint pattern is using a slightly different hue than the rest of the body?”

      And iOS has shitty notifications. Both os have their advantages and downsides.

        That’s not my best example. It’s a randomly chosen one. Why did you assume it was my best example.

          After so many dislikes, any moderately smart person would start introspecting in where they went wrong.

            I have been. I guess I could have worded it better? Let me re-explain:

            Both operating systems are F-tier trash heaps and the only reason I’m not using GNU+Linux is because of the security that Graphene provides and the fact that applications are made for Android. And no whatever emulator you may be about to suggest is not a good option. I’ve tried all of them and they all suck.

            Android lets you actually install apps. iOS is slightly note usable from UX/smoothness standpoint. I’ve talked to many people from both sides. They don’t want to switch because they’re “fine” on what they use and can’t deal with loosing the minor advantage.

            I use android but would instantly go back to iOS if I could just install whatever .IPA I wanted, and the system API wasn’t arbitrarally locked down for non-apple apps. The bullshit like apps not actually being able to run in the background, terrible non-rigid permissions, bullying from Apple, etc. are all comparible to the level of bullshit from AOSP such as the random example I gave above. There’s always something new that I uncover ever few weeks so I like to give that or some other random example every time I talk about it to highlight the extent of the bullshit.

      Wow, what a short-sighted view. Android, despite its many shortcomings, gives you orders of magnitude more freedom in almost every way imaginable. And none of its shortcomings are blocking you from using it, rather more or less annoy you.

        Is there any decent way on a normal android device to rsync sending data to the Android device from another system?

          I’ve never tried it, but there appear to be some rsync apps on f-droid, you could try.

        Its not short sighted its from several years of experience.

        iOS is also trash shovelware but in a way that’s more usable/less haggle for most people.

      nobody is forcing you to use the far superior operating system. it’s funny because I’m pretty sure most Android developers use Macs, as do many developers, but everyone who likes to use FOSS and have control of their device uses an AOSP based OS on their device.

        I’m using graphene

        And the fact that mobile apps pretty much only means iOS and Android forces me to do so.
