I thought blocking nsfw posts on mobile was bad enough until I tried viewing a totally SFW subreddit that was small enough to not be “verified”. Straight up didn’t let me view a subreddit that wasn’t essentially approved without logging in or using the app.
there’s this awful venn diagram of circles with no overlap, where you cant get a smallish phone that gets updates. Even asking for it to be well made is a pipe dream.
Add onto the desire for an unlockable bootloader and your only options are the phones designed to be thrown into a river after the job is complete.
I wish those unihertz devices were serious whatsoever. They ship on old android versions and get maybe one update in their life cycle.
Android is such a clusterfuck of an OS too. kernel/driver space is an absolute mess so every OEM has to basically ship their own kernel. Qualcomm is the devil and hides everything behind NDA’s so you can’t really write an open OS from the ground up on any hardware that can do any real processing.
