It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.

    There are options now that allow you to remove phone bloat/ads/spyware without rooting and without breaking the security model of the devive. GrapheneOS and CalyxOS have made rooting obsolete IMO.

      You don’t have to root to use graphene? I always thought you did and that was basically the only reason I haven’t switched. Thanks!

        You just need an OEM unlocked Pixel and a web browser that supports webUSB. You literally just click the buttons on the installation web page and it does everything for you in your web browser.

        https://grapheneos.org/install/web

        You can even install GrapheneOS using another phone, no desktop computer needed.
