Ugh… It's Termux. You're using GNU/Linux on Android essentially. Which just proves my point that GNU/Linux just offers more stuff.

Again, why not use some mobile GNU/Linux OS instead? It's even more robust than a terminal emulator.
@safiuddinkhan @iska @m0xee
Why not? It's still quite clunky at this stage really. Not that I'm against the concept, it's just not very fleshed out as of now. LOS with termux and no google bloat is comfy.
@dushman @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @cyberspook You can't get rid of Google bloat completely because a lot of stuff won't work without WebView. Replacing Google's implementation with Bromite is probably the best you can do at the moment. Mozilla tried to make WebView based on Gecko, but they've given up long time ago.
@inference @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org @cyberspook @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @dushman But Graphene only supports Google phones, does it not?
Trusting Google with hardware and not trusting with software is a little weird 🤷
Not a single other phone allows you to do that. GOS knows their shit, and it's the reason I only use Pixels. I want real security and privacy, not fairy tales. Fairphone even signs their OS with Google's publicly available test key... as their private signing key.
@inference @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org @cyberspook @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @dushman Insightful! At least now I know what this is about.
Still, I prefer to stay away from anything by Google. Not because I'm some FOSS-zealot, I just don't like them and don't trust them. I can't even take things that are not obviously evil like WebPee and VP9, sorry.
Still, thanks for the info, that was interesting.
At least you did it the right way.
