China should add export tariffs on smartphones and electronic until Vance says thank you.
I'm happy not to buy an iPhone and instead resort to European (Fairphone) and South Korean brands which actually fit my needs.
Don't forget all smartphones—except iPhones of course—still use Android, which is a Google OS with Google services. In the smartphone world, there's no real alternative to American companies. It's pretty much an American monopoly.
CalyxOS on Fairphone is your friend, my friend. 😎 It's degoogled and it values your privacy. If you really need an app from Google Play, there is the Aurora store in between. For everything else thete is F-droid and the calyx and guardian repo.
Oh I didn't know that
This
LineageOS has the biggest library for supported devices afaik, and if you have a supported device you can try PostmarketOS which is Gnu/Linux based without any Android base, again afaik.
There are a handful of smartphones that have other OS, and you can have degoogled Android without Google services.
It's not for everyone, but there are options.
Android 15 is the fifteenth major release and the 22nd version of Android, the mobile operating system developed by the Open Handset Alliance and led by Google.
The Open Handset Alliance (OHA) is a consortium led by Google that develops Android.
we can degoogle android as much as we can, but we can't degoogle completely unless we deandroid
Tell me what is the issue with the code, not with the coder.
Still fell free to use a non Android/iOS option, but I'm sure you are using OEM Android/iOS, making this complain blatantly empty.
If you read carefully, in the context of the comment it's replying to, you'll see that it wasn't a complaint
You're replying to me, so tell me please about the context I'm missing
let's start from the beginning

meaning, it's not a "real alternative to American companies". Which, i understood what your comment suggested a degoogled android to be (because, you see, that was what the previous comment was about)

you replied with that comment and made it about me for who knows what reason. You also needed to make an assumption to feel even more righteous
If you read carefully, in the context of the comment it's replying to, you'll see that it wasn't a complaint
the main point here was that "i wasn't complaining in the previous message " but you were offended by the possibility of you missing something; because if you think that it's a complaint, it has to be a complaint. Who am i to tell you that i wasn't complaining in the comment i wrote. So, you of course deserved some explanation :

And here we are.
It's raining outside and we're far from home on a Sunday. You're lucky today, I have all the time and the patience you need.
Nice wall of text. Care to summarize in a point?
pathetic
lol he blinked again...
The stupidity is truly breathtaking.
I'm sure neither he nor his Mafia aren't making any money from these market swings.
