      Well, yes, I prefer desktop. But you know, in some countries some people have nothing else than phones. I am glad that Mullvad has posted this and hopefully Google can fix the bugs soon.

              Well, I didn’t see the other comments till now, and wrote Upvoted as an alternative to Insightful which I was intending it to sound. I appreciated your comment because I think Google likely have their own priorities.

                Well yea I understand. I just didn’t know what else to say. I didn’t want to just upvote and not reply because I don’t want to ignore nice (no I’m not saying that upvoting me makes you nice) people in this toxic and hopeless world. In the contrary I want to promote them. Though nobody (probably even myself) will believe in it after everything I’ve done and said here for various reasons. I guess it’s an imagine being sus moment

                  All fine. Your comment where you mentioned autistic suddenly made me “understand” the let-s-call-them misunderstandings in this thread. And I agree about the toxic world, but we’re all in the same boat, so I’d say we may as well be nice to each other at least a few seconds per day. Sometimes small things can make a big difference.

      LineageOS with Jerboa over Mullvad VPN here. Not many options on mobile devices.

        And Android runs a shit load of portable devices beyond phones.

        Most handheld store scanners are Android based today. Inventory management devices (like warehouses have used since the nineties) used to be Palm-based, are largely Android now, because it’s core is Linux. They don’t have to run the standard Android shell, they can run their own.

        I’ve used medical monitors that are Android based.

        Yea unfortunately. Hopefully the enshittification of new versions will speed up the development of alternatives

        EDIT: imagine raiding (now seriously)
