My dad was trying to get a grooming appointment for his cat something that should take all of 5 minutes over the phone, checking a calendar and penciling it it, but no gotta do it through a web portal then an app, and make sure you put in your credit card number!
ofc my dad got more and more angry as even I was messing around with this crap going over fields over and over because I put in the wrong number, ugh. Bring back simple shit please.
I daily drove the PinePhone for around 3 years, and only just a few days ago switched to de-googled android. It was really cool, and I had fun with it, but it wasn’t exactly the most pleasant experience if you wanted to actually do anything besides texting or phone calls.
Which phone are you using rn? I was looking at a couple different options since my crappy Samsung is on its way out
I’m using a OnePlus 6T with DivestOS. I initially got it a while ago to run postmarketOS, a Linux distro, because it has some of the best Linux support of any android phone. I ran postmarketOS on it for a while, but the lack of camera support was annoying. I’m probably going to try to dualboot postmarketOS and DivestOS. It’s like $100 on eBay, and you are going to need to install your own ROM because they dropped official support. The one I got was locked to T-Mobile, but it’s easy to reflash it so it isn’t anymore.
I would honestly suggest an older Pixel w/ GrapheneOS, it’ll probably have better specs and GrapheneOS seems cool.
