Things I hate in Android

(and smartphones in general)

Caution: If you came here thinking this is one of the casual Android vs. iOS bu**s***, I politely ask you to quit this page. Now!

Two things I really hate in the Android ecosystem that always let me away from it. Namely:

• There is no real security awareness even among system-level third-party developers: One example to render my argument proved is that lots, and by lots I mean a great percentage, of Android users are still using SuperSU (which is a proprietary superuser access management utility)! And even worse, some "high-class" developers in XDA Forums are still recommending it! One cannot be sane and use a proprietary superuser manager in the same time. Sorry.
• This obnoxious disclaimer: "I'm not responsible for bricking your device blah blah blah bullshit bullshit." Who the fuck said you are?! Why am I seeing that bullshit all the time in almost any Android-related system-level technical guide on the web! I'm curious how everyone is gonna die laughing when they see a such shitty disclaimer in a "How to install Apache web server on Ubuntu"-tier article, like: Are you serious?!!

Given that Android is the most mainstream operating system, it is natural and very expected that most of its users do not give a hard fuck about privacy and freedom. But when I see so-called experts not caring about that; It's very bad! Thankfully, the situation is getting better given that many folks are spreading awareness about the nonfree swamp that the smartphone community as whole has been diving in for a long time.

Alternatives

Just use freedom-centric operating systems like PostmarketOS on freedom-centric smartphone like: the Pinephone, the Fairphone or the Librem 5. Or more cruelly, don't use a smartphone at all.
