minus-square@RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink24•12 days agoI bought a Pixel so could install a degoogle OS on the phone. This largely removed Google from my life.

minus-squareBurgerBaronlinkfedilinkEnglish4•12 days agoI considered that risk before getting a Pixel 8 and it burns a little yeah. I’ll use it like every other phone that stops getting updates for a few more years in the worst case scenario, then move to FairPhone I guess.
minus-square@RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink6•12 days agoThe updates will take a little longer that is all. GOS is not in the same boat as other custom rom devs - they don’t have build trees either. GOS is talking to a couple of OEMs about getting a GOS phone produced.
