      And compared to the genocide in Myanmar it’s wholly unimportant! Let’s focus on a single thing at a time, that’s the path to progress!

        While I don’t think we can or should focus on a single thing, that doesn’t mean we should focus on everything.

        We can focus on more than one thing, but we can’t focus on infinite things. We don’t have infinite attention.

        Investigating one thing does take away resources from being able to do other things.

        There should be a name for this fallacy. I guess people struggle with it because it’s one of those things where the middle is right.

      That only applies to people with gapps installed.

      If you follow best practice of reinstalling the OS after you buy a device, that “lock down” does nothing for you

        so basically everyone. I don’t know where have I read it but its true: after this you won’t be able to help your relatives and friends (when they ask) to use apps from fdroid that won’t just blatantly steal their data and usage habits. not everybody is ready to have their OS replaced, it comes with loss of functionality thanks to fucking google integrity checking, and because lineage os often has significantly less features than the original system, but in lots and lots of cases: their phone is not even supported by a reputable custom rom, or any
