…I can’t? You’re saying I have to throw a thousand bucks at Google first? Sorry, I don’t have that. I live like this? Working for a living and most of my money going to pay bills? Yep. Can’t imagine what it’s like to not worry about money.
But really dude, money is a lot easier to spend when it’s hypothetical or somebody else’s.
Also, custom firmware like GrapheneOS can stop supporting your device at any time. They’re under no obligation to support your phone.
And this tribalism isn’t a good look for anybody. Just use what makes you happy. Or what you can afford. Or what you have. There’s no better way to say you made poor choices and are unhappy about that than to shame people for using a different product than you do.
Used hardware exists man. Also Motorola is partnering with GrapheneOS for their upcoming hardware releases, so maybe when your device becomes obsolete in the future consider getting something with more customization at a (gasp) lower price and with better repairability/customization.
I understand tribalism isn’t good for anyone, but pointing out that there’s a better way than getting abused by the walled garden shouldn’t be taken as mocking.
How do I install those on my iPhone? /s
