I use more post-enshittification tech. I've replaced most of the apps on my phone with open source versions.
I've never used proprietary software on my Linux computers so there's no enshittification there. But I have stopped using my enshittified android TV in favor of Kodi on Linux.
For the love of god. I just started repairing a Huawei P10 for my own use (was my mom's). I had to ADB pm uninstall --user 0 a bunch of Huawei shit and play services. The (last) 2021 upgrade made it so it redownloads some apps I removed occasionally (Facebook, Instagram, Petal, ...) fuck this. Why does it keep doing it?
I think I also uninstalled something too much since it doesn't pair to bluetooth devices anymore.
And why can't I just unlock the bootloader and replace the os (well, I could with PotatoNV, but i could only get a GSI, so I lose most features and the camera quality). And it's also stuck on Android 9 - somehow (the phone is from 2017).
Still more usable than my Redmi 4x (4+64) with some motherboard issues, and cheaper than the decent grapheneos compatible phones on ebay (300 - 400€ in EU).
