I'm contemplating a move back to iOS (after nearly five years on Android), and I'm very much not happy about it.

If I do it, I will use my phone as a glorified dumbphone. I'll probably get a used iPhone 12 mini, just to make sure I don't use it for anything but a camera and basic texting (and one or two incidental work-y things) — my eyes don't like small phones.

I'd miss Syncthing and termux (native and nearly feature-complete local linux userspace) the most.

The #RCS debacle was already frustrating me a great deal, and now this latest thing of making Android less and less FOSS is even more frustrating.

Egad to switch to FaceID? Ugh, that's just unthinkable. Maybe a used iPhone SE2. Such bad options. I hate the gesture navigation, too. I tried really hard to get used to it on Android, and gave up an went back to the clunky three-button navigation.

Maybe I'll switch to stock Android and learn how to disable the more odious googley things, but that's gross, too. :(

So, looks like my choices are:

  • Kaleidoscope unicorn vomit from Cupertino
  • Gradually-sabotaged and outdated FOSS Android
  • Privacy-invading proprietary Android that all but tells you to install an authentication dongle up your butt (that'd be Meta's version, for sure)
  • Nigh unusable and buggy and/or limited Linux phone
  • Go live in a cave

Maybe I can get a local realtor to show me some nice caves close to town? XD

Seit wann geht das denn? Habe gerade eine RCS Nachricht von meinem Dienst-Handy ans iPhone geschickt! RCS zwischen Android und iPhone?! Ohne kaputte Emoji-Symbole?? Ist mir neu! Wohl möglich könnten auch noch Bilder funktionieren? Es geschehen unglaubliche Dinge! War das ne Auflage vom Digital Services Act oder warum der Sinneswandel bei Apple und Google? #Apple #Android #RCS #interoperability

$ git commit murder

because

$ cvs commit murder

didn't have quite the same audience-appeal and

$ ci murder

sounds more like a police procedural where the confidential informant gets bumped off. 😉
