It's honorable that you struggle through 2013 Android, but using an internet enabled device that hasn't received security updates in at least 7 years is a horrible idea.

Upgrade to a Fairphone at least, so you can keep replacing parts while also maintaining a base level of security.

Wish I had heard of fairphone before I bought a pixel. I have to decline Google assistant popups every fucking day

Is google pixel so bad? I thought those are solid phones...

No, it's just that on Lemmy anything that isn't open source or self hosted is basically the devil.

Google Pixels are great phones, but they come loaded with Google Services and this is what this commenter complains about.
