    I hope they push this out and spark the ire of the EU, who tells them to unfuck it or starts funding an alternative like Ubuntu Phones or something. That would be an amazing outcome.

    Unfortunately, things have to get worse before they get better. It’s how people learn.

      It’ll be like Edge, where you can uninstall it in certain EU countries, but nowhere else. It won’t really change anything on the grand scheme

      probably will take a bit longer because it will happen in certain countries like Indonesia and Brazil first (i.e. not EU countries)–basically the countries with rampant apk scamming, unfortunately. I think this move is also partially forced by the government in those countries, but that’s just my conspiracy hat talking, note that I’m also against this move and much prefer a scam education (I’m in Indonesia).

      My brother has ordered the Jolla phone, and I will too if it works out for him and works on American networks
