imo this should be outlawed but that’s just my personal preference. The same opinion applies to billboards along roads. I already paid for the phone and for the roads so imo I’m entitled to use those things without unwarranted solicitations for my attention.


Somewhat off topic but related question: Aside from GrapheneOS what are some of the best open source phone operating systems that give as close to full control of the entire phone to the end-user as possible? Do any of them have their own firmware yet?


I've not bothered jail breaking my current phone, because time. Do this, and I will likely find a legal way to do so, because this is ridiculous unless I am getting paid to view them and this is opt in.
