My gay af phone just did a forced OS update, and now I have to uninstall gigs of games it auto-installed.

Along with a bunch of other non-game apps I don't need or want. I also now have to go through the settings for every app and reset permissions and notifications to none/minimum. Best of all, my battery life has somehow just dropped by about 30-50%.

I member having a flip phone with a 3 day battery, and no apps. Those were good times, and they weren't even that long ago.

Edit: HBO Max is apparently now on my phone, and it won't let me uninstall it. 110 when?

Been using Graphene myself for almost a year now. Dead simple to install, too. All it takes is a couple of changes and you can use it without any compromises.

It does require a Pixel, though. But I got mine open-box for a decent price, so no regrets.

And the frequent updates are meant to improve things (or simply update security), not make shit worse.
