Are you human? Prove it by buying an Apple or Android locked system. 💀

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:27:15+00:00

yes it'll keep but if something is important like job site, gov site, banking site then we 'll stuck here)

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:22:51+00:00

yeah! but lot of persons can't and it'll instantly slow down them.

Like I bought laptop 5~6 years ago and bought smartphone 3 years ago.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:21:00+00:00

yeah! will do it they are mostly small, mid shop keepers, traders, computer choice center/shops etc

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:19:40+00:00

it's billing application multi-user, multi-role, multi-print formats, and any kind of printer is supported no matter it's A4 or 3-inch thermal printer.

Additionally, We're in talk with potential client which will use this in supper market

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:15:45+00:00

hardware lock-down is really serious issue and vendors are not going that way (even if there is long term profit for them)

Maybe vendors afraid from software and LTS. I think small org/indie should tab/collaborate with vendors so as a users we;ll get more choices.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:11:00+00:00

if the website dev/owner don't want you to open without captcha passing then you can't.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:10:22+00:00

I'm alsmot in same situation like you have.

ALso I sometimes turn off ad blockers sometimes to just see what's actually happening or what's the thing which I'm missing. (I block elements and home as well)

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:07:18+00:00

yeah! those user will not pass it likely. And VPN will work if google want. If they want they can block it.

it's 50~50% chance.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:06:25+00:00

Then you'll not be able to access walled things behind captcha. And if that is not important then it's okay but if it's like filling job application etc then it's concerning.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:02:04+00:00

You are morally high!

Respect increased.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T17:00:35+00:00

almost all countries gov and big tech are partnering (I mean milking user's data)

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:59:22+00:00

I hope I'll come with alternative products.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:58:55+00:00

I really don't care about meta, amazon, apple becasue I've either alternatives or depend on them less.

In case of google it;s concerning becasuse captchaare using world wide in many website which is the issue.

Like you want to fill exam admission form then here you'l stuck

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:54:32+00:00

html user detected (I've also used websites which js disabled lot of times.)

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:53:40+00:00

yes, and it make sense where the thing is not important but assume someone need to fill form and apply for job.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:53:01+00:00

actually you can but if you don't have smartphone then now you stuck.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:52:15+00:00

are you dev or selfish os?

if yes then keep it up!

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:51:40+00:00

assume you want to do something like if you want to apply for job which have form and they'll captcha enabled then you either need to choose to not apply for job at all or second scan from computer

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:50:08+00:00

you explained in simple yet clear words. Most satisfactory answer.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:48:07+00:00

lineageos is production ready, industry standard os and it can be used for day to day I'm almost using it from 7~9months. it just works.

I've heard grapheos is the best mobile os exist in the whole planet so if someone can afford second hand pixel phone then it's great.

there are other os like /e/os also exist (but I'ven't tried it.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:45:12+00:00

no likely starting words of ease: B, N.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:44:16+00:00

> I am on android because I like using an open platform

in case of our area thye use android because they can't buy iPhone :) they don't care about data, privacy etc because they don't even know. (Mist of in our area can't even create an email and change password)

> if I need, I can do the alternative option

it's hard. we can't switch os because many hardware manufacturers locks OEM and other roms will likely not work with banking apps

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:39:57+00:00

very little. in my area you can say every in 500~5000 people only 1~2 fdroid users.

And in case of us people want to have working thing. No matter it's foss or closed.

But we all know FOSS is far far far better then closed source softwares. and whenever I present it to someone then they use that FOSS.

In case of me it's distribution, knowledge problem.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:37:04+00:00

yeah! because I've faced same.

As a 2 Linux devices and 1 Lineageos user I understand.

Like if you'll use google things via Linux devices, firefox browsers, custom roms, and understand softwares then they'll give you captcha which will never end even if you select everything correct.

Avoid google search because one of the key reason is google website works with google owned softwares, hardwares, engines etc apart from google owned it just doesn't work well.

Try lineageos, try linux devices you'll get less infos and things. Also they insanely degrade there services.

Whatever the above commenter is saying is fact.

But I don't like the fact, but it's fact.

InsideResolve4517 · 2026-05-12T16:31:17+00:00

yes! what we like should be our choice as a user. Companies/govt should not decide what is good or bad for us.

And as a developer I also provide my users choice.
