Fair enough.

… but they did, remove it from the Play Store.

Yeah, no, that’s not even a capability that Google has. Android is not built in a way that would allow them to do this, nor is there any rational reason they should alter it to do so.

Those advertizements tend to be porn, escorts, and “dating sims”. Stuff that main-stream ad companies, Google included, won’t touch. The search engines are not profiting from those ads.

Imagine thinking that piracy sites advertize, or generate any sort of revenue for search engines.

Surprised I haven’t seen this suggested here yet: Pirate the music and anonymously mail money to the artists directly.

I’ve never made an attempt at an anonymous checkout there, but Beatport.com offers a lot of lossless music I couldn’t find anywhere else on-line.

The Fairphone 5 has a micro-SD card slot -that 128GB is expandable. The limitations of such devices are more down to the availability of mobile apps in general than down to the hardware, ie, by owning an android or IOS phone, you’re already suffering a disadvantage vs full PCs that Fairphone is no worse about than any of the “premier” phone manufacturers.

The lagging performance over time you’re worried about would be more down to OEM OS update bloat, an issue I don’t foresee with Fairphone.

That said, if it were much cheaper to fix my phone than to replace it, I’m going that route unless the new option is a significant upgrade, by which I mean new features, not performance stats. A better, more privacy-respecting OS is such a feature to me, so it would come down to budget.

No-where in the Community Sidebar is it stated or implied that the Godot project is officially tied to this community or its members in any way, so your edit is petty and stupid, even though I agree downvotes you’ve recieved suck. Calling your arguments with a total of three commenters “dog-piling” or a “bandwagon” is pretty outlandish as well.
