Is there any theoretical limit to stupidity? (Android permission auto-revoke)

My last two phones have been Sony. The previous one I actually installed and used Jolla's Sailfish OS on for a couple of years, until my banking apps stopped working. Sony's Android isn't that bad, it is quite close to the upstream variant and doesn't have much bloatware. Sony also support third party development (kernel and drivers available), that's why it is possible to install Sailfish on their phones. I'm still thinking about doing it again. Sailfish isn't a completely open platform (GUI is partially proprietary), but you can run any linux on top of it if you wish. And there is a real terminal and you can SSH to the device and do real stuff, like configure the system like a real Linux OS. I miss that I could rsync pictures and files from the phone.

^ “ain’t that bad”’is not the same as “absolutely brilliant”, and hardly a glowing testimony. 😄

Dude, you’re actually adorable and nice, and I genuinely mean that, because you seem totally oblivious to how the interned target demographic of users of smartphones use them. Whoever wants to ssh into their phone “because I can!”?
I maybe did it once, then sat for a minute, scratching my head and asking “Okay, well now what?”
I can ssh into most gadgets I own, but…. why? I ssh into my laptop and servers, but my PHONE?
I can see you’re a diehard Linux appreciator, so enjoy ssh’ing to your phone, and hoping that Linux will “rule the world one day”.
Admit this is you in this video - there’s no shame in being a talented comedian:
Such comedy and free!
