  • I see both sides of this. As a blind person myself, I frequently interact with people who have service dogs and such. Hell, at one point in my life, I had a girlfriend who had a service dog because she was deafblind and I have seen her be denied rides in person.

    Every driver who signs up for Uber in the Terms of Service has a thing about having to accept service animals, no matter whether it’s a pet ride or not. It’s just in the account Terms of Service when you create your driver account. If you read them, you will find it.

    So if you absolutely unequivocally do not want service animals in your car, you cannot drive for either of these services.

    I guess you could do like the restaurant deliveries or whatever, but to take passengers, you couldn’t do it.




  • Yes, you do have to do your research before buying a device. Otherwise, you will end up in this situation. What we really need is for graphene to start coming out with their own devices from a manufacturer so that we can say, go buy this device specifically. So instead of go buy this Samsung, it would be go buy this other thing and graphene would already be on it right out of the box.

    Either that or we need a company or individuals to sell devices that they have installed, say, lineage or graphene on already, and put back in the box.


  • Android is open source. There’s nothing saying that we, as the community, couldn’t fork it away and use it as our own base, at least in the meantime.

    That’s why Lineage is called Lineage, and Graphene is called Graphene, because Android is a trademark, but nothing stops you from just forking off, say Android 16, and not relying on Google at all anymore. Make your own security patches and everything else.

    Instead of Android apps, we’d have lineage apps. And lineage apps would work on lineage devices and graphene devices only.

    Instead of .apk it would be say .lpk and the conversion between the two would be seamless.

    so that anybody who built an Android app could with just one single command also build the app for lineage or something like that.
