I honestly just assumed this would more or less be happening all along, even pre-AI. Google and Microsoft are established Peeping Toms. If you care at all about privacy they should be avoided. (I type from my Android phone...)
because the other options are living like a caveman, or buying into a walled garden that will fuck you over every step of the way.
i don't blame you. try to use as many privacy-respecting apps as possible though, once degoogled android becomes mainstream you can easily switch.
one could argue it already is, but many workplaces mandate the use of microsoft or google products. the monopoly/duopoly is real right now.
Yeah… I went Apple to get away from Google, but now I’m looking at de-googled android options
Pretty shit all around. Almost like millions of wealthy and powerful people don’t want anybody to have private and secure phones.
I switched from MIUI (xiaomi android) to LineageOS a month ago now and my experience has only been better. There's no google, it's way less bloated compared to MIUI or any stock android so I think it's actually faster. Though I must say that while it increases your privacy, it decreases the security of your phone because of having an unlocked bootloader but that's mostly a concern for a threat having physical access to your device, and that's something I've accepted. If you have or get a pixel phone then you can install GrapheneOS which is also very much secure while being google-free and high-privacy. I can't buy a pixel so I'm with LineageOS right now. I highly recommend it, compared to Apple.
