I really wish Jolla got their crap together honestly

When my current iPhone dies, I’m never having a smartphone ever again.

Smartphones are such an utter wretch nowadays, & I’m not even sure if there was a time they weren’t. I don’t get the appeal of a smartphone, they do everything a dumbphone does but worse, more expensive & with an unremovable thick layer of scum, yeah a smartphone has some of the features of a laptop or desktop but who needs that baked into their phone for every moment?

People are trying so hard to fix smartphones (even by giving money to the least privacy respecting companies ever by buying Google phones) when they can get a dumbphone and be rid of those problems in the first place. Well that’s my opinion at least, I think it might be a bit extreme.

Makes GrapheneOS even more essential, get a 2nd hand Pixel if you don’t want to directly support Google.

They should be fined so hard for this shit.

Eventually privacy minded people like us will have to start creating and visiting sites on the dark web.

I’m using Firefox on GrapheneOS and recaptcha still works normally for me.

Not noticed it and fuck those websites. Happy to boycott.

You can still go graphene and isolate play services in a secondary profile.

For a better future: Organisations and services that structure themselves to require third party services need to take contractual responsibility for the actions in their fulfillment supply chain, just as an online retailer takes responsibility for delivery agents. Google play services harvesting needs to be reflected in the privacy policy of every company that doesn’t provide alternative access.

Wonder what will happen if we all start making data protection complaints about enforced non contractual third party data harvesting?

I’m running a Pixel 8 rn. Should I deadass switch to an iPhone ATP?

Let’s hope the EU prevents this from happening. We should be able to access every site we wish without Google’s permission.

If google requires me to permit other companies to leech all my personal data to be able to use anything on the Internet at all, I say we label Google, Microsoft, Apple as criminal organizations

I’m sorry, bit there have to be limits.

I. DO. NOT. WANT. TO. USE. ANYTHING. GOOGLE.

OR APPLE. OR MICROSOFT.

FUCK ALL THESE OLIGARCH COMPANIES INTO THE GROUND

I do not want my private data leeches and sold every day, I don’t even get paid for it

Fuck em. If websites use this, I don’t need to see their shit or patronize their business. Google can eat a dick.

Welp, everyone buy a Google Pixel 3a from eBay and install Ubuntu Touch I guess

How do you even scan a QR code if you’re browsing on your phone?
