Oh just the first country that occurred to me for fleeing purposes where you can get a BYD car. Was thinking turtle island based on site demographics. That was phenomenally unclear of me as usual wasn’t it

Underlying point: western tolerance/funding/compatibility of privacy/FOSS tools is not reliable once chip & datacenter monopolies become uncertain. It’s being the center of the global surveillance apparatus that gives them the luxury of allowing these software solutions. They control the hardware manufacturers.

My trust does not go far even with GOS, which I am using right now. I’m not afraid of surveillance by my own government. In fact I welcome it, I’m trying to be a cooler person in general and they’re a lot cooler than I am. I just want deeper control over my droid than a Chinese phone would allow, without an unlocked bootloader worrying about my phone being physically stolen (yes I am completely insane, but it helps me relax knowing if I drop it somewhere I didn’t expose my employers)

Within seven years I just got to get a better phone, which they will probably be making by then. Y’all gotta get a new country & laws. We already make those so should be easy right
