    I hate that nowadays everything comes with pre-installed spyware and that they charge you for it makes it even worse…

    • Want a TV? Suck on our Android TV with Google spyware embedded
    • Want a phone? Get our Android with Google spyware, or go for an Apple with Apple spyware
    • Want a computer? We’ll shove Windows spyware down your throat

    Ffs I just want devices that I own to not spy on me, and I can’t even buy them anymore…

    Each of them require flashing a custom privacy respecting OS onto it,
    and that’s a real problem…
