Rob Braxman has many topics on Google and Apple's harvesting user data without you knowing and the claims of "Privacy" from these Big Tech companies. These companies are lying to you to get your data.
Hopefully this will help those who are blind to big tech's intentions. Lots of informative videos on his channel as well. The video below is titled "Does Apple Quack Like a Duck?"
Apple removed Alex Jones, supports Neil Young, mandates and masks. They also produce beats headphones, the in ear ones basically say bbb.
Apple is cucked as us all of big tech.
bbb = 666 too
I used to have iPhone until the people on here set me straight! 🤣 Now I'm a galaxy girl
FYI if you have the Google Play store on your phone, Google is still harvesting your data.
I went de-Googled android running Lineage OS 18.1
LOL. I've done contracting work for SAMSUNG. They are DEFINITELY not any better.
I saw a video from this guy reviewing windows 11 beta - his conclusion was microsoft respects your privacy. Take everything this guy says with a grain of salt
He means you are able to see settings and turn settings on/off to control your privacy. Linux is his daily driver. Only uses Windows for Adobe premier.
You should really watch more of his videos to get all the information and disseminate.
I have watched quite a few of his videos before the windows one. He still said what he said - the way he said it made me think he was on the take, at least from microsoft
I will give you that. He was a software architect for Microsoft and has built enterprise systems. "used to be" on the take I would say. But everything I have seen so far, he does not seem like a MS shill.
Fuck apple from day one baby!
100%. I am with you. Ditched them recently. Wish I had done it sooner.
Outside of getting a burner what options do you have? apple delivers the best experience across all their device types.
I thought so too until I got the new galaxy note last year.
What are you enjoying that apple didnt offer?
Chargers that don't break every couple of weeks, an amazing camera, and great screen! And the ability to customize. Honestly the hardest part to leave behind was imessage. I still miss that sometimes.
Right, the experience is better for a price that I am not willing to pay anymore (hidden harvesting of data)
Calyx OS or Lineage OS. The base OS though will be AOSP (Android Open Source Project)
The problem arises when you need to sign in on your phone. De-googled phones you do not need to sign in. They just work.
And is your ultimate goal just not to be datamined? Thanks for the alternatives, haven’t seen those yet
To be anonymous on the internet. This way big tech has no way to create a profile on you based on what you do on the internet. We all know this can lead to authoritarianism.
I am running Lineage OS. Used to run Apple. Yes, there is an adjustment but you just need to be willing to make the change.
My first phone was the droid X LONGGG time ago and I loved it. Ive been on apple since when I was stuck in a different state and needed a new device when my droid got dunked in a drink. Ive stuck with apple for the practicality, i dont hack on my phone anymore because I dont have the time basically. A lot of people are stuck in this predicament either time or ability to do what your telling me. There have been some attempts of making simple safe smartphones with paired down features. You gotta also think hardware level too and not just software. Elites realize smart people can get around them with custom linux solutions and need to have a back door somewhere
I agree. Not everyone is able to go through the steps of de-google-ing a phone. However the steps to do this are available.
I have seen these like the pine phone and linux phone. Both of these have issues with reliability, etc.
There are only certain phones you can de-google because of the hardware/ SOC. Pixels and Moto G7 can be de-googled.
