To change the goalposts yeah? I make a flippant comment about one approach to data harvesting being more exhaustive than another and you eventually say “yeah but not degoogled Android”? Nobody was talking about that. As I say, each to their own, I’m sure degoogled Android is great for the comparatively few that use it, but the initial post I replied to just specified Android. Of the two companies - Google and Apple - I know which one I’m more likely to trust with my data.
Google harvesting data = bad
Apple harvesting data = bad
Degoogled not harvesting = good
A degoogled Android is therefore the superior product by an elementary process of elimination. The vast majority Android features are not exclusive to the Google portion of the ecosystem, so that is not the qualifier.
You're going with the company that gave a Nazi a golden statue?
Alrighty then, stay losing and simping for overpriced trash I guess.
This comment was reported but I didn't remove it because I think it's quite mild, but this line is unnecessary:
Please refrain from personal attacks.
I'm good thanks.
