People running stock or OEM-Android: what do you think about privacy and your personal data in the hands of Google? For Apple, you just kinda have to trust them on not selling/using/… your private data (not discussing how much that trust is worth…). For Google, it is just clear that they are - it’s their business model after all.
Sure - Graphene, Calyx, Lineage etc. exist, but either are limited to specific models, have drawbacks in functionality or are more hassle to setup than most average users are willing to invest.
So, if you are aware of this but still opt to running default Google Android: do you just „ignore“ this? Do you try do „degoogle“ as much as possible? I’m curious to see different opinions on this.
De-google and wait. I will not be buying a new phone or anything that has AI in it embedded in the processor, memory or wherever they try to hide it. I’m prepared to not have a phone and only buy a burner for when I need to get a new job.
You know AI is not evil it’s just software and barely AI. Nobody cares when they called it machine learning.
AI is giving a single person the ability to pick you individually, identify who you are and categorize you by their perceived threat level or business need. AI is totally fucked. Its like a backdoor for spies and popos to be at your door all the time now and until you’re dead and beyond probably.
