Comment on Privacy — why should I care

  you’ve no fucking idea what I know,

  I know you know nothing about this.

  Your whole post is nothing more than you saying “nuh uh” to everything I wrote

  …and what do you think you wrote? I didn’t see any evidence? Get a Pixel (or other similarly unlockable device), go into the settings and look for the “OEM unlocking” toggle. There’s your evidence. Maybe you can learn something new today.

  I’ve been jailbreaking iPhones and taking apart Android since before you were old enough to even know what XDA is.

  You’ve no idea how old I am.

  Well, take a look at LineageOS and the associated microg edition. They work on dozens of devices. I’ve been flashing ROM’s since the first Android phone and I’m still using my Pixel 2XL, degoogled. I still have my Moto X 2013 {with custim, now unusable ROM} because it is like a river rock. It feels great to hold.

  Google phones have always been unlockable - primarily for the benefit of developers.

  Calyx also offers a degoogled Android, focused on privacy like Graphene.

  If one wants a phone and own it, Google is the only sure way right now.

    You heard it right here on Privacy Guides, ladies and gents!

      Well, what unlockable options are there? I certainly accept that I might not be keyed into everything. Fairphone is the only one i recall.

      Please, don’t just snark. Enlighten me.
