    …In a way yes, in a way no. A phone that’s SMS and Calls only has a few advantages. One is that other apps can’t spy on SMS because there aren’t other apps to spy on the SMS. The SMS vulnerabilities en-route still exist, sure, but you’re no longer being monitored by Apple, Google or anyone else by default.

    Sure, the ideal situation is for all of them to get on Signal, XMPP, Briar, SimpleX… fucking roll a D20. They’re all better than the choice they’ll actually pick.

      I hope a future where Google is kicked out of Android but that won’t happen

  As soon as my pixel 8 shits the bed I’m going back to a dumbphone

    I’m gonna snag another used Oneplus phone that has decent community love and keep rolling custom roms until Google stops me.

    …and once they stop me(in ten years or so), a dumphone with tethering and a secondary device. And if they implant a chip into my brain, I’ll go luddite, live in the woods, read poetry and eat mushrooms.

      Hey, this is me! Currently using a OnePlus 5 with LineageOS and a Sunbeam phone. If I need to connect to the Internet or use any phone app, I just use my hotspot.
