Got a pixel? Check out calyxos, it’s a free system upgrade that rips out anything google but allows almost everything to work, even the play store and all your usual games and bank apps.

I really hope one day these alternatives will run on non-Google devices. I really don’t want to give them money.

What moron is willingly still purchasing pixels? Might as well put a livefeed camera for Google HQ in your home lol

  If you tear out the parts that talk to Google, then the phone hardware isn’t spying on you. It’s just hardware.
  
  The critical piece tying your phone to Google every 3 minutes is called “play services”.
  
  Calyxos was an OS for the pixel hardware that replaced play services with a FOSS library (called microG) which tricked regular apps into thinking they were talking to and getting responses from Google, when it was actually all happening on your phone.
