There’s positive tech stuff out here too, bud. You’ll likely need to look for yourself though, the recruiter reaching out to you is better funded for some reason.

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.

As a motorcyclist and bicyclist, I am not afraid of getting hurt by failures of other people’s seatbelts and airbags.
I know what you’re getting at, but there’s more at stake here.

I’m not happy per se, I’d rather this guy not be interested in stealing people’s personal data for quiet resale to private corporations.
I’m glad he’s faced consequences, as we all should expect if we do wrong by society.
