I’ve seen people on here legit try to claim iPhones are better because you are “paying with your data” with android phones. I’m glad I have this so I can prove you are both paying with your wallet AND your data when you buy apple’s overpriced bourgeois junk

just reading through this post now, but i imagine CalyxOS has some privacy + firewall features that help minimize data collection (like, you can turn off the internet for apps that don’t need it). but yea the apps you choose are pretty important

You can backup your files and if something goes wrong you can reinstall stock Android for whatever reason

Ok, between all the negative press on google, facebook, and now apple, I’m inclined to think silicon valley is engaged in a publicity civil war.

It’s pure conjecture, but does anyone else get that sense? Not that it invalidates the reporting, which is hardly surprising.

Lmao nvm I just noticed this is from march
