You can just ask people out.

I know I can, but you think I dare do that?

Cool, how long are you staying?

I’m going to Japan in 2 weeks and I’m so excited for it. Where are you going? I’m planning to rent a car as well to see some of the country side

Glad I didn’t buy a zenfone, looked like a great option but that sucks

Yes, but that got reversed completely and now Sam Altman is still in charge and the company is prioritizing profits

For what its worth, my Sony Xperia 1 VI didn’t come with a lot of google apps and it was easy enough to get rid of those. Obviously play services and some other stuff remain, so it’s not a degoogled phone, but it’s alright. Sony asks for some analytics stuff, but that’s all very easy to deny.

Sony also makes it very easy to root, unlock and flash your phone, with an official guide on how to do that. It’s not as easy as installing graphene OS, but I’m sure somebody will built lineage or something for it at some point

Edit: Here are links to the official documentation, Sony makes it pretty easy to built and flash AOSP

and otherwise putting absolutely no thought into the existence of predators

That’s absolutely not what I said and that’s also not what “Thinking ahead and planning strategically” entails
