That being said Google, Apple and other American companies collect your information too, maybe not as bad, just maybe.
We really need good free and open source OS options for smart phones. Like the GNU/Linux options available on desktops.

- abawany 6y agoMy Pinephone UBPorts edition is on order: https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinephone-community-edition-ubports-limited-edition-linux-smartphone https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinephone-community-editio... . I expect it will be quite a bit unrefined initially but I hope to give it a fair try and contribute if possible.
- Hnrobert42 6y agoOff-handedly casting Google and Apple in the same lot with CPC sponsored phone companies is absurd.

If you believe they are the same/similar, I encourage you to write an article about it and post it for a discussion here on HN. If you let me know, I’ll happily respond there. Otherwise, I will assume you agree with me.
