When I need a device I can completely control, I buy a device that I completely control. It’s not like there’s a shortage of options.
I would like to continue to be able to purchase a device that is well locked-down. If only for the benefit of my parents, who aren’t to be trusted to judge the privacy and security limitations for any given software.
Though, to be honest, I quite enjoy having next to no concerns about my iPhone and whether some malicious software is going to screw me over.

- swiley 5y agoPretty much the only phone you have real control over and can buy with any moderate reliabilty is the pinephone. There absolutely is a shortage. Oh sure you can put a hacked rom on an Android but you can do the same with the iPhone. Even then you don't have control because the closed drivers are coupled to the userspace and there's a bunch of crap you can't get rid of combined with Google play and you effectively don't have much control at all. > I quite enjoy having next to no concerns about my iPhone and whether some malicious software is going to screw me over. I feel the same way on my pinephone and also know I'm not getting screwed over by Apple.
