   In summary, look at https://download.lineageos.org/ before buying if you want support from LOS. Sadly many buy the bling phone or cheap from far-east that is riddled with bloatware/spyware.

   LOS is a community effort. No regular company. No VC money. All volunteer.

   No. Bootloader unlocking not possible. From the Chief Product Officer Nokia -> https://twitter.com/sarvikas/status/910421837661790208 SIM unlock is carrier dependent if you are from the US.

   I think the OP meant SIM unlocked. Sadly Nokia android phones bootloader locked. Nokia's CTO statement: they would not be offering an official bootloader unlock method “due to security.” The only OEM consistently provides open code and

   Sadly for most devices it is impossible as many OEMs do not release kernel and firmware. Yes it may be a open source violation but try telling this to any OEMs. Search in XDA and you will see one of the largest manufacturer Xiaomi does not

    I therefore created a icloud and outlook account. Google allows you to forward all emails to anywhere. That way all three companies have to block you... Hope not

    No. It is opt-in. You need to type the 6 digit code from recovery email id into your settings.

    It is nothing stupid/spooky. Remember Google develops for mainstream. They are happy. Just enable 2FA all your issues will go away. Oh, try not to use shady VPNs.

    I seriously recommend all to try zero-tier. Especially the fine-grained permissions control is fantastic. It is the only one that went so far as fool-proof.

    You have the option of using Android for your phone Does the user have the option of changing to DuckDuckGo? Yes. And moreover AMP can also be hosted totally by your own servers. See Guardian.com AMP servers

    AMP can be hosted by 'YOU'. See Guardian.com 's own AMP cache. It is not google taking over the web. https://amp.theguardian.com https://www.theguardian.com/membership/2016/feb/24&#x

    Genuine question: Why do people view AMP as a threat, whereas many Apple's formats/compatibility are non-standard? Is it because many accept privacy over openness? Example: Apple news or iTunes or Messages

    1.Everyone need not sell their soul to Google but the majority did it 2. The same argument stands for Facebook. I wish there was a neutral platform but... 3. I wish someone like apple will take on AMP or search or cloud storage or cross-pla

    For all the criticism of Google/Gmail/AMP at least the spec is open. AMP allows me to browse with minimal data.

    Hmmm, how many tech journalists not use password managers? How many google employees do not use 2FA? Can anyone comment?

    You can do similarly in Germany. Startup visa €5000 ->after 3 years get Permanent Residency for entrepreneurs->then 4-5 years depending on your visa/naturalisation officer apply for citizenship.
