this is the false choice we get presented by these evil companies: we have a duopoly where you choose between surveillance but having control (Android), or having no control but no surveillance (Apple). Both are horrible in their own right, but there’s no open alternative that’s viable for mobile at the moment.

For my part, I bought a Linux phone recently. Hopefully at some point I can find the chance to find places to contribute and make some contributions, although first impressions are… unideal. I would’ve hoped it would move past Android 2.x era performance - but then again it’s in need of people to contribute and improve it, so I oughta do that. As should others interested in carving out a better mobile option!
