I am greatly displeased at the smartphone industry. I think it’s time for a heavy handed crackdown about all the spying they’re doing. The smartphone industry and in particular the company qualcomm I find an intolerable company in their practice, I believe they should be smashed, their equiment liquidated and their intellectual property destroyed.
The smartphone industry is a festering cancer on general computing, a persistent and pernicious assault on human rights. An invasion of our private spaces. A colonization of our lives.
I think it is past the point of reform, not that there are any regulator with to intelligence figure out what is wrong let alone the wherewithal to do anything about.
For those reasons, I think global thermonuclear war is our only realistic option for setting back the clock on this travesty.
I am willing to hear your alternative, I don’t believe anything short of that has a snowball’s chance in hell to change anything about this.
I feel your frustration… though a decent phone w/o locked Android shouldn’t require global thermonuclear war I hope!
I stress about what phone, if any, I’ll be able to install a non-bloatware, rooted, vanila OS on once the models my wife & I have become too ‘obsolete’. (OnePlus 5T with LineageOS).
It’s still a Pixel with an AOSP distro. Lineage is fine.
