100% fud from someone who has no clue, i will bet sats he is iOS user.
Discussion
i assumed so when i saw a forbes link.. but, now im curious.
Cope harder. I use iOS and Android.
If you use iOS why do you have Freedom, Privacy, Ethics on your bio? Apple is the oposite of those things, it's a fact (and you know it). To be honest, stock Android is just as bad.
You understand there are levels of privacy. You could also ask why am I on Nostr is I care about privacy. Or why do I ever go outside if I care about privacy. You don’t know how I use my iPhone and how I keep private. Using Graphene doesn’t make you private when you don’t act privately on the device.
Stock Android is just as bad yes. But Graphene isnt perfect. Degoogle term is a lie. You cant degoogle literal google hardware lol. Pixel phones are made from a company that goes against freedom, privacy and ethics too.
Yup, GrapheneOS on Google Pixel phones has seemed like a temporary strategy that has turned into a permanant one, but ultimately the hardware _also_ needs to be degoogled.
Pine64 and Librem and the two hardware options that seem to be on the right path there, however there is quite a bit of work yet in getting mobile GNU/Linux mobile ready, it's much closer though.
Have you ever used iOS?
Why would i use a closed-source OS from a woke bigtech that spies on me and gatekeeps what i can install on my own device?
Same reason many do. There are some things an iPhone can do that others can’t. Some can afford to have an iPhone despite the cost even just to use once a month for a certain task. People have multiple phone just like multiple computers or cars. You know I use Graphene OS too right?
Give me an example of something an iPhone can do that any Android can't. The cost is not the issue here, my Pixel 9 Pro Fold cost me $2100+. I do have multiple phones too, all running GrapheneOS, obviously.
There are many but I will name the most obvious. iMessage. Android cant help you there.
So you are using iOS (giving away your freedoms and privacy) because iMessages (spyware communication)?
Apple users NGMI.
Why are you thinking these examples are all me. Im giving you basic examples because you can’t figure it out. Im NOT saying this is how I use MY devices.
You need to understand people are even given iphone for work phones. Stop pretending like all your personal things have to be used with the least private phone. Are you stupid or something?
No, this guy is just hard headed, he doesn't realize that there's use cases for other technologies, even ones he disagrees with/doesn't use.
Even if I agree that android is better than Apple, I do, I don't think Android is some miracle in comparison to Apple.
They both have trade-offs, and I'm willing to take the android trade-offs over Apple's, that being said I do use both as well.
Right. I also prefer Android. GrapheneOS is great too. I use them all. I love third party app stores on Android. I won’t touch the PlayStore. If I need a normie app I trust the AppStore a bit more.
Wish I could zap you. You need a lightning address friend. 🤙
I might implement one next week possibly with a ₿0.002 (200,000 Sats) ($200) channel when my Fiat to Sats transfer clears on Strike.
I am doing it after I found out you don't need ridiculous collateral to start as I had originally thought.
I will explore with Zeus as soon as possible.
what a dumb example. it's like complaining that BMW cannot help you have a Mercedes
imessages is proprietary software
