  • Me, critical about Google because they passed a deal with Israel against Palestinians

    You:

    you are just a Pro-Apple Pro-Israel supporter that hate Palestinians, you literally cannot claim to have the “moral high ground”.

    Ok buddy

    Apart from that, where did I say that would make Apple better? I asked for proof that Apple donated money to a fascist. I’m still waiting for that, because afaik it did not.

    Plus about you original comment, I don’t see any link with them not selling my data and being able to donate to a so-called fascist.

    1. I never said to buy a pixel, I merely refuted your claim of apple being “the good guys”

    I’ve never said they were. I was just saying what was my preferred phone for privacy and convenience. I also said I hated them. That’s straw man fallacy.



  • GrapheneOS tested and I ended up going back to Apple.

    It’s good in concept but in reality you’re just forced to used play services because most apps require it, but you lose mobile payment and access to some apps because you’re not running a whitelisted OS. App makers don’t give a fuck because custom ROM users are fewer than Linux users, and we all know most software and games don’t give a fuck about Linux users.

    Stock GrapheneOS also feels like a jump in the past in terms of UI and accessibility. I felt like I was always going out of my way to make it somewhat usable.

    The Pixel also has a battery that doesn’t last long and poor charge retention on idle (Android phones do be like that though). I found out that many tasks cause it to heat a lot. Something like updating an app takes ages and shows visual bugs, like no progress indicator.

    I hate Apple but at least I trust that they don’t sell my data to everyone, and they have a good UI.

    If the end it’s about how much you’re willing to trade your convenience for privacy. I realized I wasn’t ready.








  • I want to keep cookies to log in easily or to keep some preferences in specific websites

    I want to keep the history for autofill urls and stuff

    I don’t want to keep light theme by default, as well as fixed browser size, and I have to entirely remove fingerprinting protection for that

    At this point I’m just using LibreWolf with settings a lot of people don’t use. Might as well use Firefox with custom about:config entries…

    Its default settings are not good for everyday people, and even for privacy enthusiasts. They’re for paranoid people, at the cost of making the browser much less enjoyable
