TL;DR: Out of iPhone, Pixel, Android, AOSP forks, and GrapheneOS, the answer is GrapheneOS by a country mile.

Nobody seems to recall that this community was created as an r/askreddit clone, so now it’s become a Lemmy support* / catch-all community.

*Which is what !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml is for.

In the future, please note rule #3 of the !asklemmy@lemmy.ml community: “Not regarding using or support for Lemmy.”

The AK-47 is a specific product from the class of assault rifles, whereas “rice cooker” product class, not a specific product of a class.

Big deal, they have a tower just like this in Vegas.

The particular one I believe they are talking about is not conspiracy theories. Second Thought: Americans Are Being Watched (and it’s getting worse)

If you don’t want to run your own DNS server/Pi-hole, you might consider NextDNS.

The rise of the megacorps was in the late 19th century as imperialism, otherwise known as “monopoly capitalism” or the Highest Stage of Capitalism.

The stage we’re in now is a further advancement known as neocolonialism, which began in the mid-20th century. You might say that neoliberalism and the rise of neoclassical economic hegemony are closely related to neocolonialism.
