I would stop using Android but theres kinda no other solution. Apple? Hell no. Linux phone? Underdeveloped though intriguing. My best solution is to find a modable phone and install Graphene OS which is based off the Android Open Source Project and not Googles version of Android. Keeps Android de-googled, open source, and aimed at protecting you from google.
For other google services: DuckDuckGo instead of Google.com Protonmail instead of Gmail HEREWeGo instead of Maps NewPipe instead of the Youtube App Setup a Nextcloud Server instead of using Drive Aurora Store and FDroid instead of the Play Store Signal instead of any other messaging app Firefox instead of Chrome
Harden your device with things like general strict settings on privacy and security and keeping vpns up (good ones like NordVPN) as often as possible. A good one to have on mobile is NetGuard where you can block certain apps from accessing the internet at all so even if they wanted to send data they couldnt.
And then just replace the basic phone apps with open source variants. Things like calendar and calculator. Tibor Kaputa has a good open source suite of simple and open source tools on FDroid.
De-Googling is hard for sure but a lot more possible than people think.
Oh also get rid of social media like Twitter and Facebook... you dont need it. A lot of people are saying with Twitter to move to Parler which I love to see people move off Twitter but Id also love to see people not use any form of it at all.
i hate cell phones. i barely keep mine charged and often just cancel the thing.
like if i get a job and you expect me to be on call 24/7 id rather be fired. sorry.
also i dont like just being available even to normal people all the time. its fucking annoying to have clingy friends blow up your phone simply because your busy working on a project for a week and then start blaming you that your 'cutting them out' or some shit.
its like no, im busy.
seems easier to kick the addiction and go to a flip.
If that works for you then more power to you. I find it interesting to the point of being a hobby now. "How can I do this cool thing without any Google services" and whatnot.
If you must use an Android, the best idea is to not install apps on it. Use it for phone calls and games.
If you have email, web browsing, social media, you're on their list as a conservative.
Using Android is like a Jewish person using a Germany government phone in WW2.
Android is based on Linux.
Yes but its pretty disconnected at this point. When people say "Linux phone" theyre often referring to something running Ubuntu Touch or similar
Linux with Google spyware built in. They monitor everything you say or do. They know when you're taking a shit. They also hate you.
