In my case I've hated Harry Potter, skinny jeans and Tesla long before that became popular to do.

Google. Been trying to de-google for over a decade. Many of my random asks for alternatives have been answered with "just use google, it's free".

Biggest problem is phones because I hate Apple more than Google. Every 6 months or so I look into linux phones, but walk away unimpressed.

I think the best you can do for phones is get one with good hardware and put a degoogled ROM on it

Yea, I've checked LineageOS and a few others out, but my phone isn't supported.

That's what I get for also hating selfie camera notches/cutouts. Most of the phones I get aren't popular models. If you know of one for the Nubia Z60 Ultra, point it out.

Thank you for this! Most of those bugs wouldn't bother me except for the no bluetooth audio. I'm going to keep tabs on this now that I know it's almost ready.

I actually just yesterday pulled the trigger on deleting all my contacts and calendar info out of google and now they're backed up to my webdav server.
