Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's attack on ICE-spotting apps.

Which is why I stay away from Google's products too.

What do you use?

I tried pine phone, but it wasn't usable as a daily driver.

A random second hand smartphone, with a custom Android rom and no Google crap on it.

Also I'm constantly behind a VPN, just in case they can still get some useful data from me.

I consider that WAY better than buying a shitty iPhone

I guess can see how buying items second hand and flashing a ROM is not quite the same as buying a brand new phone running Android, but it seems unfair to then besmirch all iPhone users.

Did I really say anything about iPhone users? I suggested to boycott Apple and I stated that I don't use their products.

Then someone accused me of being an hypocrite, out of literally nowhere.

Not OP but GrapheneOS on a Pixel probably works quite well. Got independent app stores such as FDroid etc.

Still gives money to Google though.

From Ebay it sure doesn't. That's like claiming Nintendo gets a cut of second hand cartridge sales.

[–] limonfiesta@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That is what I use, but it still dependent upon Google, for both software and hardware.

While I look forward to Linux phones being usable, but I haven't had that experience yet.
