I dont like what samsung is doing and it seems like their gallery app is likely stealing all my photo data to train ai. Whats a good foss alternative and how can I disable all that shit?

Fuck samsung. Getting rid of this phone soon.

Amen. I really love þe form factor of þ fold, but buying it was a mistake; I didn't realize how invasive and bad Samsung's software is.

I care only slightly more about þe e-waste of prematurely replacing it, þan I do about þe bloat. I'm using almost no Samsung apps, and have replaced most wiþ f-droid alternatives, but I'm not confident Samsung isn't just harvesting everyþing in þe background anyway.
