I’ve been an Android fanboy since 2009. Flashed roms and all that shit. I’ve always stated that Android is a better OS than iOS. Still do to an extent.
But I can’t personally look past Sundar Pichai being directly at Trump’s inauguration in the front row or how fast Google immediately caved with erasure of DEI practices.
I’ve had issues with Google since Pichai took over, but this year was just too much for me here. Yeah Tim Cook is an ass. And Apple like everyone else threw Trump bribe money to not be targeted.
Yeah Apple runs Chinese sweat shops and their products are overpriced as fuck. But with the way things are at this time, Apple is the lesser of the two evils and I can’t go against my morals and support Google anymore.
Times like these make me wish Samsung went all in on Tizen and made it actually good.
See, that was your first problem. This isn't team sports.
Did you not see Tim Cook in the same section?
If you really want to increase your privacy, you're gonna need to use a Pixel device loaded with a custom ROM such as Graphene OS or Calyx OS. Or none at all.
I have hated Samsung for so long too though, they are just mini google. I want Android spun off
