Stock IOS is probably more privacy friendly than android. Googles entire business is to make money off your data. Stock android uses google play services that have access to pretty much everything on your phone. Apple will bend to politicians on scanning your files and shit, but at least they (probably) aren’t selling your data. As much as google at the very least.

But like many comments here, if you actually care about privacy, stock anything isn’t the way to go. I use calyxos and find it to be a good balance between privacy and usability. No android auto, but banking apps work and from what I’ve read you can use garmin smartwatches or other similar watches that use their own app and smart watches that have been added to gadgetbridge https://f-droid.org/packages/nodomain.freeyourgadget.gadgetbridge/

Some people don’t like microg, but I believe you can use calyxos without it. (Not sure if that will break banking apps though).

A lot of linux platforms are pretty plug and play now unless you’re trying to get a programming running that wasn’t built for Linux. That’s why I think both Linux and proprietary operating systems have their place. Its just too bad not everyone makes their stuff for linux. It’s definitely getting better though.

I’m between conservative and paranoid and watch mental outlaw.

It could also be people who spent all this money to go to school for useless degrees and when they find out their “gender studies” degree doesn’t make as much as an actual useful degree they also get upset.

Regulation is what makes “capitalism” a bad system. Free market capitalism is the only good form of capitalism.

Ehh it’s probably mostly kids who have been handed everything to them their entire life and when they realize they need to start providing for themselves after their parents kick them out of the basement they get mad because they don’t want to do anything but play videogames and get paid. They don’t realize the only reason they have videogames to begin with is because of capitalism.

I believe frameworks firmware is open source as well. If money was no object I’d go framework. Modularity and reparability are unmatched. I love that I can just take the camera and microphone physically out of the laptop with ease. I really wanted to get the 16 but its just simply out of my budget. Hoping the price will come down over the next few years.

No. Not needed for the most part if you aren’t downloading dumb shit on the internet and keeping things up to date.

No I’m not removed

I really like wazuh. Its such a well put together product and feels like enterprise software. One of the best cyber security tools there is.
