This is your emerging self awareness.

Yeah, step two is to buy a Pixel with iPhone 11 level performance and just not give a fuck that Google sells my personal information off the back porch.

Nah, I don't agree with everything Apple does. Like the Vision Pro. I get that it's not a VR headset by Facebook and that it's a "spatial computer." I don't care, it's not what I want and I certainly don't need it. And the iPhone Pro... it meant something before, but this generation? Base 17 is all I need. The optical zoom is a lie (it crops its main camera to get you 2x zoom) but it's good enough for my needs. Never cared about the iPad, but my wife loves hers. HomePod is expensive but good (like Bose, though maybe not as good as Bose, I dunno). I like Macs. I like the idea that you can buy a computer and not necessarily be the product. Like yeah they all have telemetry, but I don't have to have Candy Crush on my Mac because King... well, I guess Microsoft owns King now? Bought them with Activision. Before, it was because King bought the rights to Windows 10 users. Macs aren't perfect, but they don't do shit like that.

I dunno, I'm not a brand evangelist, I just like what I like.

I was an Apple fanboy too, but with all the bootlicking they've been doing, I have a feeling they will create a backdoor for Trump admin to use. I've jumpe to Pixel 9a with Graphene OS. I like it so far.

I wouldn't go so far as to say a backdoor, but I do see them removing apps at Trump's behest. In fact they've already done so (and so did Google), the ICE stuff.

The future isn't apps that are curated by an app store, it's on the web where they can't easily control it. They'll need to block it at the network level, but a VPN could get around it. Then it's 100% on the user.

If Android fanboys could read they’d be very upset

I don't give a fuck what you normies do.

We're all on 7-year old Androids on Lineage. Upgrade, to what? Malwarephone 14? I'm good.
