Not actually usable, but I found this entertaining to see.

    I’d rather not use iOS at all. Android is infinitely more customizable, powerful, and privacy friendly (with the right OS).

    On the topic of your braindead take in this. Make iOS open source first. It’s almost like opensource breeds interoperability and closed source breed cultists who think they’re better by default.

      Ngl open source also breeds cultists who think they’re better by default, but at least those cultists made the right choice

      Well, I wouldn’t call it a “brain dead take”. I usually keep an Android and an iOS handset and I view each with a set of drawbacks and payoffs. The former (usually) allows you to unlock the boot loader without drawbacks and the latter does not. The latter is exclusive to a set of hardware. So if you want to have iOS you’re consigned to using the hardware deemed acceptable by Apple — but if someone were to accomplish “the brain dead take” a whole host of hardware would be available to you. There’s utility to that for some people.

      Ok. Let’s be real now. Android without Google Play Services is not something that is even remotely useful for 99.99999999% of the Android users that is out there. Furthermore, if one or two of those users are your friends, then Google most likely keeps track of you quite ok anyways.

      Nevertheless, good for you managing to avoid all big social media, relevant messaging apps, dating apps, commercial services apps and apps using Google Play Services.
