I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to stop using Android. I don't need my phone. Sure, it's convenient and often helpful, but it's not something I can't live without. Fuck these assholes.

Are you sure you can't? Because when my phone was stolen last month, I came to terms with how much the modern world needs one to have one.

You mean how others need you to have one.

I put a clause in my contracts, and I also do it for social interactions: if anyone needs me to have a Google Party-approved phone, or a Google Surveillance-approved application, it's their responsibility to provide it to me.
