I own a Pixel 7 and although not ideal, it's certainly better than most of the phones out there for me. The only downsides of daily driving a Pixel are battery drain and overheating. Granted, I live in a rather cold climate so I imagine it being not the most useful piece of tech for the folks near the equator...

It's been confirmed that Pixel 10 will finally get a non-exynos chip, so perhaps it can indeed become the pinnacle of Android smartphones, who knows.

This scenario still requires Google to play their cards right, however, but there's hope.

You are absolutely correct, you got both of them right!

Which is why I prefer NixOS (I use NixOS btw)

Say whatever you want, Snowden's a fucking hero for sharing this.

Thanks, that helped!

Thanks! No, that's exactly what I wanted to do :) I was just wondering if it's okay to have this many random requests, which seems to be fine.

I hate Windows, but this has never happened neither to me nor my friends. (Granted I only have like 3 friends who use it regularly)

There's a FOSS companion app for AirPods on Android and some features are "locked" until you press "Activate" and choose "I've spent all of my money on AirPods" as a payment method.

It shouldn't have been a while

Thank you for the extensive reply! This covers the question perfectly. Your comment made me realize that I am not ready to ditch some services at this point in my life. The good thing about privacy is that your decision is very rarely black or white. You can gradually flow towards more private solutions over time, giving up and replacing things you use little by little.

What he's talking about is probably that turning off WiFi via quick settings or whatever it's called doesn't actually turn off WiFi, you still have to proceed all the way to the settings app.

It's funny how you completely missed the point. Isn't it an obvious satire portraying people who pretend to be better just because they use a specific distro?
