Did I say otherwise?

Iran has been authoritarian for as long as I can think.

The situation there is terrible while the Iranian people are amazing, but things getting more insane each day/week is indeed a USA thing. In Iran it now is more of a every few years cadence.

Wunderakku: Donut Lab demonstriert ganz normale Lithium-Akkus - Golem.de

Mit viel Ironie will Donut Lab davon ablenken, dass sein veröffentlichter Testbericht den eigenen Aussagen widerspricht. Es ist Betrug.

I know that you think that, I asked why you think that. Don't mean to sound rude. But having read all of Apples privacy policies and Googles single privacy policy, I dislike them similarily, hence my question.

Also One UI is a superset of what makes Google Android bad.

@ryanroberts
Why do you think iOS is much better?

The system apps send telemetry in an opt out fashion and IMO Google is way more transparent about their data usage than Apple with Apple Ads where you have to search through many different privacy policies to find out what is being sent and what not.

I think ultimately it is about blindy trusting one company while not trusting the other. I however take the stance of not blindly trusting any company, so Android and iOS are similarily bad.

@supermeiaman @Techaltar For video creators, Linux doesnt make much sense due to software support. Also I think he is using only a windows-only laptop, so even more issues there, including making dual booting annoying to get set up.

@[email protected] The EU is transparent enough for you to know they want to monitor your chats. Why do you not trust them to be transparent about these WiFi hotspots? Especially when ISPs are comparatively intransparent and sometimes straight up shady.
