1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Same, I wish there was a better options. I'm on android right now but when it comes time to upgrade I always try to choose the lesser evil and it's hard.

    If you want privacy the only real option is to buy a Android phone with unlocked boitloader and use something like /e/OS or LineageOS, that will break a few apps but most of them work fine with MicroG.

    Said Android phone would still use the towers and cellular carriers love selling customer data, because what're you gonna do? Switch to another carrier that happens to also use their exact same towers?

    Those can't collect much beside my location tho and they aren't allowed to here unless the cops tell them to, not perfect but a LOT better!

    To buy an android phone that is supported by one of those projects. My galaxy s20 isn't and I'm not willing to loose Android auto and the ability to use my cameras.
