I want to mainly use it for privacy over its "security". I don't know what makes everyone fine with running it on fucking google pixels. Is there some kind of "low security" version or something for other phones? I'm so tired of certain organizations infiltrating privacy communities and making people believe in improving "security" by voluntarily giving up on privacy and using even non free software like that insecurities blog and other people.

Hmm... is your data worth 300€ every 3-4 years? This would indicate not. There are probably other sources, but 100€/year for your data = ~8€/month for your data. I'd find that hard to believe, but will gladly be proven otherwise.

In any case, even if it were > 100€/year, giving them that amount is like a present despite trying to degoogle yourself.

You are thinking the wrong way a phone like pixel would cost that much to make, transport, advertise etc in fact i think pixel is the best hardware you can get in that price range and google is only selling it at that price because they wanna be big in market and also tgey can bloat their own software to the phone aldready .

Are you aware of the context of your own discussion? You're arguing a completely different point.

May I ask why you put a creative commons licence link in all your comments? Is it because of Reddit's recent activities?

It is indeed because of AI training, but it wasn't prompted by reddit as I've been doing it for longer than the recent announcement. It was prompted by CoPilot (Microsoft/Github's AI for coding). There's an ongoing case about them using licensed, opensource code that hasn't been settled yet.
