  • Yeah, I got tired of being the product. It used to be Google phones were significantly cheaper, that’s just not nearly as much a thing anymore.

    Then you have to take the additional steps of finding privacy focused roms etc… It just wasn’t worth the savings to me. There’s things about Android I miss, but the fact that my phone is good for years and years is such a game changer.

    I have been gradually transitioning over to proton for additional privacy and I’ve basically completely divorced myself from Google at this point.





  • Serious answer:

    I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I’ve found it to be personally beneficial.

    I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don’t know that I ever will again.

    My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.

    I wouldn’t feel bad using a pejorative for fascists. Neither do I feel bad using a pejorative for other authoritarians. Their disrespect for human dignity, liberty, and worth disqualifies them for protection against such a minor indignity.

    Tankies is fine for anyone on the side of the tanks at Tiananmen Square.
