For example, how do I know that the Samsung calendar app is any better than the g calendar app? Is the only way to go full open source (I’d prefer this, yes).
Also, should we stop using things like the default photo gallery? I have a feeling they steal data from that as well.
I know this is more phone related but I don’t have this issue on my pc since I mostly use linux and open source software.
Unfortunaly there no easy way to get rid of it easily since many spy things integrated inside stock os ,so only open source custom os + open source apps like from fdroid .only in this combo together it make sense
I agree with this. I almost just want to get a dumb phone for calls and a hotspot with a pinephone or something for everything else.
Be aware dump phones often include spyware and malware too.This is just ridiculous
