you can always agonize about the perfect option over the course of a year after jumping ship!

hey don't hold back, i already bought another ~$110 USD samsung off newegg and put LineageOS on it haha making it for a friend

I won't nag you to switch until you have a second device handy haha that's when I did, but switched from a secondhand iOS device bought off a friend for almost nothing

Very true about Sweden and Netherlands for these purposes

So what do you use instead? Not iOS I hope LOL. LineageOS is the best option I've found. I'm not a Tech Philosopher, I want control over my device.

Yeah this is very true but I am trying to realign my more personal non business stuff away from all services like that

Ultimately they will require digital ID. No can do

Yes, they. The three ISPs he has to choose from. Context. He's not going to meaningfully opt out from dealing with the scale of the services Google provides online by choosing slower internet. We have to encrypt our traffic, secure our browsers and devices. And even then they will passively circumvent many of our efforts not to scrutinized.

In the end privacy is for me a way of judging the quality of my connection. But I do need a quantity of that connection, and if I'm going to shield my traffic obsessively anyways I'd pick Google Fiber.

We're picking between three companies that all collaborate with whatever law enforcement or spy agency comes knocking or visiting.

They're all evil man, just use a VPN in Russia all the time to really fuck them

I did not have any problems installing LineageOS on my Galaxy at all and it solves most of the issues you listed. Helps with battery life etc. It's not just mostly degoogling.
