Im stuck with an s23 for a while yet. Is it even worth the trouble of trying to use f droid, shutting off google play services and disabling all the other shit on my phone, when at its core its all spyware?

I really wish an alternative existed that wasn’t just a prototype or $1000.

    I just got a new phone when my old be crapped out on me while in Vietnam, and the local guy I found who deals in cash only had iphones or Samsungs. So, I held my nose and got a Jump2.

    I’ve been through, disabled as much as possible, added fdroid stuff for all the daily use things, and put a killswitch VPN on.

    Seems to be doing alright … I’m not obsessive about security, and I need Play Store stuff for work, so this is about as good as it gets, lol
