I'd recommend CalyxOS as a replacement os.

No google code at all to get full functionality of your hardware (excluding Google pay, but graphene doesn't have that either.)

Anything you need, e.g. swipe typing or advanced camera features, you can install Google's versions and block their ability to talk to the internet via the built-in firewall.

Fascinating stuff.

I do think there will eventually be pushback against the current oligarch model of technology, but it is likely I will be much older when it happens.

Just the nature of history. We are pretty early in the information age.

I remind everyone that Google invested not once, but twice in this company, for a total of $350 million

Do I want my face in ads? No. Not at all.

Would I want this same tech used to character swap myself into movies, or just swap actors in whatever? ...okay yeah that might be kinda fun novelty.

Someone at Samsung submitted a user story only to troll, and it worked "I need you to drain my phone battery and data plan for ads when I dont even look at it"
