    Don’t buy shit from the fruit store and degoogle your phone if it’s an Android. Maybe in the future we will have a fully featured linux phone that the masses can buy, but we aren’t there yet. Until then, degoogled android is all we realistically have for the normies.

    Aldo, Snowden? Hadn’t seen that name in a while. It’s a pity no country besides Russia gave him amnesty.

      Tbf, he was on his way to South America (iirc) and they cancelled his passport stranding him in a Russian airport until Russia eventually did give him amnesty.
