Google tracks Android users even with location services turned off.

Fuck Google & Apple; Are there any decent mobile operating systems that actually respect your privacy?

This is going too far and it gets harder and harder to opt-out from this constant spying... Gonna try Lineage OS this week-end

You can try Ubuntu OS

No

There are some half baked systems that sort of works and can do basic stuff but no full featured stable system to rival iOS or Android. Obviously AOSP is a thing so you can roll your own implementation of it or pick one made by someone else

Try Sailfish OS.

Definitely get Lineage OS been using it for a while and it's completely stable, you can even use it without any Google apps installed and since Android is open source you will not be tracked.

COPPERHEAD FUCKIN OS! Best os out there for privacy, comes with "all you need to do is configure" VPN and Proxy, no google services bullshit and Fdroid

I just got an ad on YouTube corresponding to the state I went to for Thanksgiving... Location is turned off...

@SHA-16384 You mean the Librem 5? Because it'll take a while until it releases.

@Kage @SHA-16384 I'm going to buy that phone.

@-red well it's release isn't far now. ^^ It releases somewhere next month.
It sounds like a cool phone, but I can't imagine paying 700$ for a phone.

@Kage Yeah it's a bit expensive. But after considering the alternatives, I'd rather have this phone.

On a related note..
Fuck Apple man.. for starting notch madness.. for crossing 1000$ for a phone.. Google too.. I hate them.
