    I know this is sarcasm, but I still have to also point out that companies literally conspire with each other to undermine the consumer’s ability to choose. Remember when Apple removed the headphone jack and Android vendors mocked their decision for all of one year before immediately following suit? That’s 100% intentional and planned from the start. They know we want to vote with our money, which is why they do everything they can to make sure we don’t have that choice.




  • Additional reminder that Google not only records your location minute by minute, they also record your motion activity through your phone’s gyroscope and know exactly what you’re doing (walking, running, biking, driving, playing sports, etc). You can view all of this in your history. It’s genuinely infuriating that they can get away with this.

    You can turn it off in your settings, but as with any proprietary software you can never be sure that they’re not still doing it (why wouldn’t they? that’s just leaving profit on the table)
