Okay, this is not an iPhone vs Android Phone debate. I respect your right to choose whichever platform that you want.


I mean, iPhone seems so antithetical with the idea of freedom. You have to connect it to a server to even use it, all apps have to go through a centralized server, no option to install whatever apps you want, which means, you literally cannot have any third-party apps without an online account.

Most of my fellow americans seems to love the idea of freedom so much, yet just buy into a closed ecosystem with no freedom? 🤔

Like almost 60% of Americans use iPhone, kinda weird to preach freedom when you cant even have an app without a corporation’s approval. If it were any other country, I wouldn’t find it weird, but for a country that’s obsessed with the idea of freedom (so much so that they disobeyed mask mandates), it’s really weird to be using a device with zero freedom.

    Whatever you do, make sure you never try any of this at home kids.

    It is super dangerous and frankly illegal 🤡

      It’s…. Not illegal.

      You fuck up your boarloader you brick your phone. That’s not that dangerous, plenty of ways to do it safely.

      When I talk about “risky” I mean that your bootloader is now cracked and any one wanting to suck off your data has had 90% of the work done for them.

        Not sure what you mean by cracked

        Yes it is unlocked if you are using LineageOS is

        But it can be locked with GrapheneOS or calyx

        You can buy phones with eOS? Also has a locked bootloader.

        There are other options too
