    If you own a physical object and it has an internet connection than you don’t actually own it.

            Congratulations, then you aren’t. On another note, how does Linux on a phone look like? I thought Ubuntu touch was still pretty far from daily-drive capability.

              Ah I was just referring to my laptop there. I do still use Android, but with LineageOS instead of my device’s stock image.

        You bought it but you don’t own it. The companies that made them can always decide to reach through the internet and rearrange them better to their liking
