    I was already thinking of getting a Linux phone next, this is helping to seal the deal. Fuck Apple the genocide enablers.

      please do explain how Apple is doing anything here. If Israel wants to provide their military with iPhones they’re going to no matter what Apple does.

          This is an American company. They will do what their leaders from Israel want because no company seems to have the stones to tell them to pound sand.

          That still will not stop a nation state (especially Israel) from getting their hands on Apple devices.

        Android is technically based on Linux so maybe go with a custom ROM like Grapheme? I’ve found the experience on it to be enjoyable personally and feel a lot better about my security even if I don’t lock it down as hard as some people.

        Having to rely on webapps is a pain but Steve Jobs was right after all.
