So much content & evidence available in that list. Hard not to take notice.
I did a write-up on SN last month titled Apple - love it or hate it? My biggest takeaway was how China may be using device-info to absorb user data, rather than what is stored in the cloud (which U.S. has relied upon to date). This data sharing is common across many companies however, so I don't think any corporation is going to have our interests at heart. It's up to us to help ourselves and use more private alternatives, if we desire them.

Stallman is strongly left politically. "T" in GNU Taler stands for taxable.

Stallman made a lot of correct predictions and did a lot of useful things. I respect him for his contributions even though he's among my political opponents.

I survived 20 years of communism, I know very well what am I talking.
Commies are a disease, no matter how nice they talk.

I guess he also never understood why anarchists like FOSS.
The word free is quite messed up in the English language. He rightly distinguishes between free as in free beer from free as in freedom, but free might also include free from governments and oppressive rulership.
In his mind big cooperation are evil but Western democracy are not. However big cooperation not really serving customers anymore are not possible without the latter (also called fascism). That is missing in his considerations.

Many people are confusing "freedom" with liberty".
Freedom means this:

Meanwhile liberty means practically a privilege for citizens.
Only sovereign individuals can have freedom.
Citizens have "liberties" aka priviliges.

Now I'm confused. I need a good phone and first I thought of buying a Pixel but this #499445 post made me explore other options. And then I decided for iPhone but after reading this I'm thinking that it would be worse than pixel.

If you can afford 2 phones: maybe iPhone for your "normie" stuff (things that are not the end of the world if your privacy leaks.. ) and a Pixel with Graphene or Calyx OS for Bitcoin wallets and other subversive things..

Thanks for the suggestion. Let me explore it. In my country Amazon has it? No it doesn't sell and I can't find any links for this product. Definitely it's not sold in India.

Pine64 is the manufacturer. I bought mine directly from them. I don’t know where they can ship to, though.

Unfortunately their M series are unrivaled in laptop quality, as far as my experience goes. Excellent builds, incredible performance, long battery life... does anyone know of an alternative? I was actually thinking about buying one for personal use but yeah, always reluctant to get into Apple

People like Richard Stallman and many of the early Linux figures have largely become irrelevant over the last 30 years. I'm going to miss the nostalgia.

Apple, strong hardware with crappy Orwellian software, run second hand Macbooks on Linux and swap your iphone for a Pixel/Graphene OS (and you'll make money doing so)

Apple is detestable.
It always has been and always will be.
What really gets me is all the stupid dongles they make for their products.
