A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

After 10 years on Android, I just switched back. Because I admire Apple's commitment to privacy, and simply don't trust Google any more.
Yeah, about that:

The correct choice would have been a custom ROM for an Android smartphone, without any Google apps and services.
I need to use my phone for work, which means I can’t use custom ROMs due to our BYOD policies.
For me, iOS is still by far the better option, especially as I use privacy-respecting apps and services (Firefox, self-hosted Immich, etc).
Do you share your phone for work and private life?
Anti Commercial-AI license
Yep - not sure what point you're making, though?
My phone isn't used "primarily for commercial advantage or monetary compensation". It's my own phone that my company reimburses me some of the monthly cost of running, for being able to use it to contact me.
Work life separation is what I'm getting at. A work phone = used during working hours --> you can do whatever you like with your private phone. You can use a privacy respecting phone OS if you wanted to.
Also, places of employment probably have the right to control work phones. One of my jobs meant endpoint security was necessary to monitor and control the phones. A friend working for the government and another working for a bank actually had fellow employees get into trouble for the stuff they had installed on their work phones. Others actually lost data because their phones were remotely wiped prior to being fired.
I have friends with work phones and they use whatever was given to them for work, but as soon as work is over, the phone is off. The private phones they have do run privacy respecting ROMs like LineageOS, eOS, and GrapheneOS.
Anti Commercial-AI license
Yep. I get all that, but that’s not an option with my employer.
I’m comfortable with the separation I have, and iOS is key to part of that satisfaction.
How did you solve the issue of adblocking?
I have an always-on Wireguard VPN, and use my Piholes at home. So far, so good!
apple is as bad as googlethey are just lessopen about it.😬
