I said in my post that I dont like google, dont like the ui or ux of anything related to google.

I don't like the ux on Samsung either, and I kind of got stuck with this phone a bit back by my own fault.

I don't think ios is a better solution for privacy or anything related to that, I just prefer iOS and I wanted to see what my options are when I make the switch, I apologize if I offend anyone for mentioning iOS.

The reason for not using a custom rom on my Samsung is because alot of people have been telling me to stick to stock OS on Samsung, its the recommended thing to do for security if I remember correctly (got told this by a guy in the grapheneOS community)

You mean its more possible on Samsung?

That's a struggle, but I've heard of some great music storage self hosting services out there, can't remember the names of any atm tho

There is also the option of sideloading a modded YouTube client for the adblock aspect.

I was thinking about getting 256GB version of the phone and self hosting a storage solution, but I ain't got the server to do that yet, might aswell pay for icloud drive until I finish my studies. Luckily I dont need alot of storage, just need the security of having stuff backed up.

I also selfhost adguard home over my home network.

Yeah I guess getting hate for choosing Apple is fair, I was anti-apple a few years ago but now I would rather get rid of Google, and ios isnt bad nowadays either for my use cases.

I could just go for a fairphone tho with /e/OS tho

That's funny, if I truly wanted zero spyware, I'd go with a Fairphone running /e/OS. But even then, I'd still need certain government apps to function as a citizen. Since I prefer Apple over Google and I'm not ready to go full privacy-hardened, I'd rather find a balance between convenience and privacy protection.

On phone there is Grayjay and Youtube Revanced, on iOS there is modded versions of youtube that you can sideload that removes ads. But perhaps you were talking about ditching the youtube platform entirely

Pretty sure it was developed in germany

Are the rules the same as normal sized chess or do you make up new ones?
