    Privacy is not equal to security. With google/apple, you get security at the cost of privacy. I use a self-compiled custom ROM on my personal phone that contain sensitive data (a high -end Android with latest chipset-- OnePlus 8 Pro).

    As daily drivers/ normal usage I use a Galaxy S20 Ultra & iPhone 11 Pro

      True, I just have one smartphone, that I try to keep as far from my sensitive data as possible, not having any banking apps on it, like they always want you to have and not linking my credit card to any of the Google products. Also trying to use alternative apps that aren’t run by the companies who usually do the spying.

        Paranoid much?

        I cant imagine living w/out banking apps (I have a side-business // startup and I sometimes have to deal with on-the-go payments )).

        I probably earn more than you (no offense haha) but Im less paranoid about these stuff so why should you be lol? No offence again :)

            Please refrain from personal attacks. This is not the place to vent your personal/real-life frustrations, so I recommend that you see a mental healthcare professional (therapist for the layman) instead.

                Lmao I actually had a few laughs going through this guy’s post history, good troll, I rate it 6/10.

                And he even has a funny new community. Ok, I will bump it up to 7/10.

                Who is the troll here? It is you who is resorting to personal attacks and name-calling, so I’m 100% sure the ‘troll’ here must be you.

                Edit: @kixiQu@lemmy.ml Please take care of this user. I believe he is the same person who was harassing me via PM earlier.

                  You have reported that you received one message from a different account that was rude. You are also in this thread calling people paranoid, so… I will at this time remind everyone that we’re trying not to have Lemmy be a cesspool, so please try to be polite. I am not seeing anyone behave in a way that seems obviously banworthy.

                  Their account is 7 hours old which corresponds to when the troll above was banned, but that’s circumstantial. Their comments history, however, is factual. Please ban the troll.

          Nobody with grammar and orthography that bad is believable when they pretend they earn lots of money. If you want to troll, at least try harder.

            Altleast learn the meaning of the words before you make a clown of yourself by using them in a sentence on the internet. Perhaps then you wouldn’t comment with broken sentences.
