Just buy a new phone. Don't waste your life micro-managing malware. Spend your time on making money to buy a new phone.
Downvoted by broke bois but they ain't finding privacy anytime soon
Good advice but people have to suffer to learn these lessons.
Example: i spent years fighting windows but linux "too complicated" ... instead of wasting years learning linux i was running scripts and editing registry which always broke the OS eventually... rinse repeat...
This is the thing that gets me about that level of user. I understand basic users who dont care prefering windows, but I always kind of found it amusing to watch people "Linux too hard booo CLI.........now excuse me while I learn to manipulate the registry, and run scripts/disable certain things via the checks notes CLI."
Are there actually Windows users that say Linux is too complicated but then jump through hoops with registry even CMD prompt?!
I can't speak to how often, but it definitely happens.
Its a perception thing, they see it as "I dont have to'learn' anything I just follow these tutorials" even though a similar amount of effort would get them through the few commands they might need on Linux.
