Stallman warned us.

He was unable to suggest any pragmatic alternatives. He just said "I don't own a smartphone", ignoring the fact that many people become very disadvantaged without one.

The real heroes are the people that facilitate alternatives, not those who talk.

I know quite some people who live this way, and are very willing to overcome inconvenient hurdles to avoid having to use such a spying device.

This is kind of a lazy approach, and it's a good thing Stallman did not have that attitude towards personal computers.

But it's a bummer that there's no real equivalent for mobile devices. I use an Android device and I already consider it to be more locked down than Windows. Generally more irritating than Windows as well (maybe not Windows 11)

I also use it as little as possible (unfortunately more and more things require it) and try to get the smallest functional (for me) Android devices.
