I tested Microsoft’s new Android phone in Windows File Explorer feature and now can’t imagine how I lived without it.

    I got into using Android from the beginning to break free of Microsoft

    Wow. That’s like saying you got into cholera because the plague is worse.

    If that isn’t proof that the corporate surveillance dystopia has become completely unavoidable, I don’t know what is.

      Android was released in 2008; And Google wasn’t the behemoth it is today. Microsoft had already shadow-funded multiple companies to try and destroy Linux, as well as many other horrid practices; like inventing ActiveX

      Android is Linux under the hood, and open source at that; so I run an Android distribution stripped of Google’s influence. Notice I said that I got into Android and not Google.
