Shopping around, seems like every option is doubling down on anti-user garbage... I don't trust myself to do a root or anything like that - my tech skills are juuust good enough to be painfully aware of my own dumbassery, but I'm doubting an out-of-the-box smartphone that isn't loaded with shit even exists.

Previously I've used Pixel and Galaxy, but those are both chief offenders.

No bloatware with Chinese manufacturers? Are you dreaming? Oppos, Xiaomi, and all the sub brands of the bbk group (vivo, realme, etc) come with so much bloatware that they are forced to include an aggressive task killer and Memory cleaner to make it work properly

OK, cool?

I don't have one of those, and the phone I do have is free of crap.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
