I don't trust lemmy.world because of their banning of piracy

Apple does still spy on the users (like scanning their files to pretect the children)

Technically you're right, but I guess op meant that that freedom let you degoogle the device pretty easily, which turns it so much more private.

That is what I meant

If you root a phone then you can remove alot of insecurities and also if you unlock the bootloader you can install something more secure like calyxOS

That's definitely illegal

An OS is as secure as the user. Android gives the user freedom while iOS is very locked down

No? It's not their hardware and even if it was they can't force you to use that hardware. I'm not sure about the laws around it but I do know schools can't force you to agree to contracts (such as EULAs)

Can iOS be bootloader unlocked? Can it be rooted?

Did it actually delete everything

Mine too, but it wasn't forced on me. All of my classmates use whatsapp but not having too deal with all the needless stuff on there is great in my opinion

You're assuming they have a google pixel, also the grapheneos founder isn't trustworthy

If you use discord on a seperate user profile, you're still using discord, they still get your data. Sandboxing isn't a perfect solution

The correct thing is to refuse, it is your (or your parents) legally owned hardwarw and they can not control it. They can't force you to sign privacy policies

The fact that people are saying to comply with what your school says saddens me

Refuse. They can't force you to use it. If they want you to use discord, say you only use matrix. If they want you to use chromeos, say you only use GNU/Linux

Does your butt do either?

Ummm.. akshually your butt just distributes the matter, it doesn't create it

I prefer to use usb-B to micro-usb cables instead of ethernet

Tell that to the japanese in WWII wasting manpower by forcing their people to kill themselves

XMPP with XEP 45 > discord

It's still so much better than any of the chat clients that came before it.

Doesn't make it good

I will never go back to the days of Skype, ventrilo, or TeamSpeak.

The fact that you didn't include IRC in this last as one of the "chat clients that came before it" makes me cry

Also, why would use Discord's website?

Because their app is their website in a wrapper

Your wifi is shitty because you are sharinf the 2.4G/5G bandwidths with everyone in your apartment, causing interference.

Use an ethernet cable

If you have a desktop use ethernet
