By not using GrapheneOS obviously.

Also GrapheneOS is about security not about privacy or freedom. So GrapheneOS is just not really part of the discussion here.

    You're not disproving my point that there is no feasible way for me as a consumer to have a functional device without begrudgingly supporting either apple or android in their walled garden bullshit. No amount of "voting with my wallet" will fix this without a proper alternative

    It kinda depends on what you define as "functional" though. Because depending on that it is definitely feasible to vote with your wallet.

    In my case for example, I use a fairphone with lineageos and microg. This means I have to live with some minor inconveniences around banking and such. But, for me, this is a functional device and I can do everything I want to do with it.

  • Which is buying a new/used Google Pixel which is still supporting Google. Even if we got it second-hand, the development for GrapheneOS still depends on Pixel phone device and making it support the newer model which is still in a way, support Google as you still getting their product to then jailbreak it.
