Get Google gone. Buy an Above Phone.<\/h2>\n

Privacy = Dignity. Get yours back.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last year I caught the world’s largest online retailer spying on me. Red-handed. With all the permissions turned off.<\/p>\n

When  I have to get a new phone, I spend<\/span> <\/span>hours<\/em> <\/span>going through the whole<\/span> <\/span>thing and turning off all the permissions I can for every app and account.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love boats. A friend of mine, who also loves boats, was visiting one day and said, \u201cHey, do you know what an astrolabe is?\u201d<\/p>\n

I had seen the word before, but had no idea what it was. He said, \u201cWell, I have one in my truck, come on out and I\u2019ll show it to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we were having this conversation, my phone was sitting in the same room \u201casleep\u201d.<\/p>\n

So we went out to look at the astrolabe. Do you know what that is? Do you think you know anyone who would know what that is? Have you ever even seen or heard that word before? It\u2019s an ancient navigation instrument that predates the sextant. It\u2019s so rare that it\u2019s like a code word \u2013 no one knows what it means.<\/span> So a couple of hours later, I opened up the app for this retailer to look for something, and there, right across the bottom of the screen \u2013 \u201cRecommended for you! Astrolabe\u201d \u2013 with a few pictures of astrolabes dancing across the bottom of my phone. <\/p>\n

The phone was asleep. The app was closed. The permissions were off. Maybe 9 people on the whole planet even know what an astrolabe is. It didn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

The idea that you can preserve your privacy by turning off permissions on your phone is a myth. It\u2019s a lie. You have NO CONTROL over the spy device you have bought and drag around with you all day. They aren\u2019t ready to admit that you are a crop yet, at least not publicly, so they have to make you believe that you still have some control. After all, we still have guns, and it\u2019s way past time for the psychopathocracy to swing from the bridges, so they are still a little afraid we will wise up.<\/p>\n

So there\u2019s the truth, and it was either get rid of the stupid phone ( I really want to. It\u2019s not time, yet, but I hope to at some point.) or find another way.<\/p>\n

There are a few things you can do to blind your phone, and I did some of those, but then I found the Above Phone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Above Phone is de-Googled. It uses an open-source operating system and open-source apps. It is set up for privacy. I have had it for several months now and I love it.<\/p>\n

There is a tiny learning curve, but I don\u2019t think it was any big deal. There is no guarantee I\u2019m not being spied on, but I understand that you can wreck the Above Phone\u2019s privacy feature by loading some of the \u201cconvenient\u201d garbage on it everybody uses, so I don\u2019t do that. <\/p>\n
