My ungoogled phone doesn't spy on me. My photos/recordings are safely encrypted on my phone, with metadata removed by default (unlike your camera/recorder which requires external unprotected SD cards). As for AI, i run them localy on my computer with free and open-source LLM. I'm not a normie. I know what i'm doing.

I thought so, otherwise you would not be on SN. ;)
Sounds good, but certainly outside the reach of normies. I think separate unconnected devices are a much simpler way to ensure privacy, otherwise... "Next" "Next "Sure I want Apple Cloud" is the path most will take, which is sad, because this really leads to The Matrix - humans end up essentially providing data to train AIs for the exchange of some convenience.
Disagree with SD cards being an issue though. That's like saying a physical photo album in my closet is "insecure". Except it is actually the best way to opt out - even if unencrypted - because it exists purely in an offline form.

SD cards and physical photo albums are still insecure to me. They are in the physical world. Unprotected. Anyone can have access to them, IF they come to your house. To me, digital is safer, but few people possess adequate knowledge to secure their stuff against all potential threats.

@ibz by the way...
Have fun being constantly spied on and mined for behavior data to train AIs. Have fun being in the matrix, basically.
This was a bit rude from you, and it's also a bit silly because you use Instagram, which is part of Facebook/Meta, you know, the ones who actively spy on people and mine their behavior data to sell more ads.
