Nothing special, just wanted to make a post because I'm extremely proud of myself today. Reddit was the only thing holding me back, and I'm happy to say that I've just deleted my 8 year old account. I'm now only using open source apps for my android and desktop OS and it feels amazing!

The police in my country use a device to break into phones and sometimes there’s a leak of which phones and OSes have the loopholes that the device takes advantage of. Idk if I’m explaining it well sorry. But the situation changes frequently because sometimes new loopholes are found and sometimes google or apple fix the bug that causes the loophole. Those lists only mention android and iOS versions thus with another OS you wouldn’t know if it has a similar bug or not.
