Lemmy's development is to a large part subsidized by some kind of OSS fund.

Those companies do, and they maliciously manipulate them for their own profit. This is not on people, this is on toothless regulation.
Caring about the technology of an app more than about its privacy is really strange to me, but you do you.
If you had any idea about how it works, you would not compare them. If you had any idea about how hard Apple makes security research, especially without a Mac, you would not compare them.
But you don't know what it's about. Being a consumer does not make you an expert.
I love the pixel launcher but hate that you can't disable the internet connection of the Google widget. That means that Google tracks every single app you search and I can't stand that. So I'm using the buggy and apparently just as outrageous Nova :/
The Viking and Technical Museums in Stockholm are 100% worth a visit. I don't remember them being free though.
Also: Skansen.
Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. It hosts exhibitions about technology and humans and I was completely blown away.
Also they have a large 3D room where you get shown around our galaxy... That put me into an existential crisis for a few days.
You can't compare those two. First of all, Apple's walled garden makes it significantly harder to perform security research. Second, Android has a way larger ecosystem and is not a monolith, so of course there's gonna be more.
Apple = Apple, but Android ≠ Android.
You can collaborate on WhatsApp or Signal as well, both messengers are using the end-to-end encrypted Signal protocol. Even in group chats. Telegram is not E2EE per default.
Of course, with WhatsApp Meta collects all your metadata so they have a very detailed network of basically all the people in this world... At least without all their messages.
Messages are only end-to-end encrypted if you use the Secure Messaging option. Otherwise everything passes the server in cleartext.
That means that anyone with access to those servers can read your messages.
You're hilarious!
The firewalls are all backdoored too!
