I would love this. Motorola’s Android is one of the most vanilla.

It’s not as good as it used to be, unfortunately. Most of the bloat can still be uninstalled pretty easily (in my region, at least) but they have been moving away from the “stock Android” experience since the introduction of Hello UI.

Yeah it’s one of the reasons I prefer Proton. Not many VPNs offer that functionality now, unfortunately.

That’s rarely how donations work, though. Ultimately you need to have some level of trust that the people at the organisation you are donating to know a lot more about where, when and how your money can be effectively used than you do. Your pre-donation requirements/demands are extremely unrealistic and I’m not sure if people like yourself are genuinely delusional about this fact or if you just use it as some sort of moral bargaining tactic to never feel bad about the fact that you don’t donate any of your money to the causes you supposedly really want to.

True, they needed to expose themselves to more assassination attempts.
