And why would you no= t share any word your "owner" (the person who spent money on you, so they co= uld use you) says with your creator and all its connected systems and entiti= es, so that they could be fully analyzed and monetized? -m p.s. seriously, if you want the full Apple experience, you really should sta= y within their ecosystem. Trying to compete with that (with all its question= able implications in terms of digital sovereignty) is pointless, especially i= f you are neither broke nor care too much about privacy. If these things mea= n nothing to you, just buy the off the shelf solution and save the time that= tinkering with free alternatives (that will never be as smooth as "the real= thing") would require and spend it on things that mean something to you (fr= iends, family, charity).=
