That's a sure way to get me off of your OS. FAFO I've already dropped M$ products.

Looks like I'm gonna just carry a stock phone, give it nothing but the most basic information and tether it to a laptop over a VPN. They stop tethering? I'll use VOIP and a hotspot.

Welcome back to 2011. Maybe messenger bags will come back into fashion in foss culture.

fuck google!

Who can I donate to that is working on making alternative OS accessible on android or iphones?

I know there are alternative OS already out there but they aren't as universally accessible compared to how Linux can run on any PC.

PostmarketOS is the biggest player. UBPorts (formerly Ubuntu Phone) is another. And of course there are lots of projects like Plasma Mobile, Nemo, or Mobian.

I know it’s not for everyone, but my Light Phone III arrives soon and tech headlines of late aren’t making me regret my choice.

If you have a non-Google build of Android on your phone, none of this applies. However, that's a vanishingly small fraction of the Android ecosystem outside of China.

Linux-based Android build when?

Wao, how is this going to work if now they are required by law to allow third-party stores in Android? What the fuck?

If Android sideloading needs to be verified by googld for "Security" then Maybe IOS seems like a viable option (except for the price and price to repair) but man i wish Linux on smartphones Has a good ecosystem of apps.

So looks like graphene is the future. Away from android and iOS. Any other alternatives OS and phone to look at?

[–] Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Isn't graphene having a challenging future because they have vendor locked themselves into pixel phones and said vendor is pulling the rug by not providing drivers going forward?
