Sure, some unnamed “centrist democrats” doing nothing about it is the problem, look at them everyone…

I hope so. But the app devs might stop if they don’t want to get certified.

I don’t know, Linux? But if they don’t want to get the dev certificate I doubt they continue to develop on Android.

The big problem is, I think many apps will cease to get updates as the devs stop developing on Android. Just running F-Droid is not going to solve this.

It has caffeine though, and a mix of other compounds that have a similar effect as an energy drink, so it would not help with sleeping.

I do not know, I hope it is there somewhere.

What should happen at this point is EU and European governments (and why not others) doling out money to do it.

The risk of the phone duopoly to Europe (among others) is too great now with the US already having succumbed to outright fascism and it’s tech sector running around rampant with blatant disregard for any kind of basic human rights. They all seem to correct themselves only after lawsuits and only in the EU sector.

Very insightful and interesting. Thanks. I am using GrapheneOS at the moment and only have read about the Linux phones. Of course an open android system that is decoupled from Google and their shenanigans would be great as well. But I am not very hopeful as Google has started a battle on several fronts…

If this comes to pass, f-droid might get closed as the userbase dwindles. Many apps will also cease to be developed and be left without updates. You will not get out with just updating to LineageOS. We should be looking at Linux phones at that point.

Yeah cool story bro.

Come on now. It is known to be Putin’s propaganda all over the world.

Cool story, but this is a Russian propaganda site. Just so you know.
