I’m tempted to try Ubuntu Touch. But I want to buy a second-hand Fairphone 4 to try it on, and other OSes possibly - because I don’t want to waste the CalyxOS install that’s running fine on mine right now - and I haven’t found a good second-hand one yet.
The way Google is actively on the war path against deGoogled ROMs and sideloading lately, I expect to have to install some sort of mobile Linux OS on my Fairphone at some point to do my regular smartphoning while preserving my privacy, while having to buy an ultra-cheap, small smartphone on the side with vanilla Google spyware just for my banking apps. In other words, carry two cellphones for nothing. Because Google.
I guess now that fascism rules the land, Google isn’t worried about being getting broken up for being a monopoly anymore. That emboldens then to finally do what they’ve always wanted to do: lock down the Android ecosystem.
Fuck Google.
Yeah… Good luck with that. This is beyond naive.
Your rep doesn’t give a shit about monopolies or duopolies (if they did, Google and Apple would have had their collective ass Sherman’ed into a million itty bitty pieces a long time ago) and they don’t care about your privacy and how you feel about it.
All your rep cares about - if you’re lucky - is more mainstream topics like taxes, employment, housing, education etc. And more likely, all they care about is lining their pockets and winning the next election to line their pockets some more.
