It's feeding the demand. I have a second hand Pixel for GrapheneOS to compromise without being compromised. Was degoogled with Lineage for many years, but it was becoming too much of a problem. I'm not happy owning literally a Google phone. Felt I had no choice. Really, regulators are needed to sort this out. Consumer choice doesn't work with dualopy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) Ideally we'll eventually switch to a Mobile Linux OS in the future, such as postmarketOS, as that would not be beholden to corporate decisions like Android is with Google. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) Which phone works completely on postmarketos? Looks like only librem5, which are expensive, especially for the spec. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 1 point 6 months ago* No Linux OS currently supports many models of phones, and the ones it does support, it is still quite janky and not ready for a general audience (calling is often flakey, phone apps are pretty glitchy, etc). The best we can do at the moment is either donate toward those projects with either money or code (if someone is able to) to help get more hands on it to polish it up and expand support for more phones. GrapheneOS is currently the only really polished privacy respecting mobile option that the average user can realistically adopt. permalink fedilink source parent
