Peace be with you, F-Droid Community. ๐ŸŒน

As many probably know, Google will block Android starting 2027.

Here is my hope: Google has shot itself in the foot with this Darth Vader move, because many People who loves privacy will now switch to de-googled systems, because ( Since to my knowledge), the blockade won't affect those systems.

So this is just my Openion and my HOPE.

What's your take on this?

And I kindly say to all developers: Please don't register in Google.

There are so many people using de-googled systems now, including myself. Please keep going for us, and four you too. Please

Best wishes from Germany ๐ŸŒน

I'll be serving as the tester for a de-googled phone, hopefully, next month for my family. If all works within expectations, we'll be moving towards no google phone until the end of the year.

I'll be getting a Murena phone.

    That's great to hear. Good luck! I wish I could de-Google my family too.

    I'm currently testing /e/OS from Murena myself, but on a Fairphone 6, not a Murena device. The system itself is fine. Takes some getting used to, but no problem. Hope you enjoy it =D

    I haven't had any problem on my Fairphone 6 with eOS except Android Auto wont work without the Play Store installed. I do miss being able to split screen apps like I could in stock android, but that's not exactly a "problem"
