🚨 Google is killing Android freedom.

Starting 2027, unverified apps can’t be side-loaded.

➡️ F-Droid harder to install
➡️ Custom APKs blocked
➡️ Google decides what runs on YOUR phone

Google’s Android is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

It’s time to switch to open alternatives: Graphene, Calyx, Lineage. ✊

@Tutanota going further away from the android/AOSP-derivatives: another solution is Linux distributions on smartphones:

- I personally daily drive #SailfishOS for more than a decade (commercially supported versions of SFOS even have "Android App Support" running inside a container for "that one app" with no native linux port you can't get without)

- I've heard positive things about #postmarketOS and #UbuntuTouch (but don't have personal experience)

@dangillmor Why not ditch both Apple and Google and help support alternatives like #GrapheneOS or #SailfishOS?

They need support, users and funding. It'll come at the cost of some convenience (very little for GrapheneOS) but it'll grow these platforms and give them more leverage.

I just cannot wrap my head around how people think iOS and Google's Android are the only two viable daily drivers for mobile usage.

Help shape the next Jolla Phone!

We’ve got access to a modern 5G smartphone platform, and we want to hear your take on what the next-gen Jolla Phone should be.

What screen size makes sense? How much memory is enough? What are your must-have features?

No strings attached, just cast your vote and help us explore the potential:

This ties in with a lot of @bert_hubert's recent articles about Europe needing to become more independent from the US wrt technology.

Also @Mer__edith after the talk I mentioned #SailfishOS to you. Which is, IMHO, the only viable alternative to iOS and Android at the moment.

I've been using it as a daily driver since 2013. It's made by ex-Nokia employees after Microsoft destroyed it.

as some might recall, we were working on a feature to allow multi booting different systems easily and without any hassle ( partitioning etc).

around that time we started to get in contact with known porters of different systems such as #UbuntuTouch and #sailfishos

after much effort and work, i can confidently say that the #flx1 will be added to the #UBports installer and OTA server soon allowing allow bare metal and multi boot installs!
