Hope the #LibrePhone project advances so there can finally be an alternative to the blobware bullshit that Android has become.
Keep Android Open

This is important. We already have a basic duopoly in mobile operating systems, now Google is trying to lock down their platform even more. Nobody benefits from this other than Google's shareholders.
Whether you are a device owner, a developer, or a public institution, this affects you and should matter to you.
Everyone can meaningfully help to push back.

Read this about the #librephone by the #fsf. It's a great effort but as someone who has been involved in at least 3 different phone efforts - it's a daunting task.
The biggest problem is the modem which is a black box and trying to reverse engineer that is going to be quite the effort but there is also convincing the cell phone tower operators to accept it as well.
Without creating your own network of sorts - you're only going to have limited success. This project also needs to work with govts
