Peace be with you, F-Droid Community. ๐น
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 ๐น
So, did I understood correctly that just getting pixel with GrapheneOS is way out?
it's a way out, probably the easiest and most reliable way, but not the only one.
Also you don't have to use graphene, it kind of annoys me that it keeps being pushed as THE option when lineageOS also works perfectly fine and has a long reputation as well..
Sooooo the way out, is to pay Google a thousand dollars for their phone......
If that's a bother you could get it secondhand
Still props up Google's phone business.
Yes. Bonus if you get it used just make sure it's completely unlocked. A carrier phone is not unlocked and is a pain in be butt to get unlocked. I can't remember what instance it's on but there's a graphene community.
Edit it's !grapheneos@lemmy.ml I know some instances don't interact with .ML though
What about Morena phones? I am at the moment considering what to do, I am ready and want to get for myself and my family, just don't know what.
@Newhere @greatwhitebuffalo41 I've been a #Murena #eos happy user since 2020. If you don't need Google, Microsoft or other evil ecosystem apps, you'll be fine.
The community forum helps a lot:

I personally don't know anything about them so I'm not really helpful for that I'm sorry.

I can't really say anything about that, sorry. I'm not familiar with GrapheneOS or Google Pixel. As far as I know, Play Services can apparently be installed in a sandbox?.... but I didn't quite get it either. So I can't say whether the system will be affected by Google's rules. Sorry I can't help further.
