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

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.
