    its frustrating that there isnt a good alternative to the android/ios dichotomy
    i mean there's grapheneos but they recommend you buy a google pixel 1st. ir there used to be so many options for phones. now next to nothing
    yeahhh a lot of those are restricted to older hardware that i never seem to have. all my smartphones keep dying before they get to that point

    yeah google seems to be obsessed with co-opting open source software: android (linux), chromeos (linux), even their browser is based on chromium which was an open source browser before google even existed
