Fuck Google.Remember folks, there are other options to Android besides just iOS. Sailfish OS exists. Plasma Mobile exists. PureOS exists.They aren't going to provide the same level of experience. You won't be able to install apps that require more and more egregious attestation. You might even have to switch how you communicate and down the line as more developers bend the knee and turn on shit like Play Protect, change who you bank with or the services you buy.And you know what? That's okay. I'm not a personal liberty absolutist by any means, but lines have to be drawn somewhere. It's my fucking device, I will use it how I want.https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/google-will-block-sideloading-of-unverified-android-apps-starting-next-year/

@raccoon I would rather encourage wholesale alternatives. Android ROMs are...well still Android, obviously.

@me@joshuastrobl.social They are. But of the options you mentioned I don't think even one works well.I use linux as my daily drive and I would be excited for an actual linux phone, but I fear we're not there yet.
