@ambiguous_yelp @kde Fair point.
However, if we insist on using Android (forks), we're still impacted by Google's decisions. Sooner or later, these forks will be less and less of a valid option (cf. how google's changes to the Pixel 10 series were a pain for the Grapheneos team).
Even if this letter fails, we shouldn't simply stick our heads in sand and look away from these issues. As you mentioned, raising public awareness is critical. So is fighting against their control.

@rikviergever@mastodon.social There is this maintained list of banking apps compatible with @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social (security-oriented Android fork) (cf. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/)
Some devs behind the Norwegian BankID (essential ID confirmation app in Norway) are approving of GrapheneOS (cf. https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking-apps-compat-report/issues/255#issuecomment-2975599573)

@woltiv @CmykStudent While it's great the option is there, it shouldn't be opt-in, but set by default.
The more experienced users will eventually figure it out, but an average user might never get to see the native file picker in Firefox.
But OS and software consistency is important, especially to convince new users to stick to Linux!

@kde @ambiguous_yelp @plasmamobile Would more donations significantly help the project?
Or is the limiting factor the lack of contributors?

@Stem @kilgoretrout @kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen This mentality is exactly what brought us to this exact point in the first place. It's also what led to many major historical disasters (will do as I lack a better world rn)

@CmykStudent Amazing! I've been dreaming of this for so long 😍
Edit: Do you have an open PR or a link where we can follow your progress?

@Hellotux Happy to hear that!
Do you plan to release tank tops (for the gym) or "business" shirts?
Replying to
@GopherPete "Permacomputing", now that's a concept I've never heard of before.
Sounds particularly interesting!
Edit: Also while at it @frameworkcomputer @pine64 @pine64eu

@KellicTiger @ambiguous_yelp @kde @plasmamobile Actually, even if it goes against the concept of user freedom, I'd prefer all the efforts going into making Linux solid for a handful of phones, instead of trying to adapt the OS to many different brands and models.
Even better, exclusively work on something like the PinePhone and make it the flagship of Linux phones. Perhaps the Linux Mobile would then finally really take off?
