For the immediate future, I'll be all set with GrapheneOS.
Beyond that, I'll suffer whatever inconveniences I need to in order to avoid this bullshit. If that means I can't use my banking apps, I'll find a better bank, or use the web site, or just say "fuck it all" and stop banking on my phone altogether. I've already given up NFC payments. It's not the end of the world.
This will only become a bigger pain in the ass as time goes on, I'm sure, but I will die on this hill. I suggest that everyone draw their lines in the sand sooner rather than later.
this pain in the ass seems to be cyclic with regards to open source things. over the last 30 odd years of my being in the flow of doing my own thing with my own hardware, it seems like we hit peaks and valleys of "company does something frustrating" -> "community sorts it out". rinse and repeat.
it'll be bumpy but someone will figure it out and we'll start the cycle again.
I hope so. There is some apps that I've simply grown accustomed to using on a phone and I know will not be supported on a Linux phone
