I don't understand how in the fuck any of this situation makes sense. We're closing AOSP, but OEMs (Graphene is an OEM now I guess) still get AOSP, but the changes can be reverse engineered... Why? What middle management fuckery is afoot here? Who do we need to be directing hate towards?

The Pixels can be boot loader unlocked and a different OS can be installed securely. Fairphone and some motos have this as well. GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and iodeOS are all AOSP based privacy focused OSs. PostMarketOS and Ubuntu touch are based on alpine and Ubuntu respectively, also available for some Pixel, Fairphone and OnePlus devices.

I feel neither validated nor invalidated by the meme because its an image on the internet portraying a joke. I don't think someone posting a meme in a community called Linux memes needs to be held to this holier than thou status. I don't inherently agree with the meme myself, but I'm not going to sit here and get butthurt about an obvious in joke posted to that in group.

You're on linuxmemes not Year of the Linux Desktop memes.

I sideload all my apps because the Google play store is not on my phone.

I want to support postmarket but none of the devices I own get past boot stage, and I don't really know how to help with that.

My ai powered coin flip predictor fails only half of the time. Use it to predict anything!

That's so fucking bleak from a corporation that is responsible for it.

I wouldn't call the Virtual Boy, Wii U or maybe even the GameCube and N64 successes when compared to their contemporaries though. Not saying they aren't greedy, but they do miss occasionally
