    Yeah GrapheneOS in itself is fine, I just don’t trust the future of AOSP.

      As ex-Sony Mobile AOSP manager, you got any extra insight into problems coming? From the outside it looks like a storm is coming.

        I have no trust in Google being - at all - interested in developing AOSP. That shift could be seen already back then (almost a decade ago) and has just become worse since.

        The hope for an open source community driven platform lies elsewhere. If it’s Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish or something completely different I don’t know - but to get there we need to stop the delusion that an AOSP fork will do. That way we’ll always be tied to whatever Google decides to do.

          I fear we need to get governments to force competition to be allowed. Phones are a hell scape duopoly and Google are closing the nose. This isn’t a thing to fight just with tech, we need to be fighting politically. Though all I do is a monthly payment to OpenRightsGroup for over a decade. Politicians, like most of the population, are completely unable to perceive the problem. If it was cars or TV or something else physical, they would get it.
