It has enabled hardware manufacturers to lock users into a purely profit driven perpetual upgrade cycle. <br/><br/>Why can I install Linux on 15+ years old hardware, with ease, and use it with modern software, yet I cannot do the same with a mobile phone or tablet? It fuels an ever growing pile of electronic waste.<br/><br/>What I ultimately want from my mobile devices is the exact same freedom I have on my desktop. <br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1huw9tr0cwmrnezvkg439zpqydp9sws2hphv0z6w6dlzus04ft59s6jc5x7" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Neil Brown</span> (<span class="italic">npub1huw…c5x7</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1kwarc5z9lwhen05uknd2nuwhhthd4ws0cku3t9j3rchm0fcd6luslse0nj" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>GrapheneOS</span> (<span class="italic">npub1kwa…e0nj</span>)</a></span> 2026-02-22T11:01:48Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp2452pzmjrjn8rz8auqqn9qfkeynwgw33n43avc07sq7uq7cupcgzyrxz472qddh3ypf9hh39jtpcrs2k4y9tmsqhmqwh447ut6l5a59m6zgxnq5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfntrt2zr7e7wh4hgxx6ua309asng5dl77u35hz8nwanfs842jj2qkn6u74'>nevent1q…6u74</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hopefully this will give #FOSS devs an incentive to shift app development to #mobilelinux if Google pushes ahead with this. <br/><br/>There ARE alternatives.
