#Google Is Closing Android: And Taking Your Freedom With It
The #Android story is a warning: when you depend on a platform built by a company whose interests diverge from yours, you eventually lose. The solution is not a different Big Tech provider, it is infrastructure built on fundamentally different principles.

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow @EugeneMcParland Actually, you have to buy an OLD Google Phone (Pixel 10). The Pixel 11 can't run Graphene because they remove memory tagging.
I ran Graphene for a day and realized I wanted all the Android stuff so I reimaged my 10a to Android 16 and transferred everything. Couldn't do that with Graphene.

@EugeneMcParland Anyway, when you ask an AI to draw an hand in your ad, specify that human hands typically have five fingers. Just to say.
