>given that they made their phone platform specifically to not let you install your own operating system. ??? You can still install alternate OSes (eg. grapheneos) on their latest phones. >And now, they're making it illegal to install custom apps too: https://keepandroidopen.org/ Besides the questionable use of "illegal" (what are they going to do, send you to jail?), that's not even accurate. You can still install apps after a 24 hour wait, or no wait at all if you use adb. | ||
