Nostr Web Client

More than 4.5 billion devices around the world are dependent on two U.S. corporations: Apple and Google.

Apple has a monopoly on the operating system and app distribution.

Google has outsized power over the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and soon full control over app distribution.

Apple has the power to rug users and developers at any given time. The same goes for Android, with the upcoming mandatory developer registration and the progressive closing down of AOSP. Forks like GrapheneOS rely on Android remaining open source.

(The situation is different in China, but control is basically exerted by the CCP.)

What is the way forward?

"We’ve been working closely with the manufacturer to resolve the final details, and we’re happy to share that all FLX1s phones are now being packaged and prepared for shipment to customers. Once this process is complete, the phones, along with their cases and screen protectors will be delivered to our warehouse, where shipping will begin.

After your order ships, tracking information will appear in your order details when you log in. Please note that there may be a short delay before the tracking link becomes visible, as we receive this information from the shipping carrier and it can occasionally take some time to update."
