Thanks. Android claims to be "open source". Learning about this now.

Essentially it would be ideal to wipe the phone and run a non-Google or Samsung integrated OS. Right? Is this the idea?

Is anyone running Graphene OS on a Samsung? About to head down a rabbit hole of FOSS OS for android compatible phones.

Why isn't it like this already?

Are they avoiding malicious apps running people's phones like say Limewire and Kazaa files back in the day?

Oh you're showing us your uninstalled apps hahah. Got it.

Appreciate the sentiment. But IMO there is a larger issue here. The world needs decentralization of "power". And as long as huge centralized hubs exist (Apple, Twitter, Banks, etc) then misuse of power will proliferate. Thinking they will just play nicely is a bit naive.

This is the idea of a web5 or an interconnectivity where every user has their own Node of as much of their own data as possible. FOSS helps this.

It's about power and control vs freedom.

I like that Amethyst translates this automatically. I'm talking to you in English.

No. Happy thread. Today was epic and this is why we're all here. 🫂
