This day marks my end with android. Also helped greatly in ditching all US big tech.
Will my new Linux or whatever phone be technically worse? Probably. Do I care? Nope.
Fuck you google, from the depth of my heart. Go die in a forestfire.
Can't wait to get my Jolla phone.
Is it the ultimate solution?
No, but while postmarkeOS makes progress and receives money on a monthly basis from me, I can hope for a daily driver that can do the job until pmOS is ready.
I don't even have a good oversight of what's available. And it's useless as long as my pixel lives. When it's done, the market will have changed massively anyway 😁
But Jolla sounded nice. Right now I would want an Ubuntu touch. But that really is an uninformed opinion.
Only thing I will miss, no matter which I'd take, will be a great camera probably.
If your pixel is not too old, GrapheneOS can fill the gap to your next phone.
It's what I run right now.
While it's still Android, it can at least be had without Google apps.
Oh i already have it. The day google told their final date for closing down. Half my apps are my own and I sure as hell won't give google my real data and money.
Had to buy 2 other phones, one for banking (stupid ass lazy banks) and one for android auto (still better than onboard-cages).
All would be fine if their phones were free. But paying bigtime AND not owning? Fuck you
