Reinstalled PostmarketOS on my Pinephone Beta.
It looks like maybe it was a bootloader error in the previous/last upgrade that might have sent my phone into 120s continuous reboot.
Maybe it was something else...

Replaced Files by Google with Material Files today. Also Gmail & Google Drive is gone. I'm use OSM over DDG, replacing Google Maps.
Will likely only work for 90 remaining days, while google sorts out it's infinity crisis on billions of phones core. Where they intend to force billions of phones to close source and force feed Google data to sell identity incl., bank, mine identity incl., bank, train AI, etc. ∞Evil company.

@michaelwest.com.au Absolutely DO hold back AI!
Only a [censored] [censored] would tell the government not regulate AI.
If we aren't willing to proliferate nuclear weapons, then we should definitely not proliferate AI. AI should be held in the same category as nuclear weapons. AI is a weapon of mass destruction!
Just discovered Ubuntu Ports has an Ubuntu Touch flash compatible with my former daily driver.
This might be worth exploring, despite not being a functional phone in my country. i.e., all phones must be compatible with VoLTE 4g (minimum requirements for phone calls). I might be able to set it up as a server.
100% degoogleifying might be possible with Ubuntu Touch in alternate mainstream phones, where Postmarket is currently lacking development.
Google's business model put succinctly.
"The friction with degoogled users is not a bug; it is a feature of a system designed to maximize data extraction. When a user refuses to participate in that extraction, the system treats them as a threat to the revenue stream."
Nietzsche write:
"Google is Dead! To remove oneself from monopolistic, centralised digital systems is to be freed from corporatocratic constraints, making transcendence possible through FOSS development and overcoming trackers and ads. One must embrace eudaimonism to cultivate discipline, creativity and responsibility that utilises true user-centric, privacy-respecting, data-sovereign software without reverting back to centralised corporate networks."
Inside my phone there are 2 or 3 people.
1 of them is having a freak out because I disabled and/or deleted a bunch of their programs. It's is Google.
As I remove core components of Googles system, and replace them with FOSS (eg Fossify Messenger) or privacy and data secure software (eg Protonmail).
Gotta say the freak out is a little annoying. I can't block their pop up notifications occur every 20 seconds.

Oh the funniness of this closing of the Android system.
This marketing capitalist gives us insight into how other capitalists see googles sweeping changes as they close Android. Google has all the power
He does make Android closing sound pretty darn good.
But don't forget this centralises all your data to be only google controlled and owned.
Also, it means that Graphene had to G.O. some-place-else. Luckily, Motorola decided for 2027.
I hope Google gets a €50,000,000.01 fine per device they've forcefully installed malware (Googles Gemini AI) on.
"Hanff has formally accused Google of violating European privacy regulations by compelling users to download a significant volume of data without their knowledge or consent."
"Given Chrome's billions of users, the total number of [infected] devices.. [...]. ..hundreds of millions or billions of devices.."
End of Google!🙏
