@xfts we had that - #vanilla #Linux fail on #Mobile before #Android even existed…

Android at least can be "#salvaged" through #forking and I think that'll be unavoidable now, with i.e. @LineageOS becoming the upstream for Android #ROMs like @GrapheneOS and @e_mydata as #Google enshittifies and curbs access to Android Sources...

Which is doubtful at best aka. "#TrustMeBro!" - level of guarantee…

  • Also #Signal's business is unsustainable as unlike @monocles they don't recoup operational costs from their users but act as #VCmoneyBurningParty, and that will inevitaboy backfire
