@MishaalRahman They're playing the open-source card lmao
Android is in practice not open, because if you exercise your freedom to modify the thing they will use their monopolized app distribution/api platform and trusted computing BS the devices come with (again, thanks to their requirements) to exclude you from using apps that should work, no questions asked
Using the hands of other companies for it just shows the monopoly power they hold
Also idk, the word "radical" isn't painting the picture they want, non-radical action clearly didn't do us any good so far
