     @feinzer@akko.airis.dev I'm not even interested in widespread adoption by the normie classes. As far as I'm concerned, the pedestrian normie can continue to be exploited and suffer. I just want something I can reliably use regardless of hardware. Maybe Linux on the phone? I know there are multiple attempts at it---Ubuntu had (has?) a project, both KDE and Gnome are working on mobile interfaces. Unfortunately, these will still run into the same problems: hardware manufacturers locking the hardware down to prevent any sort of alternative OS installation. Changing that will most likely require government regulation to force companies to stop being scumbags.

     @adiz I think the issue is that even if you build an ecosystem as good or even better than the established ones from Apple and Google, it just won't make people adopt it unless one of the two established ecosystems make a mistake big enough

     I really wish there were viable mobile alternatives to iOS and Android. I want to genuinely be completely rid of Google, Apple, and Microsoft from my life. All of them spy and data-mine; None of them respect their users. It's insulting that even after consumers pay for a product, ostensibly to make it their own, manufacturers continue interfering and persistently collect and utilize their customer's data for further profit.
