If you don’t like what Google is doing, spend a few moments seeing if some non-Google alternatives work for you: Android —> GrapheneOS, /e/, Droidian, and more You don’t have to change everything at once, or commit to anything immediately. But it is Google, so you may be forced to move at some point! 15 comments
@rfg I can see why people might spend their time developing for phones that are popular, or phones that they have, rather than trying to target everything. PostmarketOS has a reasonably broad range of supported devices though? > I guess they try to cover a range that is most likely to be used with their OS, within their part of the world Yes, probably! > do you know which desktop/mobile mail client that might be the best option I use thunderbird on desktop (previously evolution), and K9 (now merging with thunderbird) on my phone. @neil I was "forced" to deGoogle my phone because I have a Huawei, and let me tell you it's an absolute pain in the ass. The "big" apps all work fine, but all the small, local administrative stuff don't. The transportation app didn't work. The health insurance app doesn't work. The delivery app doesn't detect my location. Payment app entered captcha loop. @aeftaw What a pain! I found /e/ harder to cope with than GrapheneOS - I haven't found anything that hasn't worked so far (several months in). @rozina I know Krystal well, and have a lot of time for them - I think you've made a sound choice. There are others too; I like @aaisp for my domains. @neil |

This obviously isn’t a definitive list - more of a taster, or an attempt to plant a seed that alternatives exist.
