I think you're overestimating the de-Google community.
I'd be astonished if there was 10 million of us. Compared to a few Billion normies, we're a rounding error in their accounting.

I tried to open up an issue (and did a PR) suggesting a developer strike as a tactic (IE open source devs adding their names to a list to promise to remove our apps from google play if developer ID goes through) on the KeepAndroidOpen repo.

The maintainers of that repo have been ignoring me to death since April. I was told by the maintainer that the project was "leaderless", but in reality it seems they're very opposed to a developer strike, otherwise my PR would've gotten more attention.

Motorola will release a phone with GrapheneOS in 2027, it would be a good pick.

because many People who loves privacy

almost 12 of us ... i jest but seriously, everyone using Apple and >90% of Android users don't care. Google knows this and they just bang on about this being best for Android users to ameliorate any concerns around governance issues.

Even many supposed staunch, so called privacy advocates, will complain they can't change because banking or some such, so they stick with the status quo as every minor inconvenience is seen as an insurmountable wall.

So i expect some bloviating initially and then acceptance. In 5 years, no shits given (headphone jack, expandable storage saw the same sort of thing)

tl;dr press x for doubt (x)

I'll be serving as the tester for a de-googled phone, hopefully, next month for my family. If all works within expectations, we'll be moving towards no google phone until the end of the year.

I'll be getting a Murena phone.

I think it impacts any system running Google play services, even if you're on GrapheneOS. Is that everyone else's understanding too?

We need a mobile Linus Torvalds, one that's not Finnish-American.

Alas that's not happening.

So they'll be like iPhones?

Is there a program or a way to tell what apps currently on ones phone will be affected by this?

Maybe it's time to consider SailfishOS as a real alternative to Android (which remains very closely linked to Google)?

So, did I understood correctly that just getting pixel with GrapheneOS is way out?

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but shortly after Google announced this didn't they backtrack and say they will let you install unapproved apps after changing a setting and waiting 24 hours?

I believe you may mean Darth Vader.

Also, I think everyone who was worried about this might have moved to a different ROM that's more privacy focused and that there may be some movement but it will show up as a blip for Google because most people don't understand and don't care.

Well, since I never took time to master phone magic, now they are going to give me a push. Thanks, I guess

I have developer mode enabled on my phone to get around this but it does force you to wait 24 hours.

I'd love to degoogle but all of the state programs that I am in use Google and my emails that they have are in gmail. You don't get to have privacy when you are part of US programs.

Someone probably going to break the lock like a week into it. You can just refuse the update until it does
