I'd rather see phones with Ubuntu Touch, PostMarketOS, and Mobian OS's.
i will second this too!

I’m ready for Linux-phone, but maybe GraphineOS is my gateway. I’m tired of my iPhone not doing the things it should.
it is also doing a lot of shit it shouldn't ;)
I've been trying to take ownership of my data and simplify my digital life. The greatest barrier to this by far is Apple/iOS.
Sure am glad I picked that walled garden 15 years ago, when I was none the wiser.

I don't work for Google. I'm but a voluntary ~~product~~ customer. But if they could offer me a way to get away from them, I'd gladly take it.
Right now I'm moving my personal domain over to cloudflare and email to mxroute. Considering setting up some calendar and similar groupware stuff on kubernetes on Oracles free tier as well.
That's the other rub...if I want to cloud host anything, I get to choose between Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and Alibaba. Wonderful selection we have there.
(I recognize there are smaller players out there like linode and ovh and a trillion VPS providers...only reason I'm considering Oracle is because they give so much free "forever". And kubernetes is fun for me in like a jigsaw kind of way. Not like the puzzle but the guy from Saw)
Forever is only forever until profit margins get tight or they have a bad enough fiscal quarter...
I have two free forever servers, they are alright, but they route weird. When I'm in China they go from Beijing to Japan and then to Korea causing packet loss and delays

Last year, the teams responsible for Pixel hardware and Android software were merged into one division, and Google today announced a “voluntary exit program” for employees working in the Platforms & Devices group.
At least there's some plausible reasoning for this, instead of blanket headcount reduction to pad profits. Reasoning doesn't change much of course.
It's still just an excuse to pad profits.
Probably.
Did they title the offer "Fork in the Road," too?
Is that where they put a loaded gun on the table and then turn around?
