Google is Killing Open Source Android Apps (Here's Why)

Many of these don't work in the U.S and the best option they really have in the U.S is to get something like a pixel and put Linux on it, but I ordered a pinephone and a bigger battery. I should have it in a month. I'm going to try my hardest to use it as my daily so I can break out of the android/iPhone monopoly. The enshitification of operating systems has become ridiculous. They make it as hard as possible to do these things in the U.S. (zero regulation from the government) zero antitrust or pro consumer laws. Zero thought from the government to actually protect citizens right to use the airwaves and infrastructure that is probably majority funded by tax payers, especially after you account for inflation and fake stock market growth. The U.S is in a terrible state when it comes to tech, and I see why China is starting to surge ahead of us. Also the nickel and diming U.S companies do and get away with, while not even offering decent options for anything no matter how much you pay. Not even counting the mass surveillance and propaganda via algorithms and bots they do, is destroying American society. There is so much false advertising and corporate finance and bribery of elections. I think the U.S might be even more corrupt the Russia at this point. We can barely make anything anymore. My dream is the flee the U.S someday and come to one of the free countries in Europe where a person can own devices without corporate lawyers and pedos gatekeeping everything.
