I hope that my rooted One UI 7 doesn’t get the update through some backdoor in the Google Play Services package… Or the next time I unblock Google Play to update the very few paid apps that I use…

Time to “divest” from Google’s garbage (and other “big tech” garbage):

Last I saw, Jolla isn’t targeting the US markets. I was so sad! I really want one, it looks like a great phone. I’m gonna put in a reminder to check on them every few months to see if that changes.
Despite not targetting the USA market, the newly annunced Jolla Phone is reportedly very global and will support roaming in the USA, meaning it will probably be compatible.
I’ll definitely check back in to see which carriers they support once they release then.
On the sale page for the phone the two last questions of the FAQ address this, check them out.
Nice! Especially the Liberux, as it seems like it’s going to have “jailed” Android for apps that need that environment. Maybe that’s similar to what Graphene does with their sandboxed Google Play Services?
If my Samsung is shot (and shut) down during this year, I’m leaning toward a Liberux, Jolla or a Fairphone with Ubuntu Touch, in that order.
