@larma@mastodon.social @tbernard@mastodon.social very valid and true for any open source project. If you'd stop working on microg then the same would happen to my Murena phone - thank you very much BTW, an awesome piece of work and I am one of your donors 🙏❤️
Seems like Google gets more and more afraid of our liberation movement, which should encourage us to continue. Europe and the rest of the world might have to fork Android and continue without Google, although this would be a tremendous effort! 😅

@spipau@mastodon.social @tbernard@mastodon.social microG could be continued without me. There are other contributors and certainly enough developers that could contribute. But that is because microG is a free software community project. Android in contrast is exclusively developed by Google. AOSP is merely a code dump, it's almost impossible for non-Googlers to contribute to Android or AOSP. Even if you were to fork it, you won't have the necessary developer and security researcher power to compete.
