@killyourfm or others, wondering if I can pick your brain(s) a bit on *how / where* to place effort in raising awareness for my new business, @openmobile (and thus @iode as a preferred open source / #deGoogle option)?
The thing is there is a *really big deGoogle player* (you may know of their recently announced partnership with Motorola, for example).
But there are some key reasons I do not prefer their direction myself and am not too enthusiastic to promote them to others.

Without starting a rage war (main source of "lack of enthusiasm" for them even with their stronger security stance), here are my 3 reasons for @iode@mastodon.online : 1. Being based on LineageOS is a *very good thing*: monthly system security patches for *broad range* of devices *loooonnnng since abandoned by manufacturers* 2. Integration of fully open-source @microg for Google API compatibility instead of running a sandboxed version of "full fat Google Play Services" 3. More friendly welcoming community 2/

@rikshaw@mastodon.social GrapheneOS is based in Canada, not the USA. You can see it thanks to the flag emoji representing it here: https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/
