@josef It's good that there are already many alternatives for software and online services.
But what worries me is that we are far away from smartphone alternatives to Android and Apple.
@datendefekt you can get degoogled versions of Android. I run @e_mydata @murena on my phone https://e.foundation/e-os/ 
and very happy!
@helenvarley @e_mydata @murena @datendefekt nice. I've just got a Teracube myself, which doesn't have as good supply chain but does have a good long warranty, a great repair/ replacement service, and a replaceable battery, which is better than most these days :)
@josef @helenvarley @e_mydata @murena Third-party degoogled ROM are a good stopgap, but Android is not fully open source. It's still dependent on Google for development and on the phone vendors for hardware drivers.
A true alternative would need to be a separate operating system, and at best separate hardware.
@datendefekt @helenvarley @e_mydata @murena back in the day I had Linux powered Nokia with built in keyboard, that was fun. I guess https://pine64.org/devices/pinephone/ is pretty cool similar thing these days
