I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.

I'm likely going to use ladb to sideload "directly" on the device. I'm really hoping there are some legal challenges and/or bad pr to make them back down. I'm also considering picking up a Fairphone 4 or 5 and running CalyxOS as a plan B.

Fairphone looks really bad after reading some of the GrapheneOS forum threads covering them. Calyx is still on hiatus over the security patch thing

Last time I checked on fairphone they weren't doing the due diligence for basic security, and that's why grapheneos won't touch them

Did they get worse?

I had never read their forum threads on Fairphone and eOS until the other day. Makes me glad I ruled them out for other reasons.

That's a shame on both counts. I'll have to follow more closely for a Plan C.
