@waag I like this article but I miss the mention of actual alternatives to Android and iOS like Sailfish OS, which has been a viable "made in Europe" daily driver since 2013.

deGoogled Androids still (indirectly) give Google power like Chromium browsers do.

@aerique @waag For what it is worth, Sailfish OS isn't free software and they are working to implement their own version of Play Integrity. That's totally the wrong idea here: we don't need a European monopolist to replace the US one. We need healthy software ecosystems that put the user in control of their own devices.
