I would suffer a stroke and more, too, if my country wanted to deport my ass to a third world country like the USA.

Personally for me the most important thing in Android is automatic native call recording. If GrapheneOS gets that, I will consider buying a Google Pixel device.

Also, banking and other apps should stop using Play Integrity API.

You don't need tinfoil to realize we live in a technology dystopia. All of our privacy and data is sold to the highest bidder. Even if it's illegal, as long as it turns a profit higher than any sanctions.

If you can live without games having invasive anticheat, then everything should be doable, and probably a lot easier than in Windows.

Imagine where the software industry would be without all the lost productivity because of MSIE quirks.

A little bit of perspective from Finland, as a neighbour of Russia. We have suffered from old landmines, so we are pretty familiar with the downsides. Finland joined the Ottawa Treaty in 2012. That has been largely seen as a mistake. If we would deploy mines in a new war, the locations would be documented well so that they could be disarmed with no harm to our civilians. And as a small country, we are not going to invade any other country and leave mines there after a war.

So there isn't really any benefit to our civilians. But we lost one cost effective way to defend against an aggressive neighbour who has superior numbers of people to send as cannon fodder.

Bad news mate. WW3 already started a while ago. The world is essentially in a proxy war against Russia.

I concur. I hope this goes to court and the judge throws those patents out.
