Google has actually taken great strides to make custom ROMs as easy as humanly possible

I guess that is besides:

• slowly, but surely, stopping development of many AOSP core apps in favour of their own proprietary apps.
• ensuring many of their apps are basically unusable with a custom ROM
• making it so easy for app devs to block custom ROMs

Dunno, but that’s all Google stuff.

I hope so. I really want Valve to allow Android games on to their store and allow installation from it etc. I’d trust Valve way more than Google, thus I’d be way more inclined to buy Android games.

I hope one day there will be a good Google Wallet alternative. I’ve got a Pixel phone with GrapheneOS, and Google Wallet does not work because Google doesn’t trust it. It would be great to get something in it’s place.

If Apple really care Asahi wouldn’t be reversed engineered, and instead would be implementing from docs.

No. Apple cares as much about FOSS as they care about privacy. They only care when it suits them.

Interesting time to say this while Israeli military are killing civilians left and right.

I don’t condone what Hamas is doing, but you can’t just say that without acknowledging that Israeli military is doing equally bad, if not worse, things.
