The hardware and boot process for every phone is different, and some vendors block users from installing other OSes. Then most mobile apps are proprietary, and some of the apps only allow you to run them on official Google builds of Android

On Software Heritage: for forges (GitLab, cgit etc), every couple of months SWH lists all repos, pulls new/updated ones. I think if you save an individual repo, it gets pulled later too, but I'm not sure of the schedule. They have

A public git repository is even more interesting, for both ArchiveTeam Codearchiver, and Software Heritage. The latter offers an interface for saving code automatically. https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Codearchiv

The Sofware Freedom Conservancy are the main (or only?) enforcers of the GPL these days, and if you read their posts, you will see they disagree with you, GPLv2 requires the ability to modify and reinstall.

Personal sites are definitely interesting, way more interesting than most of the rest of the web. I was thinking I would put your site into archive.org, using ArchiveBot, with reasonable crawl delay, so that it is preserved if your hardware

1. I think you are thinking of https://github.com/ronomon/zip ? The description for pure says it is a static analysis tool for zip files. That makes it a linter in my book. 2. I see, thanks.

We need to lobby for choice at every stage. You must be able to choose which network, which phone, which OS, which app stores, which apps.

Start complaining to your government about every shitty thing the apps and OSes do, and tell your friends to do it too, eventually we may get some action on it.

Eventually you will need a new phone and by then probably all phones will be locked down.

There are alternatives, using them involves sacrifices though, and there the modem baseband isn't replaceable yet. Take a look at GrapheneOS, F-Droid, Replicant, Purism Librem, PinePhone, PostmarketOS, PureOS, Mobian etc. https:/
