Oddbean new post about login | logout At least on Android we have reproducible builds. It‘s mainly on iOS where we need to trust app store binaries :/ https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/tree/main/reproducible-builds
Indeed… it always links back to the Apple monopoly. Only if we had an open-source iPhone. 😢
Yeah. At least for Android we have https://lineageos.org
The people who make an open-source iOS-like experience will go down in history. Square certainly has the UX taste required, but I just wish we had something beyond an Android base to work with. Wish there were a way to reuse existing Swift iOS apps in a new open-source operating system… maybe a Unix-based OS (Darwin) as the foundation, like iOS’s.
Even if it started as an expensive, luxury freedom phone for the wealthy class… that’s how Tesla started, built great branding from the luxury pricing, then trickled down into the cheaper/wider market later on.
You always gotta capture the smaller market first. A Bitcoin/Nostr community focused phone working on an iOS-like experience would be killer… *cough cough*
