The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced its project to bring mobile phone freedom to users. “Librephone” is an initiative to reverse-engineer obstacles preventing mobile phone freedom until its goal is achieved.
Librephone is a new initiative by the FSF with the goal of bringing full freedom to the mobile computing environment. The vast majority of software users around the world use a mobile phone as their primary computing device. After forty years of advocacy for computing freedom, the FSF will now work to bring the right to study, change, share, and modify the programs users depend on in their daily lives to mobile phones.
They should support GrapheneOS rather than try and make something “more free” from LineageOS.
Let’s see where this leads. They have not managed so far to get GNU/Hurd production ready in the 35 years it’s been in development.
That’s amazing! Phone are, IMO, the toughest frontier of privacy and autonomy. Industries have us well locked in their ecosystems
