"needs root and patches to AOSP". So there go the banking apps mentioned elsewhere and you can just use postmarketOS.

Still cool though!

There’s a place for DRM and similar protections, I don’t think they’re going anywhere.

But I’m still hopeful that phone, email, web, voip, videochat, photo and video editing, location, maps, document sync, etc, will one day work seamlessly on FOSS devices.

I do think that the apps will have to be recreated as FOSS, existing apps will always be antagonistic because they get a lot of revenue from being able to control how/when/where the software is run.
