A new Android malware from Google

I keep hoping for something more radical like Jolla and SailfishOS taking off or postmarketOS becoming a true viable alternative but as things are looking like now there's a better chance we'll ditch phones altogether in 10 years when smart glasses will replace them instead.

Honestly don't think that would be so terrible, with how bad and locked down the mobile ecosystem has gotten.

Rolling the dice on a new technology could wind up being much more favorable.

What /new/ technology? The basically same platforms. Just smaller phones with more cameras recording everybody without consent.

Billions are spend right now to make sure the glasses also run Android or iOS. So far, Google, Samsung, Magic Leap, RealWear and Vuzix are working with/on Android XR, and obliviously Apple is working on AR/VR iOS.

Meta and a couple of smaller startups are doing something in-house, but I don't give them much chances to get an ecosystem going.

Linux is coming there too, see Raven Prism and Monaco Glass for example.
