Humanity has never needed a solid Linux phone and ecosystem, more than it does now.

These are dark days indeed.

Really hoping the Liberux Nexx manages to suddenly drop onto the scene, but I feel like I'll be waiting for that phone for the rest of my life.

There is also 24 hour cool-off period on installing APKs I didn't see mentioned:

Combine that with a new capatcha that requires Google Play:

...and it's clear which way things are headed.
