Hey, first of all, I love to see the custom rom scene still doing its thing. I think we need to keep fighting to keep our phones as open and as 'ours' as possible. But we, and I mean, a big 'we' as everyone in XDA Developers, Lineage OS developers etc, have as a group a tremendous knowledge in this area.In fact, for the most developed phones, we know almost everything about them.

What if I want to have google services? While it's awesome you're building a competing infrastructure, it's dead in the water (at least to me) if it doesn't integrate with what I have already.
“be far more respectful of user’s data privacy” “the chat application is Telegram” Is this satire?

> /e/ is not obviously pronounceable On the contrary, it's a scientific notation for a specific pronunciation of the letter e. /e/ represents in linguistics an unrounded closed-mid front vowel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-mid_front_unrounded_vo...

And it's very difficult to search for
This should be higher in branding concerns today If you're not googleable, you're going to have a hard time
Now we're using common nouns as names for everything and it has completely broken the ability to search for both the product AND the common nouns.
