The Libra Phone: HACKING the Apple & Google PRISON
Your phone is a prison. A beautifully designed, incredibly useful prison that you paid for, built by wardens named Apple and Google. But now, a rebellion is brewing in the world of free software.
Welcome to the front lines of the fight for technological freedom. We’re told that Android is "open source," but that's only half the story. Deep inside your device are proprietary "blobs"—inescapable black boxes of secret code that control everything from your camera to your GPS, turning your phone into a node in a dystopian surveillance state. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) most audacious project yet: the Libra Phone.
Led by the legendary hacker Rob Savois, this initiative isn't just another OS tweak; it's a ground-up effort to reverse-engineer and replace every last proprietary module to create the holy grail: a 100% free and open smartphone. We'll explore the monumental challenges, the ghosts of past failures like Replicant, and why this fight against the Apple-Google duopoly is a critical battle for the future of privacy and user control.
This is the story of the developers, the hackers, and the idealists who are trying to give you back the keys to your own digital life.
Ready to join the rebellion against big tech? Subscribe now to support the cause for digital freedom, and share this with every developer, hacker, and free thinker you know. It's time to take back control.

Plus they were once led by David French, which is disqualifying.
i think the real, good faith criticism of FIRE is specifically that its college free speech rankings (and deplatforming database) are a complete mess with no real grounding in objective metrics, and yet they reflect a massive percentage of FIRE's contribution to the public discourse. 🧵
