On: Answering questions about Android developer verification

There sadly isn't a single viable option for a Linux mobile phone out there.

- Purism runs ancient hardware, charges way too much and has questionable business ethics.

- Pine64 has equally bad hardware but reasonable prices. I don't like the Hong-Kong connection though. Not sure how the security patching environment is in practice.

The only option on the table as I see it is buying from the devil and installing GrapheneOS.
