Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid

  It’s still Android kernel and drivers :/ but it is private. For Linux you’d need postmarket or one of their derivatives and they are fighting to get cameras and power under control.

  prob the best we have at the moment.

    and what’s the problem with android other than google’s fuckery?

      Assuming google’s fuckery doesn’t affect them, nothing.

      But we’re relying on google to keep up that code and not see them as a threat. Right now AOK, but in the future that makes longevity questionable.

      It’s something to be noticed and understood so there’s no surprises when the company that did no evil now does all the evil.

        they can take down the code today and not much will happen, as the code is mirrored elsewhere.

        By “Google’s fuckery” you mean “Google doing all the updates and giving it to them” though, right?

        Until these alternative AOSP-derived OS developers stop relying on Google and start doing their own stuff, Google will have the ability to break their OS’s. This isn’t a Google issue, it’s a OS developer issue.

    Sure; but we won’t close that gap immediately. Intermediate progress can be helpful for further progress.
