It’s not about business interests. We live in the age of fiat currency and these are trillion dollar companies that do almost nothing of value. It’s about control and surveillance and for forcing the peasants to use the algorithms. Competition is a fantasy taught in reganomics classes in college. The reality is these companies are a giant cartel that want to manage all the workers and brainwash us and absolutely will protect each other. It’s not just companies but politics as well. What is the democratic nominee doing right now? Talking about why trans women should be allowed to compete with women in sports. They couldn’t find a more offensive topic to make sure Trump wins again.

Wasn’t Google trying to get their own OS off the ground? It’s in their business interest for people to switch from Windows to elsewhere.

It’s not in their interest for people to switch to something actually good that they will want to stay on, though.

Fuschia, I think it was called. Their own Linux like OS, but with all their own custom tools

Fuschia did get used on some of their smart home stuff that they’ve shifted focus away from. I suspect they were just building a dedicated embedded OS to standardize on for non-phone gadgets that don’t need full fat android

Sounds like a worse version of both Android and Linux.
