Comment on Google promises a rescue patch for Android 14’s “ransomware” bug

  Lemmy loves google, but I’m with you. I don’t use any of their products or services. People here say, “why not just buy their product and use other software?”

  That’s still buying their product. And their software still lies within the offshoots.

  You may want to do some research. The first bit is uhhhh… plain incorrect. The chromium based things, sure, I guess that could be said despite it being an open source project and easily forked.

    I’m gonna flip that around on you. Prove to me that LineageOS, an Android based operating system, no longer pulls in code from AOSP.

      But the problem is not AOSP, but Google? This reference and forking could be done to any code or math out there, why is it somehow “not ok” only when AOSP comes into play? I personally cannot think of anything that would be a specific halting factor exclusively because it’s AOSP. If your issue is with Google, then find a trustworthy fork that you like. You definitely ain’t alone in hating Google, especially compared to the people developing these alternate OS’s.

      All that to say, why are you “flipping it on me” to “prove they no longer pull code from AOSP”, when that wasn’t even the target to hit, or the question.

      If your issue is with Google, take issue with Google. Likewise, if your issue is somehow “literally everything Google has ever touched, even if they have no part in it today, or ever again.” Then I got nothing. If you’re that horny on main to burn Google to the ground, start writing your own mobile phone OS I guess, I simply don’t see any other way you’re going to hit that mark.

        Ahh. I can see you don’t understand. Well, I’ll just go fork some “code and math.”

        Have a great night.
