Comment on Apple calls Android a 'massive tracking device'
BorgDrone@lemmy.one 1 year agoYou can build a version of Android, but not the version that is installed on the device you buy in the store.
There are dozens of forks of Android so I don’t know how you can NOT call it OSS.
Because even those forks ship closed source binary blobs. You simply cannot build an Android phone with 100% open source. The phones you can actually buy in the store? A huge part of those is closed source.

No one is talking about off the shelf OS’s.

Yes we are. No one runs custom ROMs other than a very tiny number of hardcode nerds.
