Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find

That’s the one point I strongly disagree with you: Android, for all it’s flaws, has free and open source spin-offs (LineageOS, for one), that are the ONLY chance you have as an end user to own your phone / privacy (barring hardware backdoors or installing stupid apps)

Lineage is cool. It’s an edge case though, and while relevant for folks on Lemmy, it is probably less than 1% of Android users and not really a selling point for the argument that Google is going in the right direction, no offense. I do love the project and ran it as my daily for several years, hope it gets more traction.

It’s not a selling point for google at all, I was just mentioning it to state that the code base of Android is also the base for the only viable free phone OS for now. postmarketOS is getting there, but too slow and with too little support. SailfishOS was cool until it got taken over (financed) mostly by the fascist government of Moscovia.
