Android is still the (mainstream) mobile operating system which gives you the most freedom. What are you going to use instead? iOS? This is not a hostile limit

This is not a hostile limitation - it's a backwards-incompatible API change that the ecosystem hasn't fully adapted to.
- dredmorbius 10y agoQuite honestly: nothing within the "mobile" ecosystem. A laptop running Linux. The mobile world isn't ready for non-trivial use. May never be, though I'm watching Ubuntu's progress.
- eeZi 10y agoAgreed then. I'm a developer and I can't see myself developing on a mobile phone operating system anytime soon. But I still like my Android phone for taking notes, pictures, syncing PDFs and reading my mails. It's just two different use cases and different security/freedom tradeoffs. Not sure if I'd call Android a general purpose operating system.
