As an Android user, DAE wish we could see some similar collaboration across some of the vendors running downstream forks? The Apple tax comes up a lot, but there's a whole separate conversation to be had about Google Play APIs as a major choke point rendering other Android implementations "incompatible."
- Apocryphon 6y agoThat's a great idea, Google shouldn't be exempt from criticism and activism just because Android is more open than iOS. It's also a good way to put the irritating "why don't you go after Google too?" whataboutism that abounds in any discussion that critiques Apple.
- chaosharmonic 6y agoIt also would be better for the proliferation of actual specs if we had an industry group offering up alternatives to, say, Cast and Wear APIs. Never mind the dream that would be a sane alternative to SafetyNet.
