- cute_boi 3y agoI think it is better. At least they compete with each other.
- nilespotter 3y agoI do not anticipate this will be a race to see who can produce the best OS for the consumer, or the most privacy conscious OS either.
- soraminazuki 3y agoCompetition isn't always a good thing. For example, would you want multiple robbers competing to break into your home? I'd rather have zero.
- xcdzvyn 3y agoOperating systems are valuable. Theft is not.
- kelnos 3y agoThe value of an operating system that exists in no small part to siphon off your personal information so someone can put advertisements in front of your face... well, not sure I value that at all. (And I say this as a grudging Android user. Better than the Apple nanny state... sorta.)
- pmontra 3y agoWe do have multiple robbers competing to break into our homes. We keep them out with locks and police but first of all we don't let them in and sit on our couch with us. I do have an Android phone and tablet. I use as little Google services as possible and never logged in, unless I have to as in the case of the Play Store to keep apps updated. But I don't buy anything from them and I install more and more from F-Droid.
- Terretta 3y agoThe robbers work for the same fence, who sells to the same snake oil salesmen. The fence is adtech. The robbers are anyone taking your device/behavior data to sell to third parties aka adtech and data brokers, "de-identified" or not. The more robbers get a toehold inside your house, the more snake oil you're subjected to.
