- akerl_ 6mo agoDo we think that maybe the 3,732 people who responded to a poll on Mastodon by an account centered around one side of this disagreement might potentially not be a representative sample of all Android users?
- jeroenhd 6mo agoIt's a bit hard to poll 4 billion devices, but out of all 4 billion devices I think it's safe to assume that the percentage of users who do care can be rounded up to maybe 1% at most. Developers and enthusiasts are an extreme minority that's incredibly vocal. I think most people here disagree with Google's approach but too many people are pretending like their interests and use cases are significant on a "half the planet" scale.

- marcprux 6mo agoPerhaps. And yet … 98% opposition from 4K respondents? I'd be very surprised to see any other poll that tilts the other way, regardless of sampling bias.
- warkdarrior 6mo agoDoes this count? Putin won 88% of the vote in the 2024 Russian election. Not sure of the sampling bias there.
