So why would they breakup Android away from Google (essentially killing the product as a whole due to lack of funding from Play) instead of separating the Ad business?

The only personal insult to everyone here is such blatant lying and rewriting of history. And it's telling about the bottom barrel culture of the internet that you're angrier about having someone called out as a liar they are inst

This is complete nonsense, it's a post hoc copium where you're trying to dishonestly rewrite history from your personal hatered. Chrome was better than competition pretty much all its lifetime and there's plenty of historic a

The marked used all the different apps available from both OEMs and on Play Store. Don't be a prick.

Start with Apple which actually has a monopoly on mobile devices in USA and let's go from there then. You do care about the market and aren't just angry because a corp doesn't listen to your orders, right? RIGHT?

Wonder what will be first, the year of Linux desktop or the year of Apple AAA gaming ;P Been hearing both for the same time.

What community contributions? Linux is mostly corporately developed with Google being one of the major contributors. Google also fully maintains the ART VM running on Android - despite Oracle, the owner and developer of Java - famously want

No, this isn't what gaslighting is or means.

EU was very clear that closing down the OS (Apple) is how they avoid fines with their latest rulings. They punished Google for open sourcing the OS and left Apple get away free with explicit explanation that closed OS doesn't need to a

Why do you so desperately want to use their software then? This whole topic is basically people demanding that Google continues giving them their code for free for their operating system. If it's really such a cancer, why whine and dem

Most of it is one liner config changes too, not much of actual code.

There's plenty of password managers available that keep the backup for you in multiple ways.

Can you link to patches or commits they upstteamed? I'm not aware Google ever accepted any.

We've been using SSH keys which behave the same for years. At this point it's mostly clowning by old farts in these articles.

We also have devices with yubikeys built-in now.

If you have two toilets in your house, are you going to sign up to clean mine too, for free, because I demanded it from you? Thought so.

It was never particularly safe to root the phone - both because it drills a hole into the security model and because you don't have any good ways of verifying what apps asking for root actually do. Moreover, most of root tools and ROMs

Your post is essentially admitting that you're ignoring the bugs from the company you love and taking seriously form the company you don't. So the difference isn't about taking things "more seriously", but in the fa

Because you'll be hounded by patent pools and sued into oblivion if you dare to use it in your own software and aren't Apple, Microsoft or Samsung.

"We don't want to support another pile of security bug ridden C++ library" absolutely aren't "dubious grounds". You'd rip a new one to Google if there would be a CVE in a new C++ library in Chrome because

EU is already 40% better than US, so why exactly are you implying it's worse?

What a bizarre thing to say - is that your attempt to discredit anyone that complains about wrongdoing? "Everybody's enraged, why don't you like this unethical thing being done to you by a company?" What's going on

Most of those are webapps too (just packaged in APK) since it doesn't make sense for most app developers to build a special bespoke version for Android. If you check YouTube version string you'll see Cobalt as well on Android.

Yeah, same here, but that's the reason why others aren't seeing it :)

Those ad breaks only appear if you opt out of personalized tracking. They're a punishment for you because you won't let them collect data. FB app does that too.

Same way it works for everything else. They sell their performance and then they make something else.

You keep making up strwamen and positions that don't exist. Maybe mock something people have actually said.

Not really - this is akin to doing a complete rewrite of your 30 year old codebase to Rust. Every organization has their own hacks, bespoke tools, processes and hardware that has to be painstakingly replaced, reprogrammed and users retraine
