Catholicism and conservatism are bipolar opposites. Like, I don’t get how you can love and accept Jesus while hating poor or nonwhite people

Not yet, but as long as google is in charge, they would keep enshitifying it gradually (hence boiling the pot/frog).

Quoting https://keepandroidopen.org/ “”" Nine steps. A mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period. For installing software on a device you own.

Worse: this flow runs entirely through Google Play Services, not the Android OS. Google can change it, tighten it, or kill it at any time, with no OS update required and no consent needed. And as of today, it hasn’t shipped in any beta, preview, or canary build. It exists only as a blog post and some mockups.

…

The principle being established: the company that made your device gets to decide, after you’ve bought it, what software you’re allowed to run. In software, this is called a “rug pull”; but at least you could always install competing software. In hardware, it is a fait accompli that strips you of your agency and renders you powerless to the whims of a single unaccountable gatekeeper and convicted monopolist. “'”

I mean they fund kernel development which in turn indirectly funds OS . Like, what would the OS run without a kernel

I’d disagree with that. The fact that they maintain a really good privacy respecting OS publicly available and open source is a point to me

On another note, do you think the EU would have interest in forking android considering its push towards digital sovereignty away from US big tech

I guess you could put it that way. For most general applications, I prefer to use flatpak over pacman. Pacman and arch’s repos to me are still very confusing over other package managers (dnf, apt, etc)

Maybe a middle ground like Go.

Plausible considering it’s been shown that meta is the one responsible for lobbying this shit

So from my understanding, its just a self hosted root server alternative to ICANN?

Linux phones when? I personally don’t have any issues but one thing that would be nice is how to make Linux dumber and idiot proof for the average consumer

I would say frontend is harder than backend (if not more tedious). State management is a PITA, you have to learn X frameworks that do the same thing, and git gud with CSS.

At the moment, AI is just a glorified autocomplete and I think it does more harm than good. (For LLMs). Is it a useful tool? Definitely. Should it replace jobs? Hell no. Is it being used as an excuse for the current recession and layoffs caused by offshoring? Hell yes. Is it killing the internet and propagating fake news? Definitely

If we’re talking about other applications (computer vision, image processing etc), then yes. I think think the surveillance states (face verification) and Ukraine-Russia war heavily uses these applications
