Imagine if support were given to a more worthy OS like BSD, or Haiku.

You’re choosing a downstream product that inherits the problems of, and trails behind upstream simply for theming. -Also, can be done on Windows.

So, the AUR doesn’t happen to Android phones. -It’s in their best interest.

In case you ever felt inadequate.

Whiney ‘blah blah blah’. Typical LiGNUt; all emotion, no tech discussion.

You didn’t have any merit. You’re taking theatrics and conspiracy theory to a tech discussion. Move along conspiracy theorist.

Listen. I’m not interested in your kookie conspiracy theories. If I was, I’d be going to infowars. -Doh! That shit got shut down. -Must be the gubberment!

That article isn’t saying anything I didn’t already know.

They’re making it more difficult to side-load; not impossible: The article explicitly acknowledges that Android must remain open and that sideloading must continue to exist.

F-Droid, Git, etc, are horrible places to obtain apps from. It’s in Android’s best interests to not make it easy or convenient. People won’t read a full proper warning like https://lemmy.world/post/48579911

It’s like the earlier scare on Android based TVs. They disable an app, but you can clone it anyway.

I’d only get from those sources things that Go ogle wouldn’t allow like PipePipe (even that I have no use for though).

Try a conspiracy theorist forum. It’s fake news.

It’s funny how gullible these people who use social media as News are! It’s as if they never heard of as search engine or ‘fake news’.

Great prank!

‘makes government fund them more’ … ‘rent cds and games and movies’

(So, they’re socialist BS that destroyed legit rental businesses with taxpayer money.)
