@gamey @th_willenbrink @bill88t @JessTheUnstill "Android … isn't controlled by Google" – you are sure about that? Just because it's the AOSP behind Android? It's been a while since I looked last, but … who makes the decisions at AOSP? Who's on the board? If Wikipedia is to be believed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#Development "Android is developed by Google until the latest changes and updates are ready to be released…" Only then it goes to AOSP, "… an open source initiative led by Google." 🤷♂️

 @IzzyOnDroid @th_willenbrink @bill88t @JessTheUnstill Nothing will make the current version of AOSP closed source and if China and the EU are effected that's easily big enough of a market to continue that work even if Google abandoned all of us! (Which is highly unlikely in my opinion) @IzzyOnDroid @gamey @th_willenbrink @JessTheUnstill Literally sent from a degoogled custom rom'ed pixel 2xl. I look forward to a future I don't need to do this. @bill88t @IzzyOnDroid @th_willenbrink @JessTheUnstill I fundamentally agree with you but I also think your solutions are too easy, Google dose have the ultimate control over AOSP and even they struggle to maintain it. @bill88t @IzzyOnDroid @th_willenbrink @JessTheUnstill There is a big difference between all current projects and a seperately maintained branch of Android and they have no obligations to continue AOSP but as I pointed out in another comments that would also threaten China and both markets together are more than enough to justify a seperate mobile OS based on current AOSP so I don't think Google could afford to do anything like it. |
@IzzyOnDroid @th_willenbrink @bill88t @JessTheUnstill I can't argue against that but I still don't think the DMA is dangerous over regulation in any way and I also think Huawai could be really dangerous to Google if they mess with AOSP and leave the EU market at the same time.
