  • I use custom ROM and fdroid myself. It’s still a google product. Specially if you have ever developed for android you know you just have to play Google’s games. The same way if you use Java you have to play Oracle’s games. Or if you want to be an aws engineer (or whatever they are called) you have to… You get the gist.

    Google has deeo control over tge android ecosystem and the only reason it’s somewhat open source currently is the GPL licensing of the linux kernel. And they are limiting it day by day, while it’s getting harder to install custom roms on newer phones.

    The smartphone industry is absolutely garbage. Android and ios aren’t very different.

    and btw, open source doesn’t mean FOSS. It just means they couldn’t find a legal way to make it fully proprietary.












  • I kinda like the idea of Uiua. It’s extreme and meme, but the concept is really interesting. I think our language and writing limits us, and in 30-40 years with enhanced interfaces and cognitions, we will be using things like this.

    Similar to how ancient Persians used 3D handwriting to convey much more data in compact forms.
