The EU ripple effect. Good job US, if it actually passes.
I am so grateful that the EU exists to set an example for this sort of thing.
Can we elect the EU to be our next president instead of the current crop of political windbags?
I’d vote to join the EU in a heartbeat.
Reading on different Apple sites, it’s hilarious. People are acting like they are being sued. Crazy to watch how cult members react. I mean it’s unhealthy but it is what it is.
I don’t get the fanboy culture around phone manufacturers. None of them have done anything innovative in a decade. They’re just adding more cameras and trying to make them thinner even though I’m pretty sure most people don’t care about either.
Phones have stopped getting thinner like 10 years ago
Not in any practical sense of the word but that didn’t stop them from removing headphone jacks in order to shave an additional 1/16 of an inch off.
I’d prefer they make it fatter if the battery would last more than a day as consequence.
That’s what they do. Compare an iPhone 6 to the current ones, you’ll see they’ve gotten fat
We need more options besides iOS and Android.
Android is open source platform, you don’t need Google for Android.
Android gives you a base system so that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel while creating an operating system. All phone manufacturers build on Android to create OS for their mobile.
Googles monopoly is because a lot of things we benifit from Android is cross compatibility of devices from different companies which is facilitated by Google - Play Store, Etc.
This monopoly of Google is not forced but domination of it in Android space since the very beginning.
Anyone can create an OS without Google services but it would be very less useful compared to Android with Google services, because of lack of compatibility.
Using anything that pushes google’s technology is supporting Google. Chromium is pushing Google’s vision on the web. Android of any distribution is pushing Google’s vision on mobile.
There needs to be an alternative to the two major players that don’t help them.
Have you heard of e os? https://e.foundation/e-os/
De googling your android is at least a possibility, ripping apple out of ios is not possible
Again, using tech that came from Google, even if you removed the telemetry and the Google apps is still supporting Google.
We need more 100% independent projects.
KaiOS (which has a fairly specific reason to exist that doesn’t apply to most iOS or Android users) notwithstanding I don’t see a third competitor gaining any serious traction (traction = apps actually existing = phone actually being usable) this late into the game.
I wish a web tech based phone would take off. There’s not much that can’t be a pwa.
Can’t wait for this to get thrown out.
Like don’t get me wrong, it’s long overdue, I just do not believe our current system will actually have it be enforced.
