For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

Recap:

  1. No, AOSP is not going closed source. They are only releasing the Release builds now, not the dev builds. So he gets downvoted.
  2. He then dosent even get why he's been downvoted, goes into rant about AOSP apps being closed source? (No idea where he got that from)
  3. proceeds to go into most generic fucking explanation how Open source is against data collection, which, like, yeah? You could have summed that up in 5 words.
  4. For some reason now its a rant about eSims???

This is just something someone would generate with ChatGPT and add their own told you so text.

AOSP has been being slowly hollowed out for a long time now. Turns out, embrace extend extinguish works pretty well if you do it verrry slowly

It's about to get much worse. Once Fuchsia becomes a fully operational mobile OS Google will dissolve the AOSP permanently. The last remnants of the GPL will be swept away.

I am a little annoyed about phone going to exclusively eSIMs. My Linux phone that I try to boot up and update every so often to see if we've "made it" yet only takes physical SIM. Which I've read you can download an eSIM onto a physical card, but it sounds like a convoluted process, especially when your current phone only has eSIM. But I agree, that has little to nothing to do with open-source.
