Some companies are trying to redefine E2E as HTTPS… I doubt Facebook is that naive though.

They are probably doing the iMessage trick. The message is encrypted with “your keys”, but you can’t see your keys, and you can’t know if the survaliance key is added to your keys.

7 tonnes! Such a sizable bust.

Nuremberg trials weren’t to get justice, they weren’t to punish. They were to do the bare minimum to stop us uprising.

We should make them beg for the Nuremberg 2.0 trials.

I doubt it. Just means Pixels are getting more proprietary and less interesting

Respect my authority

I was overly vague, and “Android” means different things in different places. I usually say “AOSP” for Open Source Android and “Google Android” for open core Android. This also isn’t quite accurate.

AOSP is basically a repo, not a ROM, not an OS, not even code (technicaly). This has always been pushed to on “release”, not during development.

Google has it’s own (private) repos for development. I suspect some OEMs have access to HEAD.

Google used to publish device code for Nexus/Pixel devices. This stopped in 2025. This was separate to AOSP, but would build with AOSP for “Android Android” or “Open Source Android”. Some people would “add gapps” to get closer to “Google Android”.

Kernal code from Google for Pixel devices is still publically available as is required by the GPL. Basically no other part of Android is GPL and has this requirement.

A “release” pushed to AOSP used to basically line up with a Nexus/Pixel update. At the end of 2025 they changed it to 4 times a year, now they are changing it to twice a year.

“Android Security Bulletin” is a different thing, OEMs get early access to it. Everyone else gets delayed releases by about a quarter. This delay was new in 2025, this will continue to happen.

Google isn’t giving built ROMs to OEMs, even if it was, assuming it’s internal only, it wouldn’t be a GPL violation. AOSP has never distributed built ROMs.

They are still doing that work for select OEMs, just not pushing it to the public server.

They aren’t even that great, they just aren’t trash. The one company that isn’t trash is loved by everyone.

And dyslexic people

So everyone who lost money can get a tax rebate?

If the PS5 could be booted to a decent Linux desktop, I’d buy one to play with it. A good OS with a fun form factor.

Otherwise, don’t buy consoles.

Meanwhile the UK is moving towards requiring an app (GOV.UK One Login) to get a job. In other words, you need to agree to Google or Apples T&C to be employed.

A state is just a group with a monopoly on violence.

I think it’s just highlighted by someone doing it regularly, it’ll happen the same % of times when someone else does it, maybe more since they don’t know the process.

I also don’t know how many people change phones in a store, I never have, but I’m not average. And even then, maybe a carrier store can help you, but I doubt the generic shop or branded supermarket can offer much support for an issue with a carrier.

And for people that don’t want proprietary carrier apps on there phone? Don’t have WiFi, so you can’t download the virtual sim? On a OS that isn’t Google or Apple?

And even if you want to install Android Android, not Google Android, you need to set up Google Android, agree to Google T&C to unlock your bootloader.

But theres a happily ever after, right? Right?!?
