    The whiplash between posts on Lemmy is so great.

    Everyone seems to hate google and how invasive they are while simultaneously simping for google’s mobile OS

    This shit is so stupid.

      If one person believes one thing and another person believes the opposite, that doesn't mean they're hypocrites. That means there isn't a consensus. Besides, android can be better than iOS and deserving of criticism at the same time.

      Android can be whatever a dedicated community wants it to be, since it's open source at its AOSP core.

      I love AOSP, but I hate what Google does with it. Or most other manufacturers, for that matter.

        Chromium is open source, too, but so many projects putting all their eggs in the same basket gives Google carte blanche to push any standard they want as a new de-facto standard before the rest of us can decide on whether it's ready or needs changes or is just bad.

      If you can't or don't want to root the phone and install your own de-Googled Android rom then you could get an Android phone designed for mainland China, which will come with all of the Google stuff already removed.

        Because I’d trust anything Chinese/for China more than I’d trust google.

          Yikes, that’s an ugly looking turn of phrase. I guess I’m blocking another racist.

            Holy shit lmao.

            It’s no secret that the Chinese government controls everything Chinese companies produce. If I’m using any digital item made in China I assume it sends whatever info it can on me back to China. This is nothing to do with Chinese people and everything to do with its authoritarian government.

            Touch some grass and learn the concept of nuance you twat.
