They dont acturally need to change the liscense at all, despite what most people think (and would logically make sense) AOSP is acturally downstream from Android. So basically as we’re seeing right now if Android doesn’t want to release the source code for something they just need to not push it to AOSP. It has been over two months already and Android 16 QPR1 still hadn’t been upstreamed to AOSP nor are they legally required to (they are legally required to publish kernel sources which they have failed to do).

I mean yeah the comment was pretty fair but what did you except saying “Linux doesn’t work” in !linux@programming.dev

Take a look where you are

The Asahi Linux devs still have a while to improve M1 support before Apple drops it

Yeah mobile linux cant afford splintering, if its to have any chance everyone needs to back PostmarketOS because quite frankly its the only mobile Linux distro with a future

Theres a difference, some people use desktop Linux as their main desktop OS but very few people use mobile Linux (and significantly fewer use it as their main mobile os).

You have just perfectly described why mobile Linux is never going to take off, the mentality of “I dont personally need x feature therefore it’s not important”. This isnt some sort of complicated thing like nfc payment or bypassing play protect this is literally changing the audio. So many incredibly basic tasks like that require typing multiple terminal commands on mobile Linux. Even if only advanced features like system management required using the terminal it would still be too much for 99% of people (even I wouldn’t use it).

Are you willing to accept being forced to use the terminal for everything? And I mean absolutely everything, even increasing or decreasing the audio during calls

How much less security are you willing to accept? LineageOS is significantly worse in terms of security while PostmarketOS is even wose than LineageOS. Also its not just security but reliability.

Quite frankly im going to keep using GraphineOS, it doesn’t really matter for me how much Google restricts AOSP code or sideloading. As much as I care about open source I need something secure and reliable.

I genuenly dont understand why a glorified set of dotfiles have recived such an enormous amount of donations and publicity. Not a good set of dotfiles mind you, in fact it looks like subpar compared to the many superior Hyprland dotfiles. Whats even more absurd is that people are saying “this will get people to use Linux”, yeah im sure this is what Linux needs another distro thats slightly different.

This is absolutely hilarious, a fully libre phone? What processor are they going to use thats 100% libre? Then what OS will it use? Android-libre? What a joke

Im sure your intentions are good but Lemmy doesnt need more AI

Absolutely incredible work on the practicality of Rust based drivers

Damn, they look absolutely horrible

Can anyone here post a screenshot?

No, people just don’t want to learn anything. They want everything to stay the same and never make compromises. No there is never a drop in one to one replacement for Discord or Windows or whatever else.

It should furthermore be added that the neoliberal world order is collapsing. Liberal Democracy has proven itself corrupt and incapable of providing true change while capitalism strips the workers of their dignity. In this environment many workers are embracing true liberation so in order to stop the rising tide of class consciousness the capitalist blames the workers woes on minorities. The more desperate the capitalists get the harsher they get and the more they peddle their bigoted lies, this does not show strength but rather that they are deeply afraid.

Death to reaction, death to deceit, death to capital
