It’s important to note that this is them moving in-development branches/features “behind closed doors”, not making Android closed source. Whenever a feature is ready they then merge it publicly. I know this community tends to be filled with purists, many of whom are well informed and reasoned, but I’m actually totally fine with this change. This kind of structure isn’t crazy uncommon, and I imagine it’s mainly an effort to stop tech journalists analysing random in-progress features for an article. Personally, I wouldn’t want to develop code with that kind of pressure.

Boiling the frog, slowly… As more of these terrible decisions keep stifling Android up to a point where it becomes just a vessel to Google’s proprietary garbage (as it has been the case for many years already for a lot of things), it should be a wake up call for mobile Linux to keep improving and do it faster.

Surprised pikachu face… they’ve been closing Android bit by bit every year, everybody knows their real intent is to turn it into closed source.

It’s never been a better time to switch to [email protected]

Click bait headline.

I trust them. They showed that they only care for their customers and not for maximizing profits.

PostmarketOS can’t happen fast enough

LineageOS, & GrapheneOS hopefully will still be good for now
