Don’t ask me what my name means
I remember a couple of months ago it was reported here that Google was making Android closed-source and I commented that this will be the end of custom rom’s and this was received by the community poorly as many stated that they would still be releasing the code but not their AOSP apps (or something like that) but I already see the writing on the wall. Google doesn’t want to be open-source, they where in the past because that gave them free coders to fix their shit and make them more profitable, but now they just want our data and the open-source community is against that, so they are closing doors to the community in order to be able to truly make money with people’s information. Wouldn’t surprise me if the next Pixel in the works is going with a similar approach as the iPhone and only allow for an eSim as well.
You can help, that’s how open source works
Samsung implemented auto blocker a few updates ago, but now has enabled it by default on all their phones, and you need to know where to look to dissable it.
So any other app store that isn’t the samsung app store and Google play store wouldn’t work with this enabled, which is why they are in this lawsuit as well.
Epic filed a second lawsuit against Google (and Samsung) one week ago, arguing the companies were already attempting to sidestep this upcoming injunction by adding additional friction for third-party app stores. Since that case is now officially related to this one, Judge Donato will be hearing it as well.
Check this script out…
It’s doing a bunch more than just enabling AA, but you might extract that part of the logic for your outcome.
So, hear me out, but what if we all go back to feature phones? Smart phones are convenient, but do the pro’s weigh more than the cons at this point? I am also including mental health into this btw.
