    the point being “I prefer being sodomized by corporations instead of putting some effort in switching to an alternative”?

    well yes, as I already said you totally can, but it’s already backfiring so I wonder where do you people draw the line, assuming there is a line at all.

      Nah man you are not arguing in good faith. Linux has come on leaps and bounds since I first tried it in school and it is now my desktop OS. It is cumbersome but worth it. If it was only available as a terminal or CLI or whatever I would not be using it.

      At a certain point what you areadvocating isnt an alternative so much as advocacy for advocacy sake. Just telling people to leave a product is the same as saying the alternative isnt an alternative.

        your (you and the other user too) comparisons and depiction of Linux devices and software are the only things in bad faith here.

        even more so since we aren’t talking about ideals and philosophies here, but about google actually attempting to “close” Android.

        so, once more, where do you draw the line?

        personally I’ve already ditched google years ago because it was the right thing to do, now my current phone will be the last android device I’ll use because it’s gonna be the next right thing to do.

        there isn’t much to argue here: keep using android and expect worse than this, or ditch it and boycott that turd of google.
