Neither did I. Wow dead before arrival.

Where's ladybird

Edit - I didn't know about the Transphobia going on there. that is unjustifiable.

Add a GSM module And next time you see an open Ethernet port anywhere just stick in there and leave....\s

OK make a graph of swear words used by Linus and all others against Linus's age. I've a theory.

I'm not sure about efficiency of oil engines vs electric engines but at least infrastructure is already available and once India switches to nuclear/renewable it'll help massively....

There are countries where a government ID is needed from opening a bank account to buying even prepaid Sim cards to LPG, electricity connection and everything in between and this ID requires you to give your all 10 fingerprints, iris scan and photo from all 3 angles. And to top it all off this data is leaked multiple times.

Sorry to be a buzzkill but ~70% of India's electricity is coming from coal powerplants. They are working on using nuclear and renewable but still currently it is mostly coal.

OK First thing GOS team is currently assuming that Pixel 10+ won't meet their requirements. But for older Pixels it's tough. Google just stopped sharing vendor blob, device tree, and instead of openly developing AOSP now it is fully behind close doors only releasing source later with full update. But I have hope. I've been daily driving custom ROMs for 10+ years and before I could afford Pixel I had cheap phones which also didn't share any of these things but custom ROMs were very much thriving and they will always. Yes there may be a little more delay for new devices. All the new features may take longer but GOS already has a lot of security and privacy stuff figured out.

I think we should all support however we can to not just GOS but also other Custom ROMs. Because there will always be those who'll stop society from progressing and all we can do is fight back with donations, our time, and resources.

Google used to share the complete device tree and vendor blobs. And full commit history for kernel.

Without device tree they have to reverse engineer it which is very complicated and if it is wrong your device won't even boot

Without vendor blobs they have to have every pixel phone with stock android update it and extract them from phone again slow and painful process

Without commit history for kernel GOS devs don't know what change is needed to fix a particular security issue or a bug so they can't easily back port. And also the AOSP 16 source code wasn't released to public until full launch so it again slows things down.

I know google was never obligated to share those things but they have been doing it since forever. And to stop this now when in reality the number of ppl using custom ROMs is at it's lowest is bad it is not affecting their bottom line but they still choose to do this.

I've been using custom ROMs since Cyanogen Mod 14. I know. But still the share of google spyware is high.

There are only 2 types of people. Who hate systemd and those who don't know what systemd is. \s

Wasn't it always the year of Linux phones like Android has huge share of market and it is running Linux kernel but with Google spyware. Now it's just Apple Spyware.
