    The whiplash between posts on Lemmy is so great.

    Everyone seems to hate google and how invasive they are while simultaneously simping for google’s mobile OS

    This shit is so stupid.

      If one person believes one thing and another person believes the opposite, that doesn’t mean they’re hypocrites. That means there isn’t a consensus. Besides, android can be better than iOS and deserving of criticism at the same time.

      Or maybe people hate Google ruining the internet AND realise that iOS is still much worse than Android? The two things are in no way mutually exclusive unless you view the world as a tribal binary.

      Android can be whatever a dedicated community wants it to be, since it’s open source at its AOSP core.

      I love AOSP, but I hate what Google does with it. Or most other manufacturers, for that matter.

        Chromium is open source, too, but so many projects putting all their eggs in the same basket gives Google carte blanche to push any standard they want as a new de-facto standard before the rest of us can decide on whether it’s ready or needs changes or is just bad.

          The average android user doesn’t have the ability to use lineageos. None of the android phones in my home even have support. So its not really a fair to talk about lineage when comparing android to iOS.

          I could be wrong, but doesn’t lineageos have problems accessing banking apps since its missing some kind of DRM?

          Maybe this I’d a solved issue at this point.

            Well yeah but from where I see it, I can choose thàe phone I buy, so I choose a supported one.

            Also, I’m using microg and most apps work. But I mostly use the website anyway so uBO step in too.
