People are slowly realizing that Android only weaponized open source licenses but was always meant to be a captive platform, like people are slowly realizing that VS Code has open source code but is a captive platform.
Open source licences are not enough. They’re regularly weaponized as a tech enthusiast trap.
@thibaultamartin I don't think that this is a particularly good take. Open source fundamentally means anyone can fork the source code and change it for any reason. Instead of VS Code, there's VS Codium. Instead of Android, there's a million alternatives BECAUSE it's open source.
I hate the direction that Google is taking to close down Android, but this has nothing to do with the license. In fact, it's the opposite.
yup. biggest con ever with bank apps and i do not believe for one minute those pings to GAPPS has anything to do with security and everything to do with banks getting paid for the information Google can extract everytime their apps ping the GPlay servers. from how the intents api is triggered they can extract a lot of information that, under normal “brick & mortar” conditions, would have to be prosecuted under wiretapping & banking privacy laws.
