@jolla 8TH PREORDER BABYYYYY
@gray @jolla Mediatek = closed binary blobs. Jollaboys, what are you doing?
I'm not in!

@gischpelino @gray @jolla

Pick the lesser evil.
SailfishOS is a (mostly) open source OS thats gradually opening up. Firmware is closed.
Android with GMS is a closed source OS (if we are talking about device distributions). Firmware is closed too.

Besides that, due to regulations and other stuff, no SoC will ever be fully "open". Even ath10k has proprietary blobs.

@botchedrpr and Android is closing up even more next year and 2027 with all the sideloading restrictions :/
@gray @botchedrpr Installing apps is not sideloading. Or is simply eating food cooking?
@Dexruus Google themselves have referred to these 'unverified' apps as sideloaded; anything that doesn't come from an 'official' Android app store like Google Play or Epic Games, etc, is sideloaded according to Google

@gray See, thats why I dont call it sideloading.

Its installing an app.

Only because google calls it sideloading, its not sideloading.
