It was the mid-2000s. Graphics were held to different standards back then.

They were a bandaid solution to a problem that Flatpaks and Snap fixed.

Most (popular) programs are lagging because they’re all bundling an entire web browser to get around the cross-platform hurdle. Good in theory, bad in practice. However, even infamous programming languages like Java are now as fast as C thanks to advances in hardware and software, such multiple cores and asynchronous tasks.

If a hot dog wore pants…

Judges have ruled that they can’t be copyrighted because of this lack of a true author, and I agree.

Don’t put words in my mouth, and drop it already. This argument has gone on long enough. It is inconsequential and pointless. No one is settling or agreeing to fucking anything.

Apple’s whole marketing campaign is literally about privacy.

I’ve given up trying to discuss this topic that’s already been downvoted to oblivion, anyway. But, if you’re curious, I was trying to get the point that Android is pretty useless without the whole Infrastructure Google built, but they kept making it about ASOP. As if the average Joe even knows what that is.

If we judge Android on its own, yes, it can be incredibly safe and secure for its open source abilities. But that conventionally ignores everything else. Google pushes Android forward, Google creates the SDKs, Google creates the IDEs, Google creates all the non-phone variants of the OS. Android isn’t on GitHub, it’s on Google’s servers. “Biggest contributor” is an understatement.

Fine. But you can’t obviously say Android is somehow better at privacy when its biggest contributor to the code and ecosystem is a fucking indecisive ad company.

Who contributes the most to Android and push forward new releases?

It is on the subject of privacy. Chrome and Android are owned by the same company.

Did you not see what Google is shoving into Chrome?

None. The Fediverse is powered by a simple protocol that functions much like Email. It can scale indefinitely, unlike the “town hall” strategy, and is already being adopted in unconventional ways, like software Forges. It isn’t going anywhere.

And it’ll be gone in two years.
