    So not only google is trying yo crush fdroid, they’re also trying to crush anything without google services. I really wish the EU moved immediately on this one…

      And if AluminumOS succeeds, your desktop will succumb to the same thing, as Google will view Windows, Mac, and Linux as a threat at that point and do everything to stamp out all three.

      Like, how soon before doing anything at all on desktop is considered ‘suspicious activity’ by Google?

          Wouldn’t surprise me. It’s a good thing the attic at work is a graveyard of old servers and PCs…I might rehome some

          The tv show dune prophecy has a subplot about not using intelligent machines due to the risk of losing control. It was before the general anxiety about AI. I wonder if they will lean into that. A big part of the plot is also about tracking everyone via their dna and prompting outcomes based on that knowledge.

            All that transhumanism talk (I think it was mainly from Musk and Bezos) wasn’t about bettering humankind but about building the perfect slaves.
