@pelle@veganism.social there’s the by the book definition of “”“open source”“” and then there’s real open source

Android is developed by Google until the latest changes and updates are ready to be released, at which point the source code is made available to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), an open source initiative led by Google.

then it’s not fucking open source

it’s proprietary with a cherry on top, also known as “source-available”, yuck

the “open” in “open source” means a project is developed in the open and open to contributions

@pelle@veganism.social @rysiek@mstdn.social signal is not safe, simple as that

it’s privacy-hostile with its phone number derangement

@librewolf@chaos.social thoughts on setting something else as a default search engine? had to use duckduckgo recently and its integrated slop generator feature is vomit inducing
