Google Decides To Pull Up The Ladder On The Open Internet, Pushes For Unconstitutional Regulatory Proposals

It’s pretty much the way of the world: beyond the basic enshittification story that has been so well told over the past year or so about how companies get worse and worse as they get more and more …

Regulatory capture seems about on par for Google these days. I suppose I'll be switching back to OnePlus for Android devices; that'll be about it for Google stuff in my home.
- Assume that all devices ship with spyware
  
  Suddenly, I miss the old days of Android. I suppose it's back to CyanogenMod or whatever it is these days
  
  GrapheneOS
  
  Direct replacement for Cyanogen would be Lineage. There are dozens of decent ROMs to try though.
  I still opted for iOS in the end. As much shit as Apple pulls, they did 6 year software updates when only flagship Androids got 3 and they aren't generally trying to dominate the Internet.
  
  Nobody outside a select few know the real dirt inside the proprietary code that Apple puts out. Open source is the only truth that you can see for yourself. Apple is the antithesis of open source.
  
  Open source is only as useful as the contributors and reviewers. Finding things after the fact helps noone.
  People need to stop revering open source as the solution to humanity's problems and treat it as a useful tool, nothing more.
  
  You are correct it is only a tool, sadly it is the only viable tool tho
  
  You’re right.
  I like to peruse code and have read a lot of it from the sources that make it available. It’s not always the languages I know but even then I can get the idea of what most of it is doing. There are some code bases that are too big for any one person to fully comprehend. That said, I think the only way for one to be confident in open source is to read it yourself which is a problem for most as coding knowledge is not common combine with the size of some.
  So it’s always going to be trusting trust for most people. The fact that it is open source and makes available the code for review limits malice to a much greater degree than proprietary ever will.
  
  I know, but as a software engineer, I just hate reading through other people's code and I don't have time for tinkering anymore. Apple's ecosystem is convenient for me and that matters more now. Used to care more of course.
  
  Running it now it is great.
  
  Lineage
