The Switch hardware is so close to Android tablets (and Nvidia Shield) that the OS was almost based on CyanogenOS (Venture capital version of CyanogenMod (was a fun Android ROM back in tho day))

Its no longer a public service, it was privatised a decade ago and is now foreign owned.

On her next operation?!

The battles people go through just to run their own code on “their” devices.

I would not be surprised if they got a freeman on the land

Some companies are trying to redefine E2E as HTTPS… I doubt Facebook is that naive though.

They are probably doing the iMessage trick. The message is encrypted with “your keys”, but you can’t see your keys, and you can’t know if the survaliance key is added to your keys.

7 tonnes! Such a sizable bust.

Nuremberg trials weren’t to get justice, they weren’t to punish. They were to do the bare minimum to stop us uprising.

We should make them beg for the Nuremberg 2.0 trials.

I doubt it. Just means Pixels are getting more proprietary and less interesting

Respect my authority

I was overly vague, and “Android” means different things in different places. I usually say “AOSP” for Open Source Android and “Google Android” for open core Android. This also isn’t quite accurate.

AOSP is basically a repo, not a ROM, not an OS, not even code (technicaly). This has always been pushed to on “release”, not during development.

Google has it’s own (private) repos for development. I suspect some OEMs have access to HEAD.

Google used to publish device code for Nexus/Pixel devices. This stopped in 2025. This was separate to AOSP, but would build with AOSP for “Android Android” or “Open Source Android”. Some people would “add gapps” to get closer to “Google Android”.

Kernal code from Google for Pixel devices is still publically available as is required by the GPL. Basically no other part of Android is GPL and has this requirement.

A “release” pushed to AOSP used to basically line up with a Nexus/Pixel update. At the end of 2025 they changed it to 4 times a year, now they are changing it to twice a year.

“Android Security Bulletin” is a different thing, OEMs get early access to it. Everyone else gets delayed releases by about a quarter. This delay was new in 2025, this will continue to happen.

Google isn’t giving built ROMs to OEMs, even if it was, assuming it’s internal only, it wouldn’t be a GPL violation. AOSP has never distributed built ROMs.

They are still doing that work for select OEMs, just not pushing it to the public server.

They aren’t even that great, they just aren’t trash. The one company that isn’t trash is loved by everyone.

And dyslexic people

So everyone who lost money can get a tax rebate?
