I'm gonna be honest the design looks cool. forget the anti-consumer stuff about apple for a sec, like. it LOOKS cool. impractical? sure. but like, you'd definitely get the attention of everyone on the playground with that thing.

I dont like hasan. he doesnt actually do anything to help his causes he just whines on the internet all day. has he ever gone to a protest or a rally? or does he just sit in his million dollar mansion all day getting rich off of gen z and gen alpha brainlets giving him those millions which could actually go to good causes?

God forbid someone take a break from their depressing reality where theres so much uncertainty about the future that there are predictions as far as WWIII coming around, we need to be constantly having our nose on the grindstone and wear our mental health down so fucking bad that we can't even function so their reign happens faster.

Theres a couple good videos that talk about the decline of NASCAR by EmpLemon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RjAWFDL3fA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxTAJNifDAI

From what I remember, it boils down to the fact they added regulations to make the races safer, which also made them more boring as there were less crashes, less speed, and overall less danger.

G Services were never a part of android though, and android is fully functional without them if youre running a FOSS suite of apps. There are multiple options to restore GService functionality while maintaining privacy such as MicroG which is a reverse engineering of GServives to make them FOSS, and Sandboxed GServices which is literally just gservices, sandboxed, which will provide 1:1 compatibility with all your apps provided youre fine with having google code on your device.

In terms of "control" on Android, it really depends on what you mean. On Android you can still uninstall every app you want provided you have access to ADB, unlike Windows where you can't uninstall the damn built in web browser. Android also makes a lot of privacy features easier to access such as the ability to immediately turn off your location/camera/mic on the fly if you add them to your notification shade, as well as the Android 12+ feature of the "privacy bubble" that shows you if any running app is currently using location, camera or mic. There are definitely things Windows is "better" at, such as tweaking the UI/UX, but in all fairness if M$ could disallow that without breaking their legacy codebase they would.

I mean, what are you referencing specifically because Android is still an open source operating system with healthy forks (Lineage, Calyx, Graphene, Muerena, PixelOS etc.) and ChromiumOS is open source I believe, even if its just a fork of Gentoo. Is there something I'm unaware of?
