    Which is not as libre as a computer OS. What I mean is that Google has complete control and power over it as it’s not developed by the community and therefore doesn’t do its best interests

      Android used to be a little more diverse.

      But it’s been limited to the launcher(shell) mostly.

      What do you think are in the best interest of the community that Google isn’t doing? Do you have any less contentious examples? As a technical support specialist I’ve talked to numerous dipshits that were talked into installing a virus on their own Computer system or phone or other device.

      Some people are really really really fucking gullible.

        It’s their problem if they were tricked into installing malware. It shouldn’t be an excuse to limit power users. The real reason Google does that is profiling developers and preventing real libre alternatives
