@maryjane That's interesting, thanks for posting! Is the blue one the longer one? Were both set to the same reporting frequency? (1Hz on L5 by default). BTW. Can OP6 use all of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou at once?

@rysiek @mebbie I believe that some people who are capable of moving away from Android haven't done so yet, for whatever reason. Sometimes they may be capable, but unwilling to give some convenience away - and using Android in a society that expects you to use it is surely more convenient. It's up to them to take action to make things better, not "manufacturers".

There are also many people who aren't, but you can't expect those to move yet. Obviously. We still need to pave them the way there.

@rysiek @mebbie You're attributing things to me that I've never said. That's pretty damn un-excellent.

Would I prefer it to be an open platform? Of course I would, but it never really was, otherwise we wouldn't have this discussion right now. It was made to make this possible. We can't rely on Google keeping it "open enough" and we can't rely on the society not making it mandatory to use without active resistance, which includes (but isn't limited to) moving away from Android whenever possible.

@rysiek @mebbie Of course they do, and capable developers adopting things are a necessary step on the way to make these things viable for non-techies. There's no other way to give privacy and choice to all people who deserve it, and Android wasn't one either.

@mebbie @rysiek The phones already exist; now it's up to users to adopt them and, if necessary, improve them to match their needs.

I don't see Google closing Android down as a threat to me. If anything, it may make more people actually interested in the alternatives. What is an actual threat to me are institutions and companies assuming that I'm running either Android or iOS. As things are right now, I can manage to live without them just fine, but things keep moving in the wrong direction.
