Apparently, #Google has lost track of their goal for #Android "We wanted to make sure that there was no central point of failure, where one industry player could restrict or control the innovations of any other.

That page is 404 Not Found now...
... also, this product is really cool, according to our nerd surveys, so off to the Google graveyard it goes.
@RandamuMaki @eighthave Makes sense for a company that does not understand "no"
@Epic_Null @eighthave Just like most (if not all) abusers.
@eighthave What was the SPOF back then? The user's ISP?
@eighthave Blackberry, perhaps?
@eighthave they lied since the begening
Reality is : they are capitalists, and they are aware to be fascists
@heyla @eighthave I don't think they lied from the beginning. I think in the beginning the Do No Evil motto was actually honored and heartfelt. That Google fell to corruption and died and is no more. And the new Google under Alphabet has made itself a single point of failure for everything it does. Clearly then, all sensible people should avoid it whenever possible.
@wbpeckham @eighthave c'est beau d'y croire
La réalité c'est autre chose
Quand on a des valeurs, on ne change pas en cours de route
J'ai garde les miennes depuis plus de 30 ans et quelque soit les malheurs (homeless, no work, partially disabled isolated and poor)
J'ai pas viré nazi pour autant
Continuez de fabriquer votre malheur et le notre, et on sera ennemis.
@heyla @eighthave That does not connect to anything that either of us said. And neither of us said anything to indicate that we are or agree with Nazis or other fascists. Perhaps you could explain your comments?
The problem is that people even try to excuse their behavior or assume that, deep down, they were good people... as if they had become corrupt “over time.”
A lot of people have been too lenient…
I remember very well back in the 2000s, when we were called conspiracy theorists because we were suspicious of these big corporations… Who was right…
History has proven this for a long time now, though…
@heyla @eighthave There are people you can validly call conspiracy theorists. It has nothing to do with whether they're right or wrong. It has to do with what evidence there is for what they contend. A true conspiracy theorist argues and reaches conclusions because of a lack of evidence rather than because of the evidence available. I hope that has never been me. Well, over 90% of the time, if you reach a conclusion because of evidence that does not exist, you're going to be wrong. But that means nearly 10% of the time you'll be at least partly right. What disturbs me greatly is how theories from true conspiracy theorists that have a total lack of any valid evidence can convince so many people to believe them. In this case, all we have to do to look at evidence is look at the historical record of the economies and economics and the policies that created them. If you need more evidence than that, you're probably reaching too far, but that evidence is pretty damning!
l'histoire du capitalisme nous a prouvé d e nombreuses fois que leur penchant des entreprises pour les idéees progressistes étaient calculée et opportunistes.
l'histoire et lo'irigne ideologique de ces gens étaient libérale technophiles et supremacistes, cela ne pouvait qu'aboutir a cela.
nier cela est aussi dangereux que plonger dans le complotisme
@eighthave wow thanks for posting this
@eighthave Looks like a reproducible pattern, delete the evidences, then do whatever you want.
Storytelling is the new true.
And at the same time Donald is running for peace.....😅
@indigotime That's a link to the source code for the source.android.com website, specifically the "jb-dev" branch which was last updated in 2012. Nice idea to look at the source code, here you can see the actual commit where they removed the "philosophy" in 2014:
@eighthave They meant "where one industry player who isn't us could restrict or control the innovations of us"
@eighthave Why I keep saying that Android should be hard forked and completely made independent of Google while the licensing permits it. Because once they decide to relicense Android under some proprietary license or slap a whopping big NDA to even glimpse at its code, we are collectively fucked.
Distros are great but a hard fork is key.
@eighthave @IzzyOnDroid I love the smell of bait&switch in the morning!
@eighthave @IzzyOnDroid
They succeeded! They did it by killing most of the industry players.
@eighthave Google's Samsung patnership are destroying Android, isn't a coincidence
@eighthave Google only remembers "Do Evil" nowadays.
