@techdroider The cringe overlords at Google have been attacking various parts of AOSP/Android for several years at this point in the name of “defending” customers.
They’ve taken several anti consumer actions which have all been documented. Android as a concept is on the way out.
Android: "You control your phone."
Apple: "We control your phone."
2026 Reality:
- Bootloader cannot be unlocked
- Firmware flashing removed
- Sideloading getting restricted
Android brands slowly becoming the same thing they used to mock.
@jsrailton@Google@lorenzofb@L3HarrisTech@HouseIntel And this is just pay, there’s a million other factors with regard to working conditions that mean acquisition and retention of top talent is at best extremely challenging and at worst, well, impossible.
@jsrailton@Google@lorenzofb@L3HarrisTech@HouseIntel How exactly do you propose that US agencies fulfil the demand without private industry?
If your answer is “more public servants” then you best be willing to pay them appropriately…
BREAKING: powerful iPhone hacking tools used by Chinese criminals originated from US defense giant L3 Harris.
The $LHX zero-click exploits went to Russian spies too.
Unbelievable harm to our collective security.
Scoop by @lorenzofb, here's why this matters 1/
What in the turkey teeth, love island, bmw on finance, sliders and tracksuit on a plane, hair transplant, Lidl steak, grey house, home bargains energy drink is that??
Rust devs are gonna hate this but it's true....
Every memory safety bug you’ve ever seen in C use after-free, buffer overflow, whatever is a skill issue, not a language issue.
the computer does exactly what you told it to do, you just told it to do something stupid. malloc() gives you memory. free() gives it back. If you use it after free(), that's on you.
that's like blaming the knife when you cut yourself.
C assumes you're not an idiot. modern languages assume you are. that's the difference.
C built trillion-dollar infrastructure. your OS. your browser. your database. all of it. Linux has been running the internet for 30 years. It's fine.
If you can't handle managing your own memory, that's valid. Use Python. Use Rust. Use whatever. but don't pretend C is broken because you dereferenced a null pointer one time.
> The language isn't unsafe. You are.
@fwrnr@SergioServillo@dhh Was talking to someone the other day about how insane hyper land is.
I think it has ruined some of the love of the game though; it’s too easy.
@LinxzSec@Viggie_Smalls93 Also there's a difference between nuance and having ass backwards beliefs like thinking you can be a leftist and work for a defense contractor LMFAO
@uhh66700749@Viggie_Smalls93 Now you’re making my point for me. According to you, you can’t believe two things at the same time when one is pro-defense and the other is pro-worker movements.
