I read that comment, but I know for a fact that's not the only way to log clicks.

This is some Avengers level bullshit.

I'm very curious what these knowledgeable users say.

Rule 1 of the internet is "check the link before you click" and these man in the middle forwarding systems make that impossible.

I have a different association with "enshittification" but I definitely don't support this change because it's a security problem, you're totally dependent on their moderation to keep you from clicking sketchy links.

Remember that interview with Don Lemon where Musk got heated over censorship?

Me too.

I mean. They could go with google and most ideally change nothing, or stay with the open source project and try to cut out a slice of the appstore pie for themselves.

Google can only do that if they can maintain grip on the market. This requires the likes of Samsung, who also contribyte to android, to move with them to their then propiatary solution. Google is not going to win this just with their Pixels.

Google closing android would ruffle a lot of feathers so it definitely wouldn't be a given they would come out of that on top.

Apple has no problem existing outside of Google's sphere of influence. And honestly if the android market would split and you'd get legitimately google-less phones with large app stores that google doesn't control that would be fairly beneficial if you ask me.

Trump: starts trade war

Trade partners leave the chat.

Trump: surprised pikachu

If google where to close android it'll undoubtedly be forked. Pretty sure the likes of Graphene and Calyx will be fine for the forseeable future.

Yeah, agree. Hence the crime against humanity stance.

Data you get from people by using torture is automatically invalid, especially when it comes to getting people to "admit" things.

When are we finally going to consider this the war crime/crime against humanity it is?

Tech leaders who once backed Trump

Once, meaning, until about two months ago.

As much as I'd love to take this at face value, people taking a run with what an AI told them is highly problematic.
