amino comments on Google confirms it's 'combining' Chrome OS and Android into a single platform

A Google executive has reportedly confirmed that the company will combine Chrome OS and Android into a single platform.
This news comes after we reported in November that Chrome OS will be merged into Android.
This also follows Android 16’s release, which brings several desktop-themed features to the platform.

I'm not denying anything that you outlined and also share your concerns about Google exploiting the FOSS community.

GrapheneOS seems to be able to side-step Google's fuckery while also having an Android OS that keeps Android's most important functions usable.

I guess we'll see over time if the projects that don't have the funding that GOS has will be able to keep up with an increasingly hostile AOSP.
