"We know a little more about Google’s long-gestating plans to combine the best parts of Android and ChromeOS into a single OS thanks to a job listing for a product manager to work on 'Aluminium OS.'

Can't wait for Google to drop this after a year leaving anyone who was using it fucked.

    A few decades ago I could have excited. A few years ago I would have been interested. Nowadays I'm just "more closed bullshit from google, meh"

    I wouldn't touch that with a stolen hand mounted on the end of a ten-foot barge pole.

    damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.

    I would've considered it if google were still anti-evil, after all, Microsoft has fucked up hard enough to push users away from free operating systems. but nope, Linux it will be. somehow to be simpler than dealing with ms or google bullshit

    Wasn't there already something like "Android for x86"?

    There used to be x86 Android phones. But they kept that port going even after the phones went away because it was good for development on x86 machines. You could just run a VM instead of having to emulate an arm ISA.

    Gotta stick AI in there for the stock price huh?

    I wouldn’t mind if you could plug application intents into an MCP converter and then let models work with that.

    I don’t really trust the idea of ai at the core.

    Who wants to click on an icon to open a program when you could just type in the program you want and have it guess what to open amirite?

    Normally I would be excited. But now they build things with AI integrated.
