I don't have enough machines to have a scheme lol
Something being rare doesn't make it inherently mediocre.
I haven't watched Succession, but I suspect Logan Roy is the majority shareholder. If you hold 51% of a company's voting shares, you effectively can do what the fuck you want with it, board or not. By the time Osborn loses his company, he's not a majority shareholder anymore, and the rest of the board controls enough of it combined to oust him.
I don't see any reason to trust American software any more than Chinese software at this point. Especially with how deeply involved Palantir is getting at every level, I just can't think of any objective reason to think otherwise.
This would suppose people have a "corrupt" nature that they have or don't have, and have no desire nor ability to change. Doubtful, personally.
Power, however small, has a large potential for corruption.
I mean, if you're ready to ditch an entire OS, your privacy, and deal with all of Windows' bullshit because of it, I'd say it's absolutely GTK hatred lol
Yeaaah, doing this would mean the death of anything I enjoy outside of work and the wife and kids.
They've been moving more and more out of AOSP into their Play Services for a good while now. However I suspect OP was referring to their announcement that they'll require developer verification, and apps to be signed with a certificate they issue, for any app install on a verified device (read any device sold with the Play Store). Long story short, no more building and distributing APKs without Google knowing who you are and that your app exists.

I realized my mistake too late. Oh well, let the Genª have some fun.
