    @lapot2, I feel like you over fear open source software it's not that spiteful
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    for this reason there will never be any serious open source software.money money money
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    without support from closed paid software - no open software would exist at all.And even GitHub requires material resources for its maintenance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Without open source software we wouldn't have all these android devices we'd be forced to stick with apple
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    How can you be afraid of something that doesn't exist?:D
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    So you think Android is open source? Go ahead and get into your phone to change the firmware.Or better yet, try replacing the faulty flash memory or processor in it. :D
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Flash memory is hardware based not software based
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I have flashed older android devices using twrp
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    you will be sincerely surprised, but the open part of android is not used anywhere at all.on the contrary, everything is maximally closed, and of all the phone manufacturers, only Lenovo provided the source code, and even then it was not complete and not for long
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    You don't understand anything about this topic, and that's why you think so.Flash is divided into sections, like logical disks. Substitution of sections has long been prohibited, they are protected by checking checksums.You probably won't find a single phone that would provide the ability to normally change the operating system.I don't take into account the eternally glitchy TWRP-based crutches, this is child's play, nothing more.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    People have swapped storage chips in phones before if you're skilled enough I know I'm not
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    no need to throw links, I have been repairing phones every day for 5 years, doing the most difficult work on replacing chips and restoring work after firmware crashes, unsuccessful updates, and other malfunctions.And I know a little bit about what and how is open there, and what is closed, and to what extent it is closed.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    From the manufacturer themselves yeah they'll close but that's the beauty of Linux they over these solutions
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    the translation is incorrect, I did it for 5 years in a row, but I don't do it anymore, it became almost impossible because of "the excessive open source nature of android":rofl:
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, You're referring to GNU + Linux, Linux is just the kernel.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Any newer models of android are harder to break into over the security updates which suck
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    Well, TV OS seems to be an open system. But the problems are the same. Only with a 10 year lag behind phones.
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    and even Linux has paid commercial distributions
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    All TV os sucks so it's better to have a more powerful external box
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    there is no need to confuse the concepts of "open source software exists" and "open source software has an advantage"
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    open source software is still a crutch.but you don't see it until you're faced with a serious problem
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I'll stand by every os has it's place
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    and stand for anyone. you just won't see the difference until you hit the limits.arguing is useless, our points of view are too different, they don't even intersect
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I still wouldn't mind a Mac mini to play around with just gets annoying everyone wants to debate about them just use what you like :toot:
