Who is doing a better job?
Because I see A LOT of “open source” advocates these days, and more and more “source available”.
But the old school Free Software hippies(that started with BSD, NOT GNU, IMNHO) are slowly dying out and being replaced with?
I can understand why some devs would have tried to ignore the writing on the wall for Android over the last few years (hopefully not from now on), but it's especially galling when you see some of them still using the likes of Github and Discord...
It's interesting because I feel like I see more criticism against Android devs than against web devs. As if the web was "more free".
AOSP is as open source as Chromium is, and both are controlled by Google. To those who criticise Android devs... are you running Firefox?
Cory Doctorow.
He's not an open source advocate as such, but his work on consumer rights and enshittification promotes solutions like using open source software, right to repair and strong consumer protection regulations.
