Mark Zuckerberg Is Unironically Based Now

I think Google’s biggest motive for keeping Android open source was for manufacturers other than Apple to get into the smartphone space at the beginning. Those manufacturers could have made their own OSes, but having an open source OS available for them to port to their phone made life easier.

Google can’t close off Android source code because at least some of their manufacturers have the resources to pour into their own OS (Like Samsung Tizen), and breaking up their marketshare on the smartphone OS space is a dumb idea.

They’re also developing this:

Fuchsia

I haven’t seen this mentioned on the forum, so I figured that not many people are aware of this, but Google is working on a new OS that is FOSS like AOSP.
