Android is the best evidence that Linux is not the thing that gives you privacy

Android is exactly how privacy friendly desktop Linux would have been if OEMs installed it on desktops since the 1990s

@eloy Android is not Linux, Linux is not an operating system, but just a kernel.

We need #gnulinux systems.

#Linux #Android #GNU #FreeSoftware

@Kletskous We don't.

@eloy Ok, I do.

@snow ich kenn da noch so 1, 2 Leute. und sie regen mich immer innerlich so dermaßen auf.

@Kletskous @eloy Android is Linux. What else would you call it? It uses Linux (which is, as you pointed out, a kernel) but it’s certainly not GNU/Linux.

What we need is freedom-respecting operating systems, which doesn’t necessarily mean GNU/Linux (Alpine qualifies but isn’t GNU/Linux)

@noisytoot No, not even the license is the same. @eloy

@Kletskous @eloy The license of the userspace components is completely irrelevant, since the Linux syscall interface is a boundary past which the GPL’s requirements don’t extend, and even if they did, it doesn’t change the fact that Android does use Linux.

@Kletskous Blocked for obsequious and pedantic RMS cock sucking.
Oh, and Assange is a fucking Russian tool.

@snow @eloy

What does #RMS think?

@rms

= Android #Linux?

#RMS #FreeSoftware
