  • key here is the decentralized model. if you note how they are always going after other corpos or institutions to enforce their “property” rights. there is no effective way to go after global population on individual basis. they tried suing people in the US but that backfired as public opinion sided with grandmas lol

    fedi is already using this approach. that’s the only effective way for plebs to send a message… vote with your feet, find services that respect you. anything less than that is an extraction/exploitation racket. most key industries work like that and there is no recourse for things like housing, education, and healthcare.







  • Yeah rooting was a thing in mid 2010s, it changed since then. you don’t need to root to flash a room. unlocking bootloader is enough.

    samsung went out of their way to fuck over custom rom community.

    oneplus did something similar around oneplus 9. i think they were relockable for a bit then oneplus pushed out firmware update to block it or some such thing.

    this is how we ended up with pixels as only viable “mass market” choice. I am sure google would shut it down if it was not used as reference model for devs.

    watch them close this route for us soon enough.

    They are getting annoyed with us but they got ad blocker fight on their hands and anti trust ruling so they got to play coy for now.
