de-Googled android sounds even better. The story is cooler than the title!

I like your spirit, but I don't think a Chinese equivalent to Google Play Services would be more desirable

All I want is unified push really. Then you just choose your server or host your own.

Or just Linux. Like furios or phosh, etc.

I wish more apps supported unified push!

I mean they just replace Google with their own Chinese data-mining services so, no, not cool.

Exactly what happened with Indonesian release of Huawei.

Also, more ads everywhere. Even your lock screen.

They are already degoogled for the Chinese market. What the Chinese Android variants to not have is a shared replacement for Play Services and a shared app store because everyone is doing their own thing for maps API, payment, ...

a duopoly is better than a monopoly but 3 platforms would be better

This is why my next GPU its gotta be Intel

[-] jnod4@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Just read for a second about intel's history on anti competition practices eg they would ban stores from carrying out amd cpus in my country in Europe

Oh yeah, I'm not saying they're the good guys at all. But we need a 3rd player on the GPU market.
