Of the largest android sellers, only samsung requires gplay. Xiaomi, vivo, oppo, realme, honor, are all chinese companies that require non-bundled google play for their domestic (and maybe other countries?) releases. Google can’t alienate these sellers, and if they did, all of these companies would create their own AOSP fork (or just switch to HarmonyOS)

I recently bought a xiaomi android tablet that doesn’t have google play services luckily.

Comrade dessalines, shilling chinese corpo slop instead of the standard open-source solutions.

Not very revolutionary!

While technically true, this feels malicious.

Let me swap the pedo king for shepooh!

    Its because lots of people lack critical thinking skill nowadays. They just go on whatever social media fits their narrative and parrot everything they read.

    Doesn’t matter to them if its “right or wrong”, it fits their narrative so they will stick with it regardless. Its about not accepting any truth except the one you created for yourself.

    I have my opinions about certain political systems, but I feel it doesn’t really matter what kind of political system you use if the people at the top pulling the strings are corrupt and malicious.

      Of course, easy to see how anyone stuck in an echo chamber gets to where they are on any belief. I’m not blaming anyone, just explaining how a sizable group of folks from a specific instance might end up so confidently incorrect.
