Is Google really going to cut throats of ALL the Open Source world?

a day ago by Zwuzelmaus to c/asklemmy

So we have these regular announcements like https://lemmy.world/post/48341079

The app stores listed there are only from the big hardware vendors. Not a single mention out of the Open Source world. I guess ut means all these developers were reasonable enough not to play along.

What do you think is going to happen? Is Google really going to cut them all down?

They're going to be more like Apple has been all along. It's annoying, but jeez, Android is not the whole world.

Eh, it's most of the world? Add apple to it, and it's 99% of the world

I wouldn't call that annoying, I would call that attempted annihilation

Mobile phones, sure, and they are important. But I'm typing on a Debian laptop right now. Not a phone. Phones aren't the whole world.
