Then just buy a cable.

Yes, as a Gen X I'm sometimes surprised how tech illiterate some of my generation are...

Then I remember when we were kids and people like me using computers were seen as weird geeks and "normal people" wouldn't get close to a computer.

Honestly, Google back in the day was a great company. They were focused on putting the best product for consumer, supported open standards, kept ads at a minimum... A bit like Valve today. They really were "good guys".

Then I'm not sure what happened, they stopped caring and left the MBAs in charge maybe.

They make the contrast smaller because they don't go over the bump. Also they can integrate it more seemlessly than this sharp 90 degrees angle.

Yes Mozilla is a good example. They're run like any other Silicon Valley company and spend more in C-suite develop their damn product.

Too bad he spent all his energy getting Linux users to say GNU/Linux instead of talking about the real issues

The problem of being stuck on an old kernel isn't because of Google or Android, but because of chip makers (e.g. Qualcomm) not providing drivers.

Good, Baker can go find an other x millions salary elsewhere because it's necessary for her family (as she said in an interview), and Firefox can become a community project again that still pays salary to actual developers but without the expensive bullshitting C-suite.

I don't know, because it sucks and has zero benefits over PNG?

There is already a "lite" version of uBlock origin that conforms to the new manifest and will still work.

There are still a few features missing, some can't be implemented but others will be.

When AOSP was first released, it included all necessary app. Now many of them have been replaced by Google's proprietary app.

There is also the Play Services, necessary for many third party apps. I know an open source compatible lib exists, but it's not the same as not needing it at all.

Yes you can use a fully Open Source Android system, but it's getting farer and farer from a "standard" Android install with all the Google proprietary stuff.
