Android is struggling to keep its market share in the United States, as Apple continues to take over in the market. But, despite Android as a whole losing ground, Google Pixel phones are becoming a bigger slice of the US market.

Counterpoint Research reports that, in Q2 2023, US smartphone shipments dropped by 24% year-over-year. That includes both iPhones and Android phones, and virtually every brand saw a drop in shipments. Samsung saw US shipments drop by 37% while Motorola saw a 17% drop. TCL saw the biggest decline at just shy of 70% year-over-year, and even Apple saw a 6% drop.

Watch the Louis Rossman video on YouTube about Graphene OS developer.

One of the Lemmy developers appears to be a militant communist who denies the Uyghur genocide, yet here we are. Quite a few open source developers are insane and trying to avoid software with problematic contributors is an easy path to follow them into madness. It might stop me from donating money or getting heavily involved with development, but itā€™s not going to stop me from using the software.

I didnā€™t immediately reformat my ReiserFS partitions when Hans Reiser was arrested for murdering his wife either.

People defend capitalism too. Not that one justifies the other. People tend to cling blindly to ideals rather than compromise for the good of everyone.

I apply the rule of separating the Art from the Artist in this case. No doubt he is insane but Graphene OS is the most secure+private OS that he has build

You should watch it again. He said that GrapheneOS is great, but the Developer isnā€™t.
