Yes I know the manufacturers do, but there’s no reason for the drivers to be replaced when the kernel is updated, you could hold them separately or reapply them after an update

And there are Linux distros with rolling releases, where the drivers stay where they are and the OS around them gets updated without issue. I’m sure the smart people at the Android team could do something similar

But Googles decides, that that is possible. I fthey changed the structure to enforce a seperation there’s nothing that would keep Android updates from those devices. Put all hardware and device specific stuf in a seperate layer and have it accessible to the updatable system. And it’s not like these vendors have an alternative to go to

Google develops Android and thus is responsible for it’s update scheme. They already changed it quite a bit in the last years with GSIs and Project Treble but there’s still no real seperation that would allow the same drivers and hardware blobs to be used independent of the Android Version or updating the Android version without these needing to be included every time.

That’s what needs to change.

Google really needs to decouple the hardware from the OS. There’s no good reason newer Android couldn’t be installed on older phones.

Dafür gabs vorher schon gute Gründe. Dass er sich jetzt den Autokraten dieser Welt anbiedert und dafür die Auorität Ungrans Ratspräsidentschaft ausnutzen will ist doch nur die letzte in einer Reihe EU-feindlichen Handlungen.

Am Ende müssen wir mit der EU einfach weg vom Einstimmigkeitsprinzip, damit man auch Länder wie Ungarn bestrafen kann für solches Verhalten.

It’s almost like the ruling elite of the UAE don’t give a fuck about Islam besides it being the best tool to ensure their power.

I don’t know why this isn’t a bigger deal. There should be a public outcry, sanctions and called in ambassadors

Interesting, what app is that? Just so I can steer clear of it…

HellPirates is other people?
