They found that Hawaiians share the most Polynesian ancestry with people on Easter Island, followed by people on Mangareva, an island nearly 3,000 kilometers west of Easter Island.

That would explain all the Karen content on the internet

So America’s current administration could decide they don’t like someone for petty reasons and cut that whole country off from using one of the two most adopted phone OS in the world?

Yes but only WRT Play Services. AOSP is not affected. That’s why phones in China come with manufacturer specific replacements which is also why there are many different app stores there. Each manufacturer has their own.

Sanctioned nations shouldn’t have Android phones with Google Play Services in the first place.

Last year’s phone has more RAM and storage.

I like mine. Can’t speak how much changed in recent generations because it’s my first new phone in 4 years. Other than deleting Chrome and switching browsers to Iceraven and the launcher to Lawnchair as well as the keyboard to Gboard, I don’t think I customized much. Slight tweaks here and there but for the most part I was pretty content with the defaults which is rare for me. In the past I may have been shocked by crap on new phones I needed to get rid of but I actually think most Samsung modifications to Android are pretty good and I often prefer the Samsung feature to whatever the Google counterpart is.

I use that sidebar they have a lot. That AI Select thing is great and I set all Galaxy AI stuff to be on device. The only thing I dislike about AI Select is that a recognized song can only be played through Spotify which I don’t use.

I cannot speak for the entire range of devices out there but if a line of products is unobtrusively good for a long time, it surely retents its user base.

I just don’t know if it’s good to phrase it as “RHEL customers are legally allowed to share the code”, since as soon as they do it they won’t be allowed to be customers anymore lol (assuming Red Hat finds out)

It’s not good to phrase it the way Bing Chat does and claim that it’s illegal either.

Btw, I find it funny how short the memory of many users is. Canonical claims copyright for all compiled binaries of non-GPL code (this includes OpenSSL, Xorg, and Wayland, among many others): https://ubuntu.com/legal/intellectual-property-policy (“Any redistribution of modified versions of Ubuntu must be approved, certified or provided by Canonical if you are going to associate it with the Trademarks. Otherwise you must remove and replace the Trademarks and will need to recompile the source code to create your own binaries.”)

Bing Chat is wrong. RHEL customers are legally allowed to share the code. What Red Had can do, and that has nothing to do with the GPL, is to end the contract with the customer who shared the code, thereby according to the GPL the customer also no longer has any right to access the code. The GPL only applies to software distribution, not contracts outside copyright law.

Edit: Red Hat is under no obligation to share non-copyleft code of which there is plenty in a Linux distribution but they do. Just look at Apple: Take plenty of FOSS code, give back only a fraction. It sucks but it’s legal. That’s also why Apple moved away from GPL software – can’t even bothered to ship BASH with macOS.
