people did queue up to buy windows 95 at midnight on launch day, and it was covered by national tv news. but that was a long, long time ago.

instant messaging systems are significantly more important than telephone service these days, and the government should mandate an open and fully interchangeable protocol as they did with the telephone.

the only protocol government will mandate will include encryption backdoors for security services

there were dozens, maybe even hundreds of designers involved in material but they apparently spent all their time shooting extremely masturbatory videos where they film pieces of paper overlapping in a special studio and forgot to make a decent design system and in the 7 years since forgotten even that layering part

there's like, 15 seconds in this seven minute video where they're actually talking about concrete aspects of what material design is

(none of those are in the "what is material design" segment)

Google wanted to do this in the iOS maps app when they were providing the data for it. instead Apple chose to pay about $2 billion per year maintaining its own maps specifically to avoid that.

and now, what, google doesn't want people switching over to apple maps so it's not putting annoying poo poo in its own ios app?

'You're Telling Me in 2023, You Still Have a 'Droid?' Why Teens Hate Android Phones

DEB HARRISON lives in a house divided. The mom of teenagers, based in Hudson Valley, N.Y., says her children agree on a lot, but they cannot seem to get on the same page about their cellphones. Her youngest, Kira, 15 years old, has an Apple iPhone 11, because that’s what all her friends have. She didn’t want to be “the odd one out,” said Harrison.

Her stepson, Justice, 16, opted for the Motorola One 5G UW, which uses the Android operating system made by Google. He knew his choice was controversial, but that’s exactly why it appealed, said Harrison. “His friends that have iPhones will make fun of him for not having one,” she said, but he apparently doesn’t mind the attention.

Where does this operating-system snobbery come from? Melissa Jones, a former teacher in Lebanon, Ind., observes that, among students, it’s considered most important to own a new, up-to-date phone. And judging by the copious TikTok content that pits users of the two operating systems against each other—with Android most frequently the butt of the joke—many teens associate Androids with older technology, and older people, no matter how new the phone actually is.

“You’re telling me in 2023, you still have a ’Droid?” says 20-year-old online creator Abdoul Chamberlain during a video posted in April. “You gotta be at least 50 years old.” The video goes on to say that only parents have Androids, and despite the persistent claims from Android users that features like the cameras or battery life are better on the Android than the iPhone, Chamberlain refuses to get one.

Other videos more somberly describe the experience of showing up to high school with an Android phone and being called “broke” or “medieval” by the poster’s peers. Still more describe the feeling of being the lone Android user in a group chat of iPhone owners, shamed by texts which, when rendered in Apple’s proprietary iMessage platform, appear in a revelatory bright green rather than the cool blue of messages sent between Apple devices.

it really is incredible that Google feeds ads to maps users in Android but doesn't in iOS. iOS users are much more valuable ad targets, but they've also got another option for maps.

Google's Android platform is protected by several additional barriers to entry and expansion, including strong network and scale effects and high switching costs and frictions. For example, if an Android user wants to buy an iPhone, they are likely to face significant financial, technological, and behavioral obstacles to switching. The user may need to re-learn how to operate their smartphone using a new interface.
