Huawei launched HarmonyOS in 2019, a few months after the Trump administration blocked U.S. firms from working with the Chinese company.

        Careful, the mods consider what I said radical and breaking lemmy rules (gestures vaguely). Apparently independent operating systems are a taboo here.

          I did not remove it, and I do not think your xenophobic pity is required here about OSes made outside of USA. You would probably have been okay if a European country, submissive to USA, would have made such a compromised OS, so that their ChatControl and all those shenanigans would be part of it I guess?

            Not sure where you’re getting that from but okay. I’m not going to argue with you. I also didn’t know that stating that a political party is shit was xenophobic, I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I hope you have a great day.

        I googled an article, said they started off as modder AOSP and are now not able to run Android apps anymore?

        https://www.huaweicentral.com/harmonyos-next-is-more-than-just-eliminating-the-android-asop-code/

        The gibberish about HarmonyOS “optimization” makes no sense though. One doesn’t simply rip out the whole kernel from an OS.

            I thought everyone decided “jfgi” in online discourse was a toxic years ago. It’s the same attitude as :

            chemtrails make you sick!

            How so?

            go do your own research

            If you’re going report on something, provide a little more information than just “no”. It’s more helpful, better for the community, and in 5 years time when the facts are different, there’ll still be a reference of what was factual in the past.

              The flip side of this argument is people asking for references for things that are well known and completely not controversial, as happens to be the case here. We’re not talking about some conspiracy theory. We’re talking about the basic fact that OpenHarmony exists, and this fact is trivially verifiable. This is known as sealoining.

              I don’t really follow your logic, since the open source OS itself is not tied to the bootloader. This is code that could be run on phones with open bootloaders. Everybody benefits from Huwawei developing an open source operating system as far as I can tell. So, not sure what you can’t get behind here.

                  I get why people want open source running on open hardware. However, my point is that the code for HarmonyOS is perfectly usable for that. So, again, I fail to see what the problem with supporting the development of an open source mobile operating system that could be used on open hardware, once it exists, in the future. The thing you’re describing doesn’t really exist right now, aside from some very niche Linux phone projects that can’t be used as daily drivers by most people.

                  Sometimes I feel like people who get too much into open source ideology start missing the forest for the trees.

            I read it recently here and yes it’s pretty old effectively. Since they done HarmonyOS NEXT apparently three times more efficient than Linux. It will not be compatble with APK.
