As shocking as when I learned the cuisine in China is Chinese.

    It would be more interesting if it was open source.

    It's no surprise at all considering how ecosystem and China focused it is

    My understanding is that it's mostly open.

    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 agree with that, there's a lot more to be done to get to truly open stacks, and it is unfortunate Huawei decided to make their stuff less open. I'm just pointing out that there is still value in open stuff they do publish.

    It was when it started but that hasn't been accurate for the past two releases.

    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.

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

    It's android based. They've tried to suppress all pieces mentioning it and they don't wanna speak about when the subject is mentioned.

    It's diverged quite a bit now, and nowhere did I see anybody deny that it's android based. What's the source for "hey don’t wanna speak about when the subject is mentioned"?

    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.

    if you think joe is "genocide", wait and see what will happen when donald goes back into the white house!

    where were these protests when it was the U.$. itself that was doing the invading? They probably thought that there were no civilians hurt in Iraq?

    "genocide joe" 🤦
