In my opinion, René helped Google lose "all moral compass" by very actively preventing users from having control over their own devices. Under René Mayrhofer as Android Head of Security, it has become harder and harder to use rooted Android phones, because of the Play Integrity API. Even the fucking McDonalds app requires strong integrity, for some reason, so it can be hard to get working on a rooted Android phone.
Android was supposed to be the open operating system for phones, but Google is slowly eroding away all the openness Android had.

I wish they would just kill Reddit completely, so the remaining niche hobby communities I participate in on Reddit will finally move somewhere else. Lemmy is good, but but not enough people use it for the same niche communities to exist and thrive here, unfortunately.
