I don't understand why nobody did it in the past. It makes the experience so much better for normal users. I hope this becomes mainstream. Btw does it have any automatic analytics cache cleaning or something like that (so it doesn't grow 20 gigs of it in a year)? If so, make sure it cleans it periodically and not immediately when a piece of data becomes unneeded. On low end devices frequent write/delete cycles can be an issue
So it's fully local right? That's a really awesome system then. I'd probably recommend encrypting the data but that's not really necessary
Even if there are no proxied frontends already (like LibreTube for YouTube), it's a great idea for FOSS developers. But afaik it requires a proprietary component from GMS to work so it may be hard to make a frontend for
This is one of the very many confirmations of the fact that everyone who supports Israel is a terrorism and genocide supporter.
You can't copyright ideas. You just have to make sure it doesn't violate the real copyright (like characters and names and stuff). And a good open-source modern competitive game (classic games with graphics from 2007 are good but not for everyone) would indeed be a significant promotion of open-source, as well as a proof of it being a competitive development model
For the laptop, you can leave it with Windows but don't use it for anything except what requires Windows (e. g. don't use social media or store private photos on it). If you use it very often, consider dualbooting.
For your phone, make sure you use a custom ROM. If you need Google apps, there's stuff like microg (sandboxed Google apps that are either pre-installed in the ROM or you can add it to a ROM that doesn't come with any Google apps by default). Regular Google apps are very invasive and stock ROMs are even worse because they have their own telemetry. But I wouldn't recommend using obscure ROMs (especially unofficial builds).
There can be an issue with banking apps though. Recently Google replaced old SafetyNet system (which checked the system for root and unlocked bootloader) with a new one called Play Integrity. The problem with it is that 99% of custom ROMs can't fully pass Play Integrity so apps which require it (mostly banking and government apps) won't work. Also Snapchat and WhatsApp started banning custom ROM users recently. The only reliable way to avoid these issues is to have 2 phones: one on stock unmodified ROM (for banking apps and other things that require Play Integrity pass) and a degoogled phone with a nice reliable custom ROM (LineageOS and GrapheneOS are my recommendations but you can look at other ones like crDroid if you want more customization features). It can be a bit inconvenient but that's what you probably need if you want really good privacy
Also there's reliability. If a base dies, everything based on it dies too or at least needs a colossal amount of work to fix. The point about philosophy is very close as well. The base can go closed source, prohibit usage of itself etc
Oh ok then it's kinda FOSS indeed
There are a lot of projects like this (with Tiny11 being the most known) and people actually use them on older hardware or for hardcore gaming. Security is always a concern though
It is not FOSS so it shouldn't be posted in this community. I think you can find a more suitable one to post it on
Hmm that sounded a bit sus to me. I would highly suggest you not to work for unethical companies, mister/miss
