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

    It would be more interesting if it was open source.

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

            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 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.

        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?

          I don’t need to wait and see, genocide is being committed right now. I also love how you use the fact that US committed prior atrocities to justify this one. Brilliant defence!

          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.
