holy fucking shit how is this fucking acceptable?
It's embarrassing. I just love receiving updates for it with no change log.
Wish I just got google android with no gapps.

well, do you personally know the people who make any of your other software?
why is this a problem, but running linux on a desktop isn't? it's the same thing, software made by people you don't know, for hardware not explicitly designed for that specific software

i use ubuntu so i know that canonical has made sure it has a high standard of quality
>>61795907
how do you know? is it because canonical is a company? you would automatically trust a company over a group of developers not under the title of a company?
>>61795924
because canonical is a business which means they have an incentive to make money by producing high quality software compared to hobbyists who have no incentive.

>canonical
>high standard of quality
Pick one.
>>61795948
the incentive for making good foss is that the software is being used by the developer(s) as well
with a for-profit company, the incentive is to make money, which doesn't explicitly mean making good quality software
each approach leads to different kinds of software though, with the former being aimed at devs or people who know what they're doing, since it was made for those people, while the latter is aimed at other people

that's always true unless you write all your software
