      If free software hadn’t been burdened by a misogynist asshole leader for the last 30 years... ...maybe it would have produced a viable alternative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯pic.twitter.com/amrzhv1JMl

      I don't debate the first point, but Android is a viable alternative, saying otherwise is just being ignorant.

      Android is no more free software than iOS.

      That's not really true. While it could definitely be more free, you can actually get the source code and contribute to Android. There are closed source components, but iOS is vastly more closed.

      but the same technically applies to iOS because its underlying OS is Darwin, which is FOSS.

      No, Darwin is like Linux, the kernel. You cannot say a kernel is an operating system. In android, the operating system itself (AOSP) is FOSS, and the equivalent in iOS is not FOSS.

      Darwin isn't the kernel though. It's the XNU kernel plus some cribbed BSD code, a network stack, an Apple's API I/O drivers. It's more of a software distribution. and you *can* say the kernel is the OS because they're both generally defined the exact same way.

      Replying to @richkaczyn @jamezrin and

      if we're going by the nomenclature for a program that manages memory, schedules tasks, and runs other programs, the "operating system" and the "kernel" both fit this.

      Ok whatever, I don't agree with you but it's ok, it's my opinion vs yours. The point is that Android is a lot more open source than iOS, and you cannot dispute that.

      Android isn't more open-source for the fucking reason that on top of a freely distributable Linux kernel, the APIs and user interfaces on top are mostly proprietary. That's why the argument that Android is somehow more open than iOS is bullshit, my guy.

      It's not though. iOS is way more closed. I don't know how you can dispute that, it's not merely the kernel that is open on Android. The majority of the APIs and interfaces are open on Android, certainly a lot more than on iOS, which is tightly closed in a number of ways.
