@gischpelino@mastodon.online @gray@bark.lgbt @jolla@techhub.social Pick the lesser evil. SailfishOS is a (mostly) open source OS thats gradually opening up. Firmware is closed. Android with GMS is a closed source OS (if we are talking about device distributions). Firmware is closed too. Besides that, due to regulations and other stuff, no SoC will ever be fully "open". Even ath10k has proprietary blobs.

@elly@donotsta.re @gray@bark.lgbt @gischpelino@mastodon.online @jolla@techhub.social Exactly. I'm a very happy person running an (almost) entirely open and ported by me boot chain on my MTK. I would've never had that privilege on Qualcomm chips. I hate people screaming "Mediatek is proprietary bullshit!" because of the chinese phone markets of 2012-2015 where nobody shared kernel source. Blame it on the vendor? Hell no, what a great phone they sold me... hmm... who to blame it on... my other phones have Qualcomm. It has to be MediaTek then!!!
