While this is not a Long-Term Support (LTS) version, it's an important step towards the next LTS release, Java 25, coming in September 2025.

This explains why an Android device from 2015 can't connect to modern sites secured by a Let's Encrypt cert.

But a much older 2010 MacBook or 2013 iPad, still can.

And that's with default built-ins, before we get to strategies like replacing IE/Safari with Firefox ESR (which can even enable Windows XP to browse the modern web), or replacing Google Android with PostmarketOS.

Compare this to Apple, e.g. an iPad from 2013:
* ships iOS 7,
* runs new major iOS 12 from 2018,
* support updates to 2023.

a MacBook or iMac from 2010:
* runs new major macOS release from 2016,
* with support updates to 2019.

That's 5 new major releases you'll see, and 10 years of long-term support, e.g. a new TLS root cert for Let's Encrypt.

@SordidAmok and most importantly: Demand #repairability and #LongTermSupport for devices.

@sodiboo @tauon @puppygirlhornypost2 @silly I don't think it's much of a "#freedom" on #iOS but rather that the few devices and OS versions in circulation, alongside everyone from #jailbreaker to #malware (espechally #govware #developers) want to crack it open result in way more personnel and money behind it.

  • OFC the fact that the #Android experience is worse from that POV is the lack of #regulation re: #repairability and #openness that would make shit work. Most cheap #phones are done with even cheaper #SoC's by manufacturers who can't be assed (or frankly don't give a shit at all!) when it comes to #Linux #mainline support. (I mean, you've seen the video where @SexyCyborg demanded a vendor to give her the sourcecode as per #GPLv2 for her device?)

Granted @GrapheneOS does limit their support to devices that can comply with their #security standards.

  • The issues are mostly caused by hostile app developers that specifically decided to knee-jerk their users / customers for no good reason.

I do wish for both vendors like #Fairphone to up their game and regulators like @EUCommission to actually push for more #transparency, #openness and #LongTermSupport of #Smartphones, because #ManufacturedEwaste like #SOYES, #WiKo, #Unihertz and others that ship #outdated #AndroidDevices and never even a single update are a major problem!

  • I don't blame projects like @LineageOS that they can't cover every device & SoC even tho they propably have the widest compatibility, I just think that there needs to be pressure that manufacturers don't just vomit stuff on the market and let customers frustratingly figure out the rest.

I do have to give #Apple credit where it is due, and that is that #iOS does have consistency and accessibility nailed down very well. Something that they obviously are able being the "#BenevolentDictator" of a #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider - platform.

  • Obviously since they are the #vendor for #hardware and the sole ["legitimate" / official] #distributor for any #Apps they do OFC cross-finance their relatively long #support with their 15-30% cut from #App #sales & #InAppPurchase|s they charge, which is why #AndroidPhones suffer the "#3DO syndrome": Needing to charge more since they only get to make money once with hardware sales and not after that, so there's no incentive for them to give a shit beyond "brand value" to care. #Google, #Samsing, #Fairphone and very few others do, but most don't as they close the books on the product once launched and sold out (angrily stares at Unihertz)...

Maybe one day the folks at @frameworkcomputer acquire Fairphone and decide to bring the same modularity to #Smartphones and get something done that makes it easy to maintain long-term and that even #GrapheneOS are willing to support.
