"A job listing reveals the first details of Google’s fusion of Android and ChromeOS. "

"We know a little more about Google’s long-gestating plans to combine the best parts of Android and ChromeOS into a single OS thanks to a job listing for a product manager to work on 'Aluminium OS.' The job ad describes it as 'a new operating system built with Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the core.'"

They think I am going to touch that after what they did to android, hell no.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 14 points 5 hours ago

I wouldn't touch that with a stolen hand mounted on the end of a ten-foot barge pole.

A few decades ago I could have excited. A few years ago I would have been interested. Nowadays I'm just "more closed bullshit from google, meh"

[–] Redtrax@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 hours ago

Hard pass.

Can't wait for Google to drop this after a year leaving anyone who was using it fucked.

[–] LuigiMaoFrance@lemmy.ml 34 points 8 hours ago

I'd rather die

Wasn't this ~~Chrome~~ Fuschia?

[–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 17 points 7 hours ago

That wasn't built around agentic AI integration.

This will be.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 hours ago

Nah. I’m good.

[–] SpaceScotsman@startrek.website 5 points 5 hours ago

It'll be cancelled before it even launches

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 19 points 8 hours ago

Gotta stick AI in there for the stock price huh?

I wouldn’t mind if you could plug application intents into an MCP converter and then let models work with that.

I don’t really trust the idea of ai at the core.

Wasn't this posted like a week ago without the paywall?

[–] watson@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

I think it was on Thanksgiving, but the last few days have felt like a week

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 10 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Wasn't there already something like "Android for x86"?

[–] morto@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago

There's also BlissOS if you want to run android on a desktop with a more desktop-like gui.

QEMU

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 2 hours ago

QEMU is an emulator, what they're talking about is an android port to x86.
