    You can install Windows 95 or Ubuntu on your phone using an emulator app. Yet Android cannot emulate an older Android.

      Interesting… well if you can get Ubuntu then there is Anbox but I guess that’s probably not the same thing?

      And then also Linux must not be able to emulate it if you can’t get it to run through Ubuntu?

      Basically an overhaul of permissions in general. This is window dressing compared to Apple’s real work to secure their platform.

      Does it matter if a stingray doesn’t work to the majority of people who will never be targeted by law enforcement? No.

      Does it matter that there’s basically nothing stopping your apps sucking up all your data? Yep.

      When Google makes a change that makes Facebook’s share price tank I’ll be interested.

      I just hope app developers actually implement it. I’m not optimistic about that though. Most Android apps are too minimum effort for nice things like that. Just like how basically nothing implements smooth keyboard animations.
