But there are plenty of apps that turn your phone into a webcam in the various app stores. I had best usage with droidcam, but there's going to be plenty open source app alternatives too. https://play.google.com/store/...

Because sentimental fools are attached to tradition and conservationism, and wish for things to remain the same for no other reason than to keep them the same.
The thing with “conservativism”, is that it is often called “hæritage” when it would pertain a foreign culture rather than one's own. However to me it is not a foreign culture since I live close to Rotterdam, so it's simply “conservativism”.
What I find interesting is that “progressives” of one culture often ally themselves with the “conservatives” of another, not realizing that in the foreign culture they are often seen as the conservatives who stick to outdated ideals that serve no function any more for it's own sake, simply because they do not wish for things to change.
Oh then please explain the name of the Scottish organisation "Scottish Heritage that looks after the conservation of our erm, what's that word again???oh yeah heritage

Software is progressing nicely, but I think the next major step will be along the lines of neuromorphic computing and the use of memristors in neuromorphic devices.

I have just come out of working with Android Automotive for the last 6 years and being the first to deploy it in a real car (whilst also working on lots of other very large OSS platforms previously)
Upstream is the only way, our SOC vendor was having to manage 500+ patches against android and linux which was an awful lot to manage everytime upstream changed.
I see the price of being able to use OSS is to be a good citizen and upstream those patches you have which will also benefit your by reducing your maintenance burden, and as stated in the article keep down fragmentation.
That said, Android will be changing to Fuchsia soon right so Linux will be a dead end for Android soon.
