Probably.
Last year, the teams responsible for Pixel hardware and Android software were merged into one division, and Google today announced a “voluntary exit program” for employees working in the Platforms & Devices group.
At least there's some plausible reasoning for this, instead of blanket headcount reduction to pad profits. Reasoning doesn't change much of course.
Why not just Chromium?

Is it possible that young people who didn't turn out to vote had independently reached similar conclusions to the ones who marched after seeing what was happening in Gaza with their own eyes?
There was another presidential candidate other than "Genocide Joe," who knew that as far back as March 2024 75% of Democrats (higher among youth) were against the Israeli actions in the war. She didn't change the US policy towards the conflict. When asked on October 8th if there was anything she'd have done differently than Joe, she said "Not a thing comes to mind."
Do you think the youth turnout could have been higher if Kamala materially shifted her policy on Israel and Gaza, once she was the nominee?
If she maintained a widely unpopular policy among Democrat youth, do you expect the electorate to fall in line instead of the politician representing the electorate? Would that not be undemocratic?
If most network media is owned by the same people who fund politicians and pay for the policies politicians espouse, including unconditional support for Israel, doesn't it sound plausible that the coverage of the protests was presented as far-left extremism in order to marginalize the opinion that US should curb support for the war and make it unacceptable, in the hope that the vast swaths of democrats would be shamed out of it? Doesn't that sound like a gamble they were willing to make, given they knew most democrats disagreed, in an attempt to keep funneling money for the war, despite what the electorate wanted?
At least to me, these are more likely explanations behind the lower turnout.
I'm not trolling and I'm not asking to change your opinion or anything. Just positing some Qs and explanations for you to consider. Don't feel the need to defend yourself.
Where did you hear what the far left did?
Chavez-DeRemer was the only Republican co-sponsor and one of three congressional Republicans to support the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) strongly opposed by business groups. The act would give workers more advantages when organizing or joining unions and bargaining with employers, also weakening state right-to-work laws. She was supported by Teamsters President Sean O'Brien for the position of Secretary of Labor, who thanked President-elect Trump for the nomination, noting her support of the PRO Act. Her nomination was opposed by some business interest groups.
Could be worse, but I'm still skeptical until proven otherwise.
Any word from O'Brien on the latest events?
