  • People are going to complain no matter how they try to make money, but this should at least have been opt-in with clear consent. The alternative of course is being beholden to Google search referrals. They can’t photosynthesize funds.

    Vivaldi, Brave, and their stans are getting their pitchforks ready, forgetting that they don’t have to do the hard work of developing an engine because Google already does that for them.







  • Except this isn’t a privacy community, this is a FOSS community, and OP mentioned they wanted an app on F-Droid, not anything about privacy.

    I believe the idea that “FOSS is only about privacy and nothing else, therefore proprietary apps with no network access are the same as FOSS apps” is absurd and harmful to the free software community, so I downvoted you based on that. Privacy is important but free software is much more than just privacy.




  • What’s that looking like? I’m aware of Anbox but IIRC that runs a full Android runtime and I’ve seen mixed reports of it working.

    Personally I’ve been kicking around the idea of an API compatibility layer for Android, so an Android app could be built as a standard Java jar and run on top of OpenJDK. I’m not concerned with binary APK compatibility, but there are many apps on F-Droid that I would like to run on non-Android Linux, perhaps without the baggage of something like Anbox. I don’t know what it would entail, if there is any interest, or if it’s even possible though.
