       @freemo @footjamfan @bonifartius @lupyuen If you signed the RMS letter you most likely did it with a commit that has your email address on it, so it's pretty trivial to get to.

       @freemo This is **total count**, right? Interesting. Do we have an explanation for the momentary spikes, in either direction? Is it a network outage and the crawler failed, or is it via Git history getting rebased/altered/whatever?

       @freemo This also might explain the change in acceleration.

       @T045T @tindall The problem is that "apps" think they "have to be" available on both platforms. Why can't companies just make a stance and say "Fuck the app store, we don't swallow that"?If I was a Web dev, I'd love to just say "Fuck Chrome users". If Microsoft can say the same wrt. Teams calls not working in Firefox, I can 🖕 chromies too.Although I'm not a web dev. But the stuff I work on is *mainly Linux*.

       @T045T @tindall Imagine if an app service so ingrained and central to the younger generations like Discord or TikTok or whatever basically went "fuck your app stores" and just released an APK. Want to be in? Use a device and ecosystem that allows you to be in!Fight the fire with the fire, the too strong centralisation would dogfood itself to hell pretty damn quickly.Keep it up for some years, and the iPhone becomes the next Blackberry.

       @tindall @T045T We have always had downloaded MSIs and EXEs and DEBs for our software. We install device drivers from EXEs and ZIPs. An apt repository is nothing more than a glorified (and human-unreadable) index of a bunch of DEB files and some metadata.What makes APKs so different? We've been going a decade with software just being available without anyone controlling it.Malware existed beforehand, too.

       @tindall @T045T I know what changed. People today start using computer too young of age, they don't burn themselves hard with Malware ridden cracked games or cheat binaries, and they don't learn how to practice safe warez, how to back data up, etc. etc.What changed is humanity becoming careless, and in terms of IT literacy, kind of incredibly stupid...I could go on a rant about video games with automatic matchmaking too, but I guess you can extrapolate that part.
