       Apparently, #Google has lost track of their goal for #Android "We wanted to make sure that there was no central point of failure, where one industry player could restrict or control the innovations of any other. " https://web.archive.org/web/20120501080416/http://source.android.com/about/philosophy.htmlThat page is 404 Not Found now...#KeepAndroidOpen

       @indigotime That's a link to the source code for the source.android.com website, specifically the "jb-dev" branch which was last updated in 2012.  Nice idea to look at the source code, here you can see the actual commit where they removed the "philosophy" in 2014:https://android.googlesource.com/platform/docs/source.android.com/+/a336f0618e187b37297f53f385818cd4bc66e7fc%5E%21/#F0

       Hey #Google, cool you're adding a bit of #BinaryTransparency.  Unfortunately, it doesn't mean much without #FreeSoftware #OpenSource and #ReproducibleBuilds. When can we expect you to adopt those practices?https://blog.google/security/bringing-binary-transparency-to-the-android-ecosystem/For the record #FDroid has offered binary transparency since 2017 https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver/-/merge_requests/226And we even offer binary transparency for your #Gradle and #AndroidSDK binarieshttps://f-droid.org/2021/02/05/apis-for-all-the-things.html#binary-transparency-logsHow about expanding your logging to all your binaries?

       @EUCommission I fully support the DMA!  Let's keep up the good work and make that we fully enforce effective laws like this.  There is still so much to be done

       Hey UX designers of the world! And all you people making #software!  How about we stop making ever more complicated methods of managing #notifications, #DoNotDisturb, #DigitalWellness etc and instead focus on reducing the amount of time-on-screen spent for each task?  We need to stop thinking about #engagement and think about #efficiency.  We need to recognize the nature of #DigitalMedia makes us forget about the analog world.  Being #online exacerbates that.

       @danialbehzadi that would be great! Here are two examples of how people did that:* https://f-droid.org/2022/04/25/from-user-to-contributor-and-beyond.html* https://cketti.de/2021/01/14/my-first-year-as-a-full-time-open-source-developer/Sadly, in Europe/US, I think most people believe they can't donate to someone in Iran because of sanctions. It would help if you explained the details of that. I don't know the answer. One thing to check would be if you are eligable for NLnet grants. They don't fund work on Debian directly, but they do fund work bootstrapping key tools like Android SDK or Gradle

       @IzzyOnDroid @fdroidorg A blanket ban harms more than it helps. There needs to be trust in maintainers. That's what FOSS is about. It is easy to spot AI slop in code.For example, we get merge requests created with AI that are tightly focused. If we don't allow such things, we set ourselves up to be DDoSed by AI bots. They can spam a project with small, reasonable fixes that then cannot be merged when anything AI is banned. We'd have to do weird things to fix bugs just because of the ban
