@fdroidorg here's a classic #Google tactic: use "open source" to get devs hooked, then gradually slip in proprietary bits. #AOSP's core apps move ever more towards proprietary, and they also do this with libraries like com.google.ar:core https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/issues/1538
@fdroidorg is dedicated to enforcing #FreeSoftware for #Android apps. There is big money pushing hard to make people slip, Google is one of those. I've been working on free software since 1994, and from what I've seen, this approach is the only way to make progress. If no one enforces it, then everyone just slips into proprietary software.

#Kotlin Native download executables from the internet and executes them. It bypasses the gradle verification methods. Anyone know if it does any of its own?
Anyone in "the West" having a hard time understanding why Russians follow Putin, think back to Cold War days. We were taught that Soviets were just itching to kill us, and we needed a strong defense. For example, Red Dawn was taken seriously in 1984 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_I4WgBfETc
