Did you know that #XScreenSaver (yes, the collection of screensavers for X11) is available on Android?

And that #Google requires it to have a privacy policy in order to be available in the Play Store?

And that the maintainer chose to crowd-source a privacy policy where every item starts with "Unlike Google"?

It's become a great list of all the privacy violations Google did and still does. And I thought that it's gonna be long, but it's even longer than I imagined.

@scy What's the use case for an Android screen saver?

On my phone, I want the screen switched off when not in use, to save battery.

I have a tablet which is in use in the kitchen as a #HomeAssistant dashboard - this is permanently plugged in so no worries about battery life. But it exists so that we can see things at a glance, so we don't want a screen saver there either.

@TimWardCam @scy

To state the obvious:
You do not have a use case for a screen saver? Then do not use it.

@residuum @scy Sure. But that doesn't stop me being curious as to the use cases that other people have.
