  • I dont use any of this simple apps but im glad that someones have forked the apps source code and go further with them if i can i will give my contribute im not a android developer expert but i know the basics.

    The constants updates of klotin code and android source code itself gives me less motivation…

    Is not hard to code its hard to keep updated.

    The question here is why some company invests in opensource code to flood the apps with trackers instead of created from scratch?

    The answer unfortunately is simple 10% of all android users understand and cares about privacy and foss apps 90% dont understand or does not care about that.

    That means 90% of android users soon or later are giving for free a lot of privat data to this companies and they can sell and/or use to make profit or booth.

    How can we change this?

    We can’t… there is only two ways to change this and they are not within our reach

    1 on the shool everyone should have lessons about privacy on the internet.

    Which shool take the initiative to start??..

    2 create a law that prohibit companies to colect privat data.

    Less liked to see the light of the sun…


  • Well if its opensource anyone can easly get ride of the adds. I agree with you that developers schould be paid but there is many ways to be paid we all fight for privacy and against adds on the internet using adblocks for example i personaly always pay for developers fairemail and typewise to rename few but i dont like to be forced to pay and in between my phone are establishing connections to the adds servers exposing ip addresse connection times and so on adds are not only adds there is a lot of metadata that can be extracted from adds. And finally the purpose of developing opensourse apps is to serve the community with more friendly apps than the big companies offers to us. But… its just me saying that…
