  • There are some really popular FOSS apps for android, that are also on google play. Things like tasks.org , all the fossify apps, termux, joplin, ankidroid, thunderbird / k9, and many more.

    These being potentially removed from google play by developers due to a developer strike, would have more of an impact than KeepAndroidOpen’s current top strategy, which is for users to mass email their country’s regulators, which are easily ignored by either politicians or google.



  • I tried to open up an issue (and did a PR) suggesting a developer strike as a tactic (IE open source devs adding their names to a list to promise to remove our apps from google play if developer ID goes through) on the KeepAndroidOpen repo. As a dev whose made many android apps and have them on both f-droid and google play, I thought this would mean something.

    The maintainers of that repo have been ignoring me to death since April. I was told by the maintainer that the project was “leaderless”, but in reality it seems they’re very opposed to a developer strike, otherwise my PR would’ve gotten more attention.







  • Highly disagree with this.

    Even if you ignore the PRC’s primary materialist / world-historic acheivement over the last few decades (lifting more people out of poverty than any country in history), then you still have futuristic / sci-fi things like:

    ELECTRICITY MIX (PERCENTAGE)
    ============================================================
    2010:  [████████████████████████] 61% Coal  |  39% Clean
    2025:  [████████████████] 32% Coal           |  68% Clean
    2030:  [████████████] ~25% Coal (target)     |  75% Clean (target)
    ============================================================
    
    • Rapid development of fusion power.
    • Space missions like a planned moon landing possibly as soon as the 2030s, and planned mars landings for 2040s.

    These are star trek / bucky fuller level ideas.









  • For an even better analysis than you could ever get in a university class, I highly recommend reading Domenico Losurdo - Liberalism, a counter-history for a more detailed history of what liberalism is. Even from its very foundations and founding authors, it was white supremacist, pro-slavery, anti-worker, pro-colonialism, pro-workhouse and prison, etc.
