With the upcoming changes to how Google handle's app verification, the future of the android ecosystem looks pretty grim.

While there are calls to petition and protest, it is long past time to take our phones out of the hands of google and into the community.

With the mass tech layoffs, the ai storm taking jobs,etc, there are more than enough skilled devs with free time to make this happen. We as the community need to support them financially.

Please help spread the message in your various channels. If you're technically capable enough, start the process!

You provoked something worse:
You have exemplified like OP, you both know nothing about what you demand. Since I fail to both see radicle instances of all the projects listed in crossposted threads, I guess I can say you both are all talk, no act.
