Any ELI5 on how to run this for someone that is a zero on Android code?

Edit: nvm found the app on F-droid and it just installed and now running it

You can disregard OS and still contribute to it due to financial and corporative sense. The principle works as an evolutive algorithm and is ideologically agnostic. You don’t need to like FB or China for contributing to OS, they just do because it’s in their interests, and it’s in our interest, so whatever works.

Just use the code, fork it if you want to maintain it, and that’s it.

Going into these Puritan rants, twitter dramas, and character attacks will not write you code, nor make one better at writing it.

Donating to FUTO will not make them rich, it just supports their projects and interest in keeping them up. You don’t need to love them or agree with their views.

If they at some point deviate and go proprietary, anyone is free to fork their work till that point and continue. And someone will probably do.

See no reason on wasting time on dissecatting people, much less corporatist preachers.

I’m sorry, I tried to digest that write-up, but its just a spiteful personal wall of bs full of fringe leftist commentary and hate; the dude can’t hold himself from insulting anyone he names in there because they somehow don’t share his whatever perfect view of how everything is supposed to be. I can’t take this kind of bs, i didn’t even got to the third paragraph and already wanted to slap the guy and tell him to chill-dfq-off lmao.

If someone has a point, make the point, prove it, and then come up with the opinion based on that. (Like X did Y, hence X is an asshole.)

But in this case its quite clear the writeup is an “opinion first” look for proofs after situation.

Not even that. If the target has enough $ to pay a lawyer consultation or just doesnt care as to waste time/money on fighting for that hill; because any competent lawyer would have seen that the case is bs .
