Nope. I already don’t listen to Drew and moved my code and donations from Sourcehut to Codeberg. You can do the work of cross referencing his claims, if you’d like.

Its Drew DeVault. After his agressive and frankly unnecessary smear campaign of RMS where he took as much out of context as he could, and not being that much better himself (https://dmpwn.info/), I feel like any hot take the guy has needs to be taken with a grain of salt. If he doesn’t like something, he crusades.

11·2 months agoI tried to find the binary blobs in Signal for android but it looks like a Kotlin app to me. Maybe these were there at one point but were removed later, who knows.
Come to think of it I’m surprised that we can say “no Google play services” but in the same breath support MicroG as if the client apps have anything to do with which version of Play Services they support.
Sorry but F-Droid allows many apps that use “undesirable” networks and services but for no reason that I can see snuffs out the one wholly supported notification system on literally all android devices. Its plug and play. Its got no place in the “Free” part of FOSS but it’s still intentionally more challenging to get around.
Apparently the packaging requirements for F-Droid are more challenging than just “must be open source” and aren’t for everybody.

The “no Google Play services” alone are a non starter for many apps. My preferred messenger, Signal, is plenty open source and runs its own notification daemon, but cannot be found on F-Droid. I have to get it via Obtainium instead.
Why waste time when few words do trick?

Hell is fine if the alternative is an actual line editor
It is a point of contention if the spirit of writing an anonymous report while saying any gosh dang thing you want about somebody is in the spirit of ending their career or whatever. DeVault decided it was necessary to shit things up as much as he could /after/ the FSF had made their decision because he and whoever decided that it wasn’t good enough for them.
