  • This has pretty much been my philosophy with lemmy too.

    Additional stores, caches, and other storage layers massively increase the complexity of your system. Suddenly you have 3+ places where the user could be getting the data from, and any of them might contain stale or incorrect data, that isn’t linked or connected to primary source data.

    Even after you add 2 of these layers, troubleshooting and finding problems is only solvable by people who know intimately how all of these things are connected. So I’ve always tried to keep these extra layers out of the lemmy codebase.






  • Either that, or for chinese android OEMs to just refuse this. I have a Xiaomi android tablet where google play is entirely optional, and it doesn’t require any developer verification, and I greatly doubt they’d let google refuse to let them use their own app stores.

    I made an issue on the keepandroidopen repo about a "remove my app from google play pledge at least.



















  • There’s nothing preventing him selling the app or a premium version, while still open sourcing it. Free as in freedom, not as in beer. Open source makes no demands or says anything about how you choose to monetize.

    Someone releasing a fork nowadays seems even more difficult than downloading an unlocked apk anyway. If they want your app for free, they’ll get it.
