KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

@kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen Maybe let's port lineage OS and Ubuntu touch to more devices and let Google stagnate like the pond it's become?

@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje some banking apps are almost required. Ex. some banks I'm with require it to do certain expected features, excluding withdrawal/deposit.

I've also seen one provider (wish I remembered the name) that explicitly stated they'll close your account if the app is not used every 30 days or so...

Hence why I have two phones...

@jessienab @olivenolje Ha thats ridiculous of them - if banks actually cared about 2FA for security they wouldn't use mobile phones for that they're too easily hacked; they'd insist on key fob devices instead.

Of course its actually about building a surveillance network and the banks get a cut of the profits

@kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen Not to be rude, but as an average user/developer what's the issue at stake here?

[fdroidorg@floss.social]

@toadofsky @kde @keepandroidopen https://keepandroidopen.org/ has a section for users too.

Simple example, you want to install a nice app your friend made/recommended, you run stock Android, installation is rejected. The end.

@Stem @kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen But this is the only thing we can do.

Apple and Google, 2 choices for apps from where we sit, and both are partners in crime. END MONOPOLIES. Capitalism has become extortion when conglomerated.

Tear everything apart and build it from scratch, the entire system has been subverted to evil.
