Not water proof and definitely big for its capacity.

Pixel 8 is nearly 3 years old. Battery is still perfectly fine.

You absolutely do need SDL, it's full of knowledge by humans from trial and error over years of using input devices in the real world.

You mean OpenSL ES? Is anyone actually using that on desktop? On Android there's https://github.com/google/oboe.

While Mesa has OpenGL ES it wasn't always available (for example not all drivers are using Mesa).

Good point. I think it would be fixable by using the Change Time instead of the Modify Time, because that changes when moving the copy over the original.

Good news, I've been working an adding file content hashing to Ninja: https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/pull/2735

That will fix the "switch branches back and forward" case :)

Audio APIs on Android are completely different than on GNU/Linux.

3D was also different (OpenGL ES vs OpenGL mess), only now it's starting to become kinda the same with Vulkan.

Well if it's GPL without CLA and they accept outside contributions, they can't relicense / make it propriatary. Unlike with MIT.

> Multiple citizens faced police raids, investigations, fines, or suspended sentences (jail risk if violated) for online posts calling Green politician Robert Habeck derogatory names like "idiot" or "moron," or sharing mocking memes [...]

The police raids were done because of the posted Nazi images, NOT because of the Habeck insults.

Sure thing, as long as it doesn't require any permissions. I have installed multiple apks on my phone from unknown people. Note that Google's requirement is also for completely permissionless apps like games.

Did your users really consider your app if it wasn't in the Play Store?

Only require Developer Registration for apps with READ_SMS then.

You can lock the bootloader again with GrapheneOS and many banking apps work.
