Android is also, in principle, open source. You can use non-google forks if you want.

Google is about to impose a restriction on app developers even on F-Droid and the like: you must register and be approved by Google before your app will install on Android, no matter how you distribute it. This will give Google the power to identify and shut out any developer making politically inconvenient apps. And Google will jump to the demands of the US fascist regime too, so all your apps for boycotting the USA, thwarting ICE, chatting through unmonitored channels, etc., could easily be shut down.

This will leave us with no major mobile platforms that will run whichever software the user chooses to install.

Google is about to restrict all that, by preventing installation of anything they haven't approved. Developers will have to register their personal information with Google no matter where they publish their apps. This eliminates developer privacy and gives Google the power to shut down any developer whose apps they don't like. I don't know whether there will be fees involved in registering With Google.

I wouldn't be surprised if developers of "boycott USA" apps get shut out, along with anyone else whose apps do politically or corporately inconvenient things.

I suppose it doesn‘t take much to dominate Danish download charts.

I'll have you know that tens of Danes have smartphones! Even Børge has one, and he still wears clogs to church.

Jokes aside, while it wouldn't seem impressive numerically, charts are relative. Eg if a population is only 100, having your app downloaded 50 times still means 50% reach.

So it may be insignificant from the app developers POV, but it speaks volumes about the general state of the Danish people's mind.

We're talking about a country that were front and center, ruining a lot of men in my generation, when GWB sounded the article 5 bugle after 9/11, went looking for WMD in Iraq, where "made in the USA" was seen as a quality stamp, and where we throughout my childhood have had live TV transmissions from a Danish 4th of July party. It's in this country, that one of the most downloaded apps is the "fuck America and their stupid brands" app.

FFS we were still buying F35s and negotiating Patriot missile systems after Trump was re-elected and started looking at Greenland like it was a 12 year old girl.

If it did, it would clear out your bank account, and have you deported. ONE STAR, I'd make it zero if I could.

Pushtoleave is good anyway, here’s some other maybe useful apps (not all of them are useful in every area or for every product category, though)

Doubt they'd publish it in f-droid, but it is not prohibited to sell services on f-droid. You only need the app to be open source. Let the app connect to the scan server and the users pay to run scans.
