Hey everyone, just a quick update:

I’ve been inactive here on FossFinds because I’m currently busy with my final exams.
This period takes up a lot of focus and time, so I haven’t been able to post or reply like usual.

I’ll be back once my exams are over and catch up on messages and updates then (1-1.5 months).
Thanks for your understanding and support red heart red heart

PS: That doesn’t mean the channel will be completely inactive. Posts may still come, but there might be longer gaps between them since i prefer quality over quantity.

YTLitePlus

A community-driven tweak bundle that supercharges the official YouTube app on iOS with dozens of useful enhancements, It’s a fork of earlier YouTube Plus mods combining many popular tweaks into one powerful package.

⚠️ Note: YTLitePlus modifies the official YouTube app and isn’t a standalone official release — you must build or sideload it yourself, and some versions are not distributed directly on GitHub due to takedown notices.

There’s something important happening in the Android and open-source ecosystem that more people should be aware of.

A group of developers, organizations, and community members have come together under an initiative called Keep Android Open.

The main goal of this initiative is to protect the openness of Android; especially around custom ROMs, third-party app distribution, and the broader open-source ecosystem. Over time, we’ve seen increasing restrictions, tighter controls, and policy changes that can make life harder for independent developers and FOSS projects.

Android was built on open-source foundations. A big part of what made it powerful was the freedom to modify, distribute, and build upon it. Custom ROMs, alternative app stores, independent developers, all of this exists because Android was open.

But recently, there have been growing concerns about:

- Restrictions affecting third-party app distribution
- Increasing dependency on proprietary services
- Limitations that could impact custom ROM and modding communities
- Policies that may make independent development harder

Keep Android Open is essentially a call to preserve user choice, developer freedom, and fair access within the Android ecosystem.


Now, my personal opinion:

If you care about FOSS, privacy, custom ROMs, or even just having options beyond a single controlled ecosystem, this is something worth paying attention to. Even if you’re not directly affected today, these kinds of shifts shape the future of the platforms we all use.

I’m not saying panic. I’m saying stay informed.

As always, please read everything yourself and form your own opinion. Don’t rely only on summaries, including mine.

I know the petition might seem kind of pointless/useless, Infact in past I’ve even warned people not to spam it in chats myself during PlayIntegrity, but if bigger developers or well-known alternative app stores, and others stand up and protest together ike F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, Obtanium did, that could actually make a difference. I’m not talking about the petition alone, and honestly they’ve already done a good job with the open letter and everything they’ve put out so far. I really hope that after some solid criticism Google comes up with a better way to let people install APKs that don’t use Google’s Developer Console APIs.

At the end of the day it’s just a for-profit company, so I don’t have huge expectations from it.

And yes, there’s no need to spam chats with posts like that, as an moderator, I don’t like it either. I hope people will just come across this topic and at least voice their criticism of Google on platforms like X, since many big companies do pay attention to feedback there and sometimes respond to users’ concerns.

Thanks for reading, and have a really really good day :)
