thanks but i'd rather not have russian proprietary software on my phone
The "Russian" part is not the problem here
I also felt that way first but ultimately resigned as I couldnt find a decent alternative. Just curious, are you concerned about spyware/potentially malicious updates or do you just want to be sure/free of proprietary software?
i want nothing to do with russia as long as they commit war crimes and break the law of nations
Might as well be on the safe side and use an American or Chinese one. /s
or israeli
Well ultimately its also just a russian nerd building a nice program, but I get where you're coming from. Good luck with your search and hopefully you'll find what you're looking for.
