<p dir="auto">Take a look at that post first. The rest of this won't make any sense unless you do.</p>
<p dir="auto">What on earth does that have to do with Linux? Maybe Madthums is anti-Android because the Android kernel is a fork of Linux? It's not entirely clear from his post history what his opinion is on Android. But just for one quote, <a href="https://lemmy.world/post/23431128/14132350" rel="nofollow ugc">he did say</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">An Android is technically using the Linux kernel, but no one out of his or her mind would call an Android a Linux.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">He's made his disdain for F-Droid clear many times in the past, but I'm not quire sure how Madthumbs' original post is really relevant to F-Droid either. F-Droid's official repository doesn't include FUTO Keyboard (because <a href="https://gitlab.futo.org/keyboard/latinime/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md" rel="nofollow ugc">FUTO Keyboard's license</a> is <a href="https://isitreallyfoss.com/projects/futo-keyboard/" rel="nofollow ugc">not FOSS</a> and F-Droid only carries FOSS in its official repository.)</p>
<p dir="auto">FUTO Keyboard <em>can be installed via F-Droid</em> but <em>only because FUTO provides an F-Droid repository</em> that must be manually added to F-Droid. Blaming F-Droid for FUTO Keyboard's failings is like blaming your ISP because you don't like the pizza topping preferences expressed in a post you found on Facebook.</p>
<p dir="auto">Mind you, <a href="https://lemmy.world/post/48672398/24461066" rel="nofollow ugc">FUTO's fucking evil and deserves a huge amount of condemnation</a>. But I honestly think Madthumbs must be confused about <em>something</em> to be making that particular post in his anti-Linux community.</p>
