If you use mobile apps, I strongly encourage you to figure out how to pay app developers who publish full source code, under free licenses.
Especially those who go to the effort to make their apps work on the Mobile GNU OS, as well as the duopoly mobile OS (Android and iOS). So you can keep using them if you escape Goggle and grApple's clutches, by getting a Mobile GNU device like the PinePhone or Librem5 (and hopefully many more to come)

If you make mobile apps for a living, I strongly encourage you to figure out how to make your apps work on the Mobile GNU OS, as well as the duopoly mobile OS (Android and iOS). So people can keep using them if they escape Goggle and grApple's clutches, by getting a Mobile GNU device like the PinePhone or Librem5 (and hopefully many more to come).
Hopefully you'll also publish full source code for your apps under a free license, ideally a copyleft one.

If you work on a Mobile GNU OS, like @postmarketOS or @mobian, I strongly encourage you to make it as easy as humanly possible for app developers to make one app version for Mobile GNU OS. Which works on any variant, rather than having to play whack-a-mole with distro-specific bugs.
Bonus points for coming together to create a dev environment that can spit out versions for many different mobile OS. As many as possible.

Hmm, ok. When I finally figure out how to install the current version of @postmarketOS on my Pinephone, I'll give that a try.
If we all do these things, as people who use and develop apps, and fully-libre mobile OS, we can bring about a radical change. Replacing the surveillance appliances devices we're all carrying around, serving the interests of enshittified corporate vendors, with palmtop computers that instead serve us, the people who carry them.
We can do this. We just need to work together.
