@coolboymew Just because it's open source doesn't mean that it is completely degoogled.
@xianc78 didn't google recently release the full source?
@coolboymew Yeah, but someone needs to check the source code, clean up all the telemetry and backdoors, and released a fork.
@xianc78 @coolboymew Google just inherited it
@PurpCat @coolboymew Are we sure Google didn't add anything to it since then?
@xianc78 @coolboymew they stripped out shit they couldn't license, it was abandoned by the time they inherited it.
Essentially it goes like this: Fitbit buys Pebble and kills it, Google inherits Pebble from buying Fitbit and at that point it's "historic" source sitting on their HDDs for legal/archival reasons.

@PurpCat @coolboymew Isn't Fitbit one of the tech companies that Trump tried to work with to implement red flag laws?
@xianc78 @coolboymew no idea but by the time Fitbit bought it they were "buying them for the patents/staff/IP" at that point so they killed it right away.
