As Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled in the future. They’re going to eventually ban adblockers for chromium. We need to quickly respond with alternatives to android, we must end this market consolidation.

      Thats the beauty of it. You dont need to code for any large project to be able to contribute. We need people test it on old phones (and new ones if they wish) and report back their findings in an organized fashion. We need people to tinker with the cameras so we can get them to work at some point, we need help with proper documentation, people to spread the word, you name it.

      But to answer your question, its not one language. Its linux, the base is C, then there are the desktop environments. Some is config files written in yaml, some is css. Most people dont comprehend how ginormous linux as a platform really is and how much potential there is to help.

      Check postmarketOS.org for opportunities to help out.

        Yeah I started doing git with bug testing.

        Most devs are happy to have someone file a competent bug report with: issue, environment specs, steps to replicate and screenshots/recordings.

        I’ve gone back and forth with devs testing things like game mods and android FOSS apps.
