Today's Android drama:

* Someone posts an extremely spicy implementation of a basic app on r/androiddev that essentially says, "All recommended best practices for Android dev are trash, just use Java and ditch all of Google's compat APIs": https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/1c5vjhi/i_see_your_enterprisegrade_jetpack_compose_11mb/
* Everyone laughs at this person for being a crank
* Turns out: They are the author of mastodon-android! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android
* Aaaaaand this extremely dubious fork of AndroidX: https://github.com/grishka/LiteX

It would be nice if Mastodon's Android client weren't written and maintained by a crank who is unable to collaborate effectively or distinguish between good and bad dependencies. (Same problem, honestly)
