There is probably licensed code in there somewhere. Which means open sourcing it is really cumbersome. It would probably cost more money to open source it than to do the refund.

It's so weird that Google migrated to the pile of dung that is RCS instead of just fostering any of their existing chat protocols. Google Talk was working great 15 years ago...

The initial use case of Facebook was great. It let me keep in touch with old friends. But as soon as they diverged from just showing my friends posts in chronological order, I removed my account.

Never thought of that. Scary though.

Unless you live and travel within the EU. Then you can use your phone as much as you want and know that you won't get a higher bill than usual.

mundane , 3 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in Google Play Store listing apps installed from F-Droid that it cannot update

The package name is the unique id. If you want to distribute multiple variants (like two versions with differing signatures) they should not have the same identifier. If they are not the same the id/package name should not be the same.

Having different package names would also prevent the Google play store from trying to update it.
