I may have misunderstood, but Google isn't doing Android behind closed doors; it's just development. The released versions will still be as open as they are now, as far as I've understood.

Man I'm not going to dive into it but this reads like a FUD piece and I know the article explicitly calls out people who dismiss evidence as FUD, but please read just the first point that 'Tor is compromised':
the agency has worked on several methods that, if successful, would allow the NSA to uncloak anonymous traffic
If succesful, implying that they haven't been. I'd love to read the paper but I'm European and they block me from clicking it, citing GDPR issues :-)
promised to reveal how a $3,000 piece of kit could unmask the IP addresses of Tor hidden services as well as their users.
a much anticipated talk at the Black Hat hacking conference was abruptly canceled.
The university cancelled the speech and cited no reasons but I can think of several legal ones even if the device didn't work. No proof.
the FBI is able to de-anonymize Tor users and discover their real IP address remains classified information. In a 2017 court case, the FBI refused to divulge how it was able to do this,
I can fly. No, I don't have to prove it.
What is a 'scene' in this context?
Meshtastic
BOINC
Tor
I2P
Just off the top of my head. Meshtastic is probably the most similar to Helium but I don't know what Helium is and their landing page makes me not want to. BOINC supports projects not in the official lists, just google around.
what about this is crypto mining?
Anubis is provided to the public for free in order to help advance the common good. In return, we ask (but not demand, these are words on the internet, not word of law) that you not remove the Anubis character from your deployment.
If you want to run an unbranded or white-label version of Anubis, please contact Xe to arrange a contract.
This is icky to me. Cool idea, but this is weird.
Linux is truly extensible and it is the part I both love and struggle to explain the most.
I can sit at my desktop, developing code that physically resides on my server and interact with it from my laptop. This does not require any strange janky setup, it's just SSH. It's extensible.
Any file manager on Linux supports this
I just type sftp://[ip, domain or SSH alias] into my file manager and browse it as a regular folder
That doesn't really change that it's one company hosting it. Unless you're willing to make 10 different accounts because your super-FOSS friends aren't willing to join each others instances?
Yeah, I know! Don't say that too loud, though. Proton and Tuta are the precious baby boys who can do no wrong in most "privacy" communities.
