It is part of the SSSCA / CBDTPA / "Trusted" computing initiative. The large corporations want to control what you are allowed to do with your computer. This is where the phrase "digital rights management" comes from.

I am no lawyer, but I suspect what will be considered either fair use or infringing will probably depend on how the programmed AI model is used.

For example, if you train it on a book of poetry, asking it questions about the poetry will probably be considered fair use. If you ask the AI to write poetry in the style of the book's poems and you publish the AI's poetry, I suspect it might be considered laundering copyright and infringing. Especially if it is substantially similar to specific poems in the book.

I think it comes from the article seeming to be oblivious to all the other alternative android OSes.

There are many Android based OS for phones. Graphene is a privacy focused Open Source OS which already fills the niche Apostrophy supposedly does. https://grapheneos.org/

I think they may be talking about the "discount" tracker cards. The ones which you fill out an application to get, so you can get the special "discount" (really what the price used to be).

I don't use peertube much, but Chris Were sometimes does game videos. https://share.tube/c/ludochris/videos?s=1

There is also a setting under accessibility to turn off animations (at least on my phone--a Pixel 4a w/5g). It is in the color and motion section.

Not a lawyer and it has been a while since I studied this, but when one open source project uses another, they aren't really transforming the others code into a new license.

When GNU/FSF says a license is compatible with the GPL, they mean you can legally use the code with the GPL. More or less, the FSF says if you use a GPL code the entire project has to give end users all the freedoms in the GPL. The LGPL is slightly different in that it can be a separate library. They consider even dynamic linking a GPL project to require both projects to be covered under GPL.

This is why proprietary developers call the GPL "viral." GPL code "infects" all other code with its license. This is the deal you make when you use GPL code, and I think it is a fair one. You don't have to use their code.

I suggest you read the licensing bits of the Free Software Foundation's website. fsf.org and gnu.org

The real fdroid is not malware. Did you get it from f-droid.org?

The vendor's software may be spyware and not like you using something other than the stock keyboard. Though it may just be poorly written software which conflicts. Could be many things.

It looks like it is powered by a microcontroller. Maybe it isn't powerful enough to support epub?

From what I understand, YouTube chooses ads based on your location, demographics, and your watch history. Well, this isn't exactly right, because yt auctions the ad space on the fly, so it is a complex decision based on all those factors.
