+
+So I was asked to install an app to handle some social security and insurance
+information (no don't ask me I don't even know what that's supposed to mean, or
+what it's supposed to do).  The app asks for permissions to change system
+setting when I click on something that looks like notification button.  I
+suspect they intended to ask for push notification permission, but like, wow,
+so security, such suspicious.  On top of that, it's proprietary with explicit
+terms about not modifying or reverse-engineering it.
+
+I wish FSFE's [Public Money, Public Code](https://publiccode.eu/) movement were
+a global movement and not just for Europe.
