Not true; I don't have Android and I don't need it.

Now before you go and jump to point that libhybris uses android drivers, that is completely different thing; drivers are drivers and contain nothing related to the android runtime system.
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/new...of-hp-laptops/ is just an example.
there is a possibility that there could be something fishy like this in the android drivers too.

Yo wot? I have not seen anything promoted like that, can you be more specific?

I cannot comment on that since I don't need to use android on anything. There are plenty of people who think that one should run some specific OS or environment to accomplish what they want to do; In my opinion this is pretty uninformed behaviour.

It is true that most of the high-end mobile hardware comes preinstalled with android but this is pretty much like most high-end computers come preinstalled with Windows or MacOS... it doesn't mean one has to keep the OS the device comes with

The problem with Windows is that any code you run in the system, whether it be in the drivers or other system components or in userland software can pretty much access anything; The system is very opaque to the user as it is made up of binary components which have undocumented and convoluted relationship to each other, there are just too many places to hide.
For the libhybris case; android drivers are used in such a way that it is if not impossible, anyway very difficult that a trojan hidden there could do any harm; When the library is compiled only the interfaces needed by the Mer libraries are linked to. A potential baddie there cannot install system hooks which would enable it to perform its acts.
(But of course this means you need to compile it all yourself, don't ever trust binaries given to you by someone else...)

This is a Noble Act, methinks

rsync -av /home/nemo/ toosa.swagman.org:/home/nemo/
Better still, run it in crontab.

To me it is enough that it is doable.

glibc i'm not aware of any of this stuff. we all hate android but we all depend on it (sailfish users) whether you like it or not even sailfish is promoting android (sony x n custom roms) and android just works whatever you want to do but not sailfish.
I don't mind using Android applications on Sailfish, and I do use them. It's a bit like running Java applications or Python applications on desktop. It might not be optimal, but if there's no other alternative or they are the best alternative available then why not. And on Sailfish that's often the case as many native applications are missing.
But to run the whole OS on some Java runtime to me seems like lunacy that I'd rather avoid. I like having a real unix-like operating system underneath that I can access as the user that is in control of the device. I don't like being the user that the device controls/restricts.

Your contacts/pictures/whatever are never out-of-date.

But kudos for that being how you’d like to use a device.
