A little bit overkill to use a dependency to just show a dialog. I agree that Google ia making Android less and less free with every new release, but show a damn dialog, no need to use this.

It's also pretty sloppily coded, with the same code repeated in both branches of the `if`...

If it was 2023 I would say someone just vibecoded a trivial android piece of code. But nowadays Android studio comes with Gemini agent integrated, and I doubt it would produce such terrible redundancy on a code so simple.
Sounds right. Though may aid in spreading the practice if it accumulates stars, goes viral on places like this?
I think creation of this repo is more of a statement than creation of utility.
I would say it's both a statement and a way to encourage other developers to "speak with one voice". Like handing out printed signs at a protest.
The library features localized warnings.
