@scy@chaos.social What's the use case for an Android screen saver?
On my phone, I want the screen switched off when not in use, to save battery.
I have a tablet which is in use in the kitchen as a #HomeAssistant dashboard - this is permanently plugged in so no worries about battery life. But it exists so that we can see things at a glance, so we don't want a screen saver there either.

@TimWardCam@c.im @scy@chaos.social To state the obvious: You do not have a use case for a screen saver? Then do not use it.

@TimWardCam@c.im @scy@chaos.social it's the xscreensaver code, usable as an android live wallpaper. Which is usable as the background to your app launcher

@TimWardCam@c.im @scy@chaos.social Android has a screensaver feature, and they can be set as live wallpapers as well.

@TimWardCam@c.im @scy@chaos.social I think the main use case is as a vehicle to troll Google. 😁

@TimWardCam@c.im @scy@chaos.social you can use it as a live (animated) wallpaper.

@TimWardCam@c.im @scy@chaos.social : I have a TV that runs Android. I think that could use a screensaver.
