.hg Android will really just spend a whole page telling how manifest permissions are low-level details with specific meanings and users shouldn't expect to understand what they mean just from reading their descriptions, instead of just changing the prose to be up-to-date, /accurate/, and non-misleading

@moonbolt I think Android is of at least two minds here: e.g. the whole setup where using BT started to require the location permission is far from "permissions have specific meanings".
I am sad about the lack of "can use network" permission, but kind of see how that could be misleading (it's hard~impossible to prevent two cooperating applications running on the same machine from communicating, at least according to Qubes folks). Eh, but similar things can be said about the location permission, which does exist~~~
