I've started integrating the new Anti-Features icons into #FDroid. Here's an early preview. Turned out even better than I dared to hope. Thanks @redplanet for designing the icons.

Because that is a very different thing.
> so if you're going to hold a standard, why is it on active promotion and not active enablement?
Because we don't believe this can be enforced in any fair way.
See the current debate about fedilab. There's no simple right and wrong in this discussion.

F-Droid (fdroidorg@mastodon.technology)'s status on Sunday, 14-Jul-2019 09:03:14 EDT F-Droid @Shrigglepuss That is exactly what we are doing. We won't host apps promoting hate speech or hateful content on f-droid.org. People who don't agree with those rules should host their own repo.

Do you have anything interesting to report that happened roughly in the last week in the F-Droid/Android FOSS ecosystem? Any noteworthy app updates?

Was auf zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen vielleicht nicht immer zutrifft, ist bei Computern aber auf jeden Fall richtig. Wie #Reproduzierbarkeit genau dieses Thema bei #FDroid verbessert, kannst Du hier lesen: https://nico.dorfbrunnen.eu/de/posts/2019/reproduzierbarkeit-fdroid/ -

cj πΊπΈπ¨π (cj@mastodon.technology)'s status on Tuesday, 09-Jul-2019 14:57:26 EDT cj πΊπΈπ¨π Because that is the core of Software Freedom/Liberty: the right for a Person to take a software that expresses a [political] view they disagree with, obtain a copy of that software with equal capability as the distributor, modify that [political] view to be more amenable, and then redistribute it without any additional licensing burdens.
It's never about what specific views or capabilities are in the software itself. Heck, you could fork and purposefully add bugs and it is still no less Freedom respecting.

cj πΊπΈπ¨π (cj@mastodon.technology)'s status on Tuesday, 09-Jul-2019 14:53:59 EDT cj πΊπΈπ¨π I find it incredibly surprising that many #FOSS or #FLOSS folk take the 0th pillar's "freedom of use" to mistakenly mean "freedom of usage by creating a software feature" instead of the true intended meaning: "freedom of usage under the license conditions".
Because that's what RMS has always been about: the software licenses being symmetrical in power between the distributor of software and receiver of software. It creates a level playing field in terms of what "politics" are contained in the software.
