The f-droid.org website now **finally** displays antifeatures again.
As a bonus you can now search by anti features: https://search.f-droid.org/?q=NonFreeNet&lang=en
With that a happy new year to all! 🎉

@meldrian It will be a seamless update.

#davdroid is now called #DAVx5, read more about this here: https://www.davx5.com/faq/general/what-does-davx5-stand-for
You'll find it under the new name in #FDroid with the next update.

Find the slides for my talk about #fdroid and some of the best #FreeSoftware apps (imho) for #Android (or fork) now linked on its description page: https://pretalx.35c3oio.freifunk.space/35c3oio/talk/UFZYAS/

<3 to the Open Infrastructure Orbit for hosting the session!

I didn't watch many talks at #35c3 but one I attended and can highly recommend was by #FDroid core team member _hc about nearby and offline connectivity:

Always wanted to run your own F-Droid repo – but were afraid it's too complicated? No longer, as part 3 of my @fdroidorg series shows:
Your own F-Droid Repository with Repomaker

That's @cketti of K9, @ConnyDuck of Tusky and @theScrabi of Newpipe. The others don't seem to have a fediverse account(?)

As of yesterday #fdroid now incnludes #vlc media player in it's main repository again! 🎉

Happy Chanukka, happy 2nd advent – and here comes a little present: I've just put the first article of my F-Droid series online. "F-Droid: The privacy-friendly alternative to Google Play Store" can be found at https://android.izzysoft.de/articles/named/fdroid-intro-1
Die deutsche Fassung verzögert sich noch ein wenig. Wer es nicht abwarten kann, kauft sich die c't 25, der ich (nach Vereinbarung mit Heise) ein paar Wochen Vorsprung geben muss 😉

@61 Also with a Spanish translation: https://f-droid.org/es/2017/07/03/cuba.html

@z428 @ConnyEbersbach Im F-Droid-Forum gibt's dazu eine ausführliche Diskussion, in der unter anderem beraten wird, wie man Entwicklern die Möglichkeit gibt, Geld für ihre Software zu fordern und nicht gleichzeitig Menschen in schlechteren ökonomischen Lagen auszuschließen.

Siehe vor allem den letzten Paragraphen in diesem Post: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/paid-features-in-opensource-apps/4099/43

@xecuter Because it's hard to build it from source and we don't want to offer outdated versions in the main repo. See https://forum.f-droid.org/t/where-is-the-vlc-app/108 for more information.

@hirojin That's about to be fixed at this very moment: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/merge_requests/759

@ScriptFanix
No we don't publish stats (nor keep them internally -- we don't track you!)

#F-Droid is an open source ethical alternative to Google Play, and can be installed on most Android devices.
Unlike commercial app stores, apps on F-Droid are free, open source and privacy-friendly.

@Main_Tomato It now uses geckoview instead of webview. Building that is more complicated. Nobody has quite done the work yet afaik.
