    Fdroid better stay as FOSS and privacy focused. I don’t want to see Spotify or some subscription brand bullshit up there.

        I’m aware of what foss means, it’s why I out an “and” after it given fdroid has a separate focus on privacy.

        Subscribe to what you like I’d would prefer if fdroid remained as a pillar of security and openness and didn’t welcome in a load corpo cunts.

          IIRC, no one stops anyone from making their own repository that people can add to their F-Droid client. But I agree that the native F-Droid repo should stay (more or less) as it is.

        Artificial media scarcity subscription models are much harder to implement with licenses like AGPL, but personal data crawlers still pose tremendous risks, especially in the future of technology.

      I don’t believe the F-Droid will ever be implementing any kind of payment processing through the app store.
