| proletarius101 | You know ppl feel guilty to bypass the GFW... Wired but true | 16:12:42 |
| @rdfg77:kde.org | F-Droid has not been blocked for now, nor other mirrors. | 16:13:04 |

You know ppl feel guilty to bypass the GFW... Wired but true Since even GitHub is blocked, I don't know what a Chinese programed can do except bypass it. | 16:14:13 |

Since even GitHub is blocked, I don't know what a Chinese programer can do except bypass it. Already? 😂 Hopefully the public discourse among the GFW could change. No more "it protect us" or "the crowds are prone to be manipulated by foreign forces" | 16:15:51 |

| proletarius101 | But as more cases to punish ppl who bypasses the GFW, I worry whether the num of ppl accessing the outside world will increase or decrease | 16:17:53 |

 @festplattenschnitzel:matrix.org | I finished the JSON Schema for metadata YAML files yesterday. Hopefully this will make editing those more convenient … For more info see d#2353 :) | 17:18:57 |

 izzy | Uh-oh… Can someone please grab a copy of com.pavelsof.wormhole_721201.apk, unzip it, go to the "assets" folder, rename the "private.mp3" file to "private.tar.gz" and look inside? | 17:32:04 |
| izzy | That's actually a huge Python bundle with a load of *.so and more. What makes me wonder is: why it's called *.mp3? | 17:34:21 |
 cdesai | so that android lets it be in there without messing with it | 17:35:37 |
| cdesai | it's a common trick | 17:35:40 |
| izzy | Ah, good – so no reason to panic? | 17:37:24 |
| izzy | That's a relief then. Thanks cdesai! | 17:37:50 |
 jochensp | I think buildozer does that | 17:38:32 |
| izzy | I meanwhile had checked the sources and didn't see it there (which was already relieving me to a degree – as then it must have been produced by the build process. | 17:38:56 |
| izzy | Ah, good – thanks! | 17:39:12 |
| izzy | TIL: 1) not everything that looks like music sounds like music; 2) that's not necessarily a bad sign #D | 17:39:38 |
| izzy | linsui: I should have processed all those MRs I felt up to now. Acode needs a little clarification ("calling home"; I won't mention "rate on Playstore", "Follow on Instagram" and all that, which for an app on F-Droid feels quite strange). | 19:55:18 |

| izzy | Gladly! Some leftovers are still to be cleaned up. Eh, 2 more and we'd have been below 130… | 23:38:33 |
