proletarius101 | Regarding the paid app issue, although I think it's not an anti-feature, even google play tags in-app purchases | 20:06:15 |
proletarius101 | And "contains ads" | 20:06:42 |
proletarius101 | Not as a warning in a FOSS sense, but allows the users to have an expectation of the experience | 20:08:27 |

LjL | FYI, you (some of you, I don't know who's going to be responsible) need to decide what to do with the freenode channels #fdroid and #fdroid-dev now that freenode has been "taken over" and most of the staff (and probably many projects, so far I know about Ubuntu and Wikimedia) are moving over to Libera.chat | 23:18:17 |
LjL | Libera.chat doesn't have a Matrix bridge at the moment, so that would be the major stumbling block if you decided to move | 23:18:34 |
LjL | The way I am involved with this is that I am an operator on #fdroid (perhaps the sole remaining who's actually active? CiaranG is no longer there), but I am not really a full member of the F-Droid team, so I cannot decide what to do. _hc told me that here is where this discussion would be best had. | 23:19:20 |
LjL | Again, maybe the best course of action is to do nothing right now, until Libera and Matrix figure out a bridging agreement. But if you peek into #fdroid you will see I just had to remove spam (on the Matrix some) from someone feeling they had to "describe the situation". I expect more, and I don't trust the current freenode management. | 23:20:06 |
LjL | (and this is me on freenode) | 23:20:50 |
cdesai | the good thing here is that you're an admin on the matrix side on #fdroid, and Coffee shows up as an admin on both (but won't show up at all on IRC) | 23:23:26 |
cdesai | looking at the user list from irc, it might be an even split here between matrix and irc users. | 23:24:25 |
cdesai | #fdroid seems to be mostly matrix | 23:24:34 |
cdesai | I think the lazy consensus was to migrate to OFTC in the meeting earlier today. | 23:25:49 |
cdesai | LjL: I see you grabbed #fdroid on OFTC, but not #fdroid-dev | 23:26:38 |
LjL | cdesai, yes, i had not considered it to be honest, because i'm not usually even here, i'm not a developer | 23:26:57 |
cdesai | I grabbed -dev on oftc | 23:27:19 |
LjL | OFTC is another options that a few channels, I'm sure, have considered | 23:28:05 |
LjL | so I've tried to cover the bases | 23:28:09 |
LjL | but... I'll just say, I wouldn't rush to OFTC just because they have an existing bridge with Freenode while Libera doesn't | 23:28:25 |
LjL | they're working on things and i think it might be fair to give them a little time | 23:28:36 |
cdesai | There were other reasons I believe, OFTC is a known quantity, many of us here are involved with debian too and they've been there forever. | 23:29:07 |
LjL | okay, you make your decision, all the channels i'm holding in all the places will be made available on request | 23:30:01 |
LjL | i am on the Gitlab team if you want to verify i have been appointed as an op by... someone, but that's about it | 23:30:28 |
cdesai | thanks for your help! | 23:31:02 |
