non-broken link: https://gitlab.com/gdroid/gdroidclient/merge_requests/29#note_126967265 :( | 12:23:56 |
| Mathijs | also: if it's so bad, why would you fork it rather than help maintain? | 12:25:17 |
| Mathijs | I guess that is what bothers me the most: complain about f-droid being unmaintained, but then not helping out, but rather start your own thing to compete with f-droid | 12:30:59 |
| Mathijs | I'm not about to simply trust this guy with my app-store, but I would happily run f-droid with MR's from him in there | 12:31:37 |
 izzy_ | mathijs: talking about G*? | 12:33:39 |
| Mathijs | yeah | 12:38:52 |
| izzy_ | strange guy. Despite better knowledge he still claims we "punish developers". While I first greeted an alternative client, his behavior made me ignore him. Trust gone. | 12:53:16 |
| Mathijs | agreed, though I wouldn't have used his app to replace f-droid in the first place, as it's a project by a single guy that's new and thus not vetted in any way | 12:57:16 |
| Mathijs | it would have been so much better if he just contributed to f-droid itself | 12:57:31 |

I guess that is what bothers me the most: complain about f-droid being unmaintained, but then not helping out, but rather start your own thing to compete with f-droid It's far easier to work on something you control instead of contributing upstream. No need to discuss anything for 200 hours, etc. I can totally understand that. And it's a healthy ecosystem when there are more clients. And I tried g-droid again yesterday, it works very well. | 12:59:58 |
| Marcus (old) | But his attitude, especially in the comment I linked is really, really bad. | 13:00:14 |
| Mathijs | Having an alternative to f-droid is not the issue | 13:00:35 |
| Marcus (old) | like not reporting alleged security vulnerabilities out of spite? WTF? | 13:00:38 |
| Mathijs | the amount of shade he throws on f-droid is what rubs me the wrong way | 13:00:53 |
| Mathijs | I wouldn't use his version either way | 13:01:05 |
| Mathijs | but if you're so negative about f-droid, and publically so to talk up your own product | 13:01:32 |
| Mathijs | really, that's just wrong | 13:01:36 |
| Mathijs | and the 200 hours discussion is part of the reason I'd choose f-droid over gdroid in the first place | 13:02:09 |
| izzy_ | > the amount of shade he throws on f-droid is what rubs me the wrong way | 13:02:13 |
| izzy_ | Exactly that. | 13:02:16 |
| Mathijs | while (very) annoying, it means that more than 1 person actually looked at the code | 13:02:28 |
| Mathijs | which means I can actaully trust the code to perform an important job on my phone | 13:02:43 |
| izzy_ | Which with his attitude I'm not sure I do. | 13:03:06 |
| Mathijs | (well, trust it more anyway :)) | 13:03:08 |
