 michael | oh, sorry, I meant boost of course | 16:07:43 |
 Sylvia | I am having second thoughts again because drip on F-Droid is outdated and that feels weird :/ Although old versions can be perfectly serviceable | 16:46:16 |
| michael | I don't know either | 16:47:39 |
| michael | we're in a strange spot | 16:47:56 |
| michael | * we're in a strange spot | 16:48:11 |
| michael | my wife doesn't update apps for years | 16:48:34 |
| michael | because she hates ui changes | 16:48:45 |
| michael | I get that that's not representative | 16:49:02 |
| michael | but I suspect only pedantic nerds care about updates as long as everything just works | 16:49:34 |
| Sylvia | I mean we do kinda invite "why is it outdated" questions which we can only reply to with "build system issues" which is a bit... dumb | 16:51:10 |
| michael | But I suspect a lot of FDroid users to be pedantic about updates | 16:51:13 |
| michael | yeah :/ | 16:51:36 |

From one day to the next, 'innocent data' shared with advertisers may suddenly become a tool of prosecution. By reviewing apps for trackers and only allowing Open Source (and thus auditable) apps, F-Droid helps ensure people stay in control over their data, no matter who they are or where they live.

| Sylvia | I do still like this one actually | 16:51:53 |
| michael | Yes, good message, well written, me too :) | 16:52:24 |
| michael | we could also do both within a week | 16:52:52 |
| michael | I've boosted you now 😅😁 | 16:56:55 |
| Sylvia | So looking through drip issues more and... | 17:05:32 |
| Sylvia | Of course linsui is on the case with a reply less than 24 hours ago | 17:05:43 |
| Sylvia | Man, the F-Droid data team is amazing | 17:05:52 |
| michael | oh damn, not sure if I understood that correctly, but looks like somebody uses our name to push hate-speach apps: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/f-droid-in-the-news-odysee-launches-f-droid-app-and-android-apk/18641 | 23:41:03 |
| michael | I think we should platform/spread this in any way. But we should think about establishing counter measures :s | 23:42:26 |
| michael | a registered trademark could help us defend our name, us too bad we don't have one | 23:43:21 |
| michael | * a registered trademark could protect, us too bad we don't have one | 23:43:38 |
| michael | * a registered trademark could help us defend our name, us too bad we don't have one | 23:44:07 |

| Sylvia | Yeah not super happy with Odysee getting merged but it's not quite Gab level it seems given they're on Google Play too. It is quite difficult when they're not as obvious. But yeah definitely an app we shouldn't promote in news or whatever | 04:08:29 |
| Sylvia | I think in this case we may be best off just not thinking much about it for now, we'll probably read it in the news when Google kicks them out and then can look at if it breaches what Hans blogged once about hate speech apps and not tolerating it. But it is hard to do something while Google is still hosting them too | 04:11:58 |
| Sylvia | For counter-measures, I am not sure what would make sense. It is very hard to make a real point against platforms like these that are generally staying within the rules but purposefully push the narrative more towards hate speech while keeping it under "realistic concerns" :/ | 05:50:37 |
