Broken links aside (fix incoming), #FDroid raises the case against the #Google developer forced registration once again.

We'll skip the small talk, go read, and better yet, spread this wide and far: https://f-droid.org/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html so people are made aware, actions can be taken and #Android is kept truly open!

Celebrating 15 Years of F‑Droid!

September 29th marks the anniversary of the open‑source app repository we all love.

Why it matters: F‑Droid’s mission aligns well with CoMaps—both champion Free/Libre Open‑Source Software (FLOSS) and community‑driven innovation.

have been using Accrescent when possible for several months and it is such a great substitute to F-Droid, especially when it comes to projects that are released under F-Droid repository – which isn't private & secure

genuinely hoping more FOSS projects will be adding their apps to it

The intersection of the new #Google Developer Verification Policy and the #EU #DMA needs to be pondered.

Article 6.4? Yes, in need of an update, sooner rather than later.

#FDroid keeps showing the way forward: https://f-droid.org/2025/09/22/google-developer-verification-policy-and-the-dma.html
