F-Droid e il decreto di registrazione degli sviluppatori di Google: se dovesse entrare in vigore, questa sarebbe la fine del progetto F-Droid
A fronte di questa stragegia monopolistico, se sei uno sviluppatore o un utente che apprezza la libertà digitale, scrivi al tuo parlamentare, al tuo deputato o ad altri rappresentanti, firma petizioni in difesa del sideloading e contatta il team Digital Markets Act (DMA) della Commissione Europea

@informapirata @informatica It would not be the end of F-Droid, it would only require them to stop incorrectly using package names (application ids) not belonging to them. F-Droid doing that already causes issues and we've reported it as an issue many times for several years. Simply doing domain-based verification without ID verification similar to Let's Encrypt would have caused problems for them too unless developers authorized the usage explicitly.

@GrapheneOS I could understand your criticism of the approach used by @fdroidorg (who surely had valid reasons for doing so, such as ensuring both security and accountability for their users).
The problem, however, is more general and concerns the problem of "de facto standards" in the hands of monopolistic companies.
