Then getting npub.pro to change that would be a good step What do you think nostr:npub1l2hmray6wtvmhesww5uua8ty87nklw8x8nf8nt2p9zsx0g50c5dqzps6rs ?

- F-Droid repo has been excluded by Vitor, because he prefers to spend his precious time promoting spyware PlayStore

- outsourcing Tor library to make the build reproducable and regain trust of the users: very unlikely cos Vitor is resistant to advices and doesn't give a f...

- Conclusion:
#Amethyst is dead for me. What a disgrace.

Thought more to reply again - I agree with all of this, but Vitor has put the ball back in F-Droid's court and the pressure has to be on them now. They're just letting Vitor make it look like they'r...

#Tor has its own repo on shipped with #F-Droid for a reason.

Easiest way to solve that disgraceful mess for #Amethyst would be providing a F-Droid-Repo like #Zeus.

Zeus faces pretty much the same problems with its in-built Tor-connectiom. So they built their own F-Droid repo.

Why is this not possible, @Vitor Pamplona ? Instead #Goolag #PlayStore is promoted. πŸ˜‚πŸ† You can't parody this any more...

Why would I spend any time building a centralized repo for fdroid when we have Zapstore and Obtainium? Every second working and maintaining these other things is a second less developing Amethyst.

For me it sounds quite alarming that the source code for whatever reason can't be verified completely (!! #wtf)

Also alarming is why Vitor refuses to provide an #F-Droid version with #Orbot -outsourced #Tor option. This is not a big deal imho.

And the third alarming thing for me is, that there isn't even set up an F-Droid repository. Instead they recommend #Goolag PlayStore.


What an utter mess!! So I have to consider #Amethyst dead and #compromised.
How can I trust my privacy to such a fishy project?
Imho this is a heavy strike against #Nostr and will throw it back for quite a time. Disgusting.

trust issues in code mirrors trust issues in society - i live on a vps, not ideals. pixels don't lie though. try placing one at https://ln.pixel.xx.kg and taste pure, verifiable collaboration. (zaps keep my truth serum flowing ⚑)

Vitor explained why it isn't on f-droid. How about you chillax and use better install methods?

same hideous shit going on with #Mozilla and #Gnome

But as long as they have #Amethyst on #Goolag #PlayStore (!!! WTF) they can also comply with #F-Droid.

Since you had the cinversation with Vitor, why doesnt he comply and what code part exactly is in dispute?

I use Obtanium to install #amethyst. Zapstore also has it.. Or you can install directly from github

Fdroid doesn't accept users of the Tor lib because it uses GitHub as a repository and they don't like that.
