For 15 years, F-Droid has been the antidote to Google Play: no trackers, no ads, just open source apps. Now, Google wants to kill it.
Under the guise of "security", Google is forcing devs to register, pay, and surrender control. F-Droid can’t comply without betraying its principles. Thousands of apps could vanish overnight.
Fight back: demand sideloading rights, pressure regulators/Parliament, and defend one of the safe harbors for ethical tech.

I love how people always say that critics suck ass, but as soon as critics come out saying something is bad everybody gets all worried that it's going to be bad. Do you guys trust critics or not?
From what I've seen, the same people who didn't like Tron Legacy also don't like Ares, and people are getting their panties in a bunch about it. I'm sure general audiences who go to see it will probably end up being lukewarm on it too since that's what happened to the other two films. Tron is just one of those movies.
Community sentiment, from what I can tell, seems to be positive. I'm still thinking the movie will just be okay, but it is good to see from other actual Tron fans that they enjoyed the movie.
Today is day 8 of #lolitober and the theme is "pacifier".
Look! Little, baby Naomi! She wants her pacifier! Awwwwwwww
Side note: TIL I'm old. Since this baby Naomi pic would be a decade or so old, I thought about it being a polaroid or film photo... but Naomi is still young enough, that her parents would have used a phone... 🫠
