Unlike Google, F-Droid does not force developers to publicize their name or address information.

We understand that people have many reasons to develop under another name than their legal one and to keep their personal information private. And that what matters is the trust between user and developer, not private details of their lives.

For more information on how we designed F-Droid to protect your privacy, see https://f-droid.org/2022/02/28/no-user-accounts-by-design.html.

I was just about to post about "disability" having such a broad spectrum of classifications and handouts that somebody can use a labyrinth of legalese to get on the government cheese

@xianc78 @KryptoBlok What they really fear is something much simpler: that ordinary people will stop trusting them en masse. That’s the true source of their power. No need for alien spacecraft or advanced technologies. Just plain old faith in the legitimacy of institutions and a lack of curiosity about the character of those who control them.

@xianc78 Of course, if the gov has a monopoly on this tech, then literally God help us all...

@xianc78 This reminds me of an interesting leak-type thing about ufo tech I found a while ago. In a nutshell, it claimed that the reason the us gov is hiding the tech is because it would basically make anarcho-frontierism a reality - but at the expense of encryption, which would be rendered useless. The average schmoe could just weld together their own ufo and become Han Solo, never paying taxes again. (There was also something about immensely-powerful WMDs being made possible....)

...I am only half-joking. I have no reason to suspect that Bill Gates has anything to do with the Lone Star tick besides his habit of introducing bugs to new places and trying to get other people to stop eating meat.
