u can not deny work they have done on projects like F-Droid

Torsten was contracting for F-Droid (and SeedVault and Briar and Guardian Project) long before CalyxOS existed.

This is part of Calyx’s repeated attempts to make claim on things they did not make.

@bitosi

They helped create the worst OSS store.

It is objectively the best FOSS store and secondly F-Droid was around for nearly a decade before CalyxOS existed.

wost OSS store.

This is a great way to politely split off the conversation in the original thread, keeping that thread on-topic, while giving you the freedom to have a conversation about a new idea. This will create a link between the two topics that people who are in…

Decided by your subjective opinion?

Would recommend everyone to read this article:

F-Droid Security Issues

It was recently updated, so not many people had read it after the update.

F-Droid is objectively not a good source for your applications. All of your FOSS apps can be obtained using Accrescent, Obtainium, Aurora Store, or even the sandboxed Google Play Store.
