This is a suggestion. An idea. How much is feasible, or if feasible at all is a different point altogether, under the sun.
Ehh. Webapps really blow. I want to use newpipe not invidious. If I was going to use a web app for YouTube Iâd just use their actual mobile site with an adblocker.
Again, these are just suggestion. At least someone is trying to give those.

Make a shizuku clone and add support for it in F-Droid. Seriously.
Does anyone here have contact with Google, either directly or through friends or acquaintances? I donât know if Google is even aware of our concerns. I have no idea how to go about it. I was also thinking of a bigger shitstorm. Maybe talk to Apple and if they incorporate it into their advertising message, something like âlook at what Google is doing, then you can come straight to us. We may not do it better, but we have bitten fruit as our logo.â
I donât know, itâs not very helpful, but Google has become so big through free development, and now theyâre so big that they no longer need or want us.
The whole web already did.
Have you read EC DMA compliance workshops | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository ? They were planning this since 2018âŚ
The big Player (Google and Apple) have the same dream. Complete control. Amazon allegedly closed the App Store because of the dma. I think they only play the role of the opposition but they are not so angry about the law. I wouldnât wondering if the took or take a great impact of this law. Now they donât really need free software to became bigger and bigger and earn money.

I doubt it, they were too small, serving mostly their (custom) devices. Devs would be on Play too, afaik.
