For people wanting to help updating/unblocking/adding apps, have a look at our issue tracker: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata and request for packaging tracker: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/issues
You'll find docs here: https://f-droid.org/en/docs/ and drop by on #fdroid on freenode if you need help.
If you missed it yesterday: @nicoalt has written a proposal for integrating #fdroid packages with #mastodon/#activitypub! The best thing about this proposal? It could in the future power comments and popularity of apps in F-Droid. 😍

Just finished integrating @exodus into my app listings at https://android.izzysoft.de/ – so expect more accurate library reportings. Not complete, though, as not all apps are scanned by Exodus or Appbrain (my other source) yet. Still: shocking findings! Trackers everywhere …
I wrote down an idea for integrating #FDroid repos with the #fediverse: fdroidpub. Please comment on it!

"The year is 2031, and I'm going to see Avengers 7... my location is displayed on the Goober Dashboard, even though I opted out of Google AlwaysTrack™! There's a complete disconnect between what the user interface is telling me and what actually happens" https://boingboing.net/2018/08/14/goober.html

New index update! #Öffi has finally been published!
#Briar, the other #ReproducibleBuild that was stuck, also got published at last, but went straight to the archive as we can only build an older version at the moment.
Hi everyone! We've already got 46 updated apps that _might_ be in the next #TWIF.

What is _your_ favourite new feature or new app? And why? What annoying bug finally got squashed? Let us know before Thursday, and we'll feature it in the next edition.
"Sean O’Brien, a @YalePrivacyLab researcher with whom the AP shared its findings, said it is 'disingenuous' for Google to continuously record these locations even when users disable Location History. 'To me, it’s something people should know,' he said." #privacy https://apnews.com/f60bc112665b458cb6473d7ee9492932

@TheCzar @fdroidorg on the bright side Daniel Micay (the main developer of copperhead os) says he's going to continue the project under a new name: https://www.reddit.com/r/CopperheadOS/comments/8u8co8/the_project_will_be_continuing_with_a_new_name/
I'm not sure if he'll support the nexus 5X though...
