I had alpha updates on and got this early. I then mistook this for malware.

Because it fucking sucks. This is the only time I had to wait for fucking F-Droid to load.

All because they are still sucking Google's dick and abiding by their orders of "meh use this 320GiB framew*rk so that this button can be this much rounded". They have been bitten quite a few times and they still haven't learned anything.

AND the alpha didn't have offline sharing. I figured they would add it later. They did not. It's gone. In some places, one rarely ever goes online. The app auto-updates once and the feature is gone. Reduced to atoms. Cannot share anything.

Also, they used corpo speak to justify it.

I repeat, this so called "collection of nerds" used corporate speak to justify something.

EDIT: I guess they added it, but the corpo speak was so bad that the blog post makes it read like it was not added.

My conclusion is fuck Android, fuck smartphones, that platform is dead, go back to Thinkpads. Older ones. And not E series. And not L series. These Thinkpads. Normalize sharing .c files via an Ethernet cable.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

    It's exactly as quick to start as it always has been on my device. You seem to be very angry over basically nothing. I'd rather have a flourishing ecosystem of mobile Linux apps, but until we have that, I'm very grateful for all the hard work of the f-droid team. You do know you can use one of many different clients if you don't like the main one?

    Then let's ship your device to the whole planet.

    Yes, but I am talking about F-Droid's F-Droid.

    All I can say is, https://droidify.app/

    Once I installed it, I never used the official Fdroid store on any device again.

    That's way worse. "Application stopped unexpectedly" my ass. Fym you are saying it's downloading but it isn't? (this is also a bug on F-Droid but at least I don't have to try multiple times per app)

    Cant tell if sarcasm/copypasta. If not, can't you just reinstall the latest suggested 1x.x version?

    What is offline sharing? Is that not the same as nearby?
