Thanks @E3V3A! I am seriously thinking about not even adding an "installer" there as proposed in #202. How do you feel about completely ditching Google and staying with what we have already?

E3V3A commented 9 years ago

Sure. Just wanted to add this info somewhere, to inform people that their gov's and google app providers are even considering working with these bastards.

SecUpwN commented 9 years ago

It's a real shame. Android is such a wonderful operating system but what Google does with it and who they support is truly evil. Considering the fact that they've also bought Boston Dynamics and are now building military-grade self-thinking robots, noone can tell me that they won't be part of a future war.

I'd like to get the opinion of @He3556 and @DimaKoz for closing #202 for good since I feel stronger than ever that I never want our app to appear at GooglePlay (not even as a renamed or re-branded app)! We're fighting for privacy and unchained software - having our app (or even just an installer) on GooglePlay would certainly enlarge our user base, but fuck it, we've gotta stand up for freedom here!

yes, and please close other issues that are related to this discussion.
