I’ve always felt guilty by taking for granted the rare breed of virtuous humans that provide free excellent software without relying on advertising. Let’s change that and pay, how much would I “lose” anyway?

€0.00—Aurora Store. Breaks rule 4. €0.00—F-Droid. Breaks rule 4.
Rule 4: No association with or reference to crypto“currencies” because these are greed incentivizing pyramid schemes.
They… They are app stores.
Aurora is just a reskin of fdroid, they use the same reposWhat’s the association, the fact that they let you install apps related to it? Bruh.Aurora isn’t a reskinned F-Droid and neiter does it use the same repositories. It’s a client for the Google Play Store, but one that doesn’t require an account or Google Services. And that’s not what F-Droid is.
To clarify , there is an aurora client for f-droid. https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/auroradroid
The OP mentions aurora store by name so they are probably not talking about the f-droid wrapper. Also if f-droid breaks rule 4 AuroraDroid almost certainly does.
It’s dead
Yeah, my bad, I confused it with aurora droid. In any case, I still don’t get why they break rule 4.
Aurora accepts cryptocurrencies as donations. And F-Droid also did but apparently its on hold.
I only just became aware of this. The essay has been corrected, and donated to F-Droid.
