Due to "anti-features" introduced unilaterally by some people from FDroid community, it is not possible to find Organic Maps using the search in FDroid client without tinkering with its settings first: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-

By default, it is possible to find apps with ads, with tracking, with non-free network services, dependencies and assets, apps without source code and with known vulnerabilities. But it is not possible to find Organic Maps, an open-source app without ads and tracking.

cos

@organicmaps @fdroidorg "This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service" anti-feature really makes no sense. Even having some defaults to services that are not completely free triggers this, even if the app can be fully used with completely free services.

"This app depends entirely on a non-free network service " would be acceptable criteria. But still hiding apps with anti-features by default just sucks.

@cos @organicmaps @fdroidorg
Non-free service?
Do we have free electricity?
Do sys admins need no food?
How do you know right now that Signal's server code is what they say it is?

Createria about server, i.e. not "my box", have to be different from local thingy.
In cases of Signal server, end to end encryption ensures that you don't need to care about posed question.
