This is a sad day.

Catfriend was actively openly looking for a replacement for ages and couldn’t find one. No one was stepping up. When she eventually found someone, suddenly everyone wants to have a say. What was she supposed to do, put her life and mental health on hold until the community that wasn’t helping maintain the project, vetted the replacement she found? I don’t know how people can’t see that their expectations are out of whack here. As I said before, if any one of the people who are whipping up the storm had stepped up to takeover, there’d somewhat of point to this, but that’s not happening. It’s just pitchforks for the sake of pitchforks.

Let’s look at the timeline.

Developer was maintaining app, didn’t wanna do it any more and suggested everyone use the most popular fork.

The maintainer of said most popular fork, after a while, didn’t wanna do it any more and after asking for maintainers for a while, found one on her own and handed him the project.

Entitled AF users, who aren’t looking to maintain the project, don’t like the cut of the new maintainers jib and thus kick up a fuss.

At this point, there’s zero new forks available on F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid, proving it’s not about anything other than kicking up a fuss.

Anyone that is so outraged, put your time and effort where your mouth is. Stop with the brigading and actually maintain and publish a fork.

Personally, I trust nutomic and catfiend and if I trusted catfiend to maintain the app, I will trust their vouch for the new maintainer too.

Projects change hands all the time. If someone wants to use a fork, do that. The entitlement here is fucking wild.

Summit does. Swipe right to go back up.

Summit these days.

Yeah, it’s dead.

Thank you

If the EU fumbles this…

Would be cool if they provided some boiler plate text

Each to their own. For now you can re-enable the old menu via the secret settings.

It’s one of those things where if you don’t try, there’s no chance. I’ve had a few feature requests and bug fixes implemented.

Probably worth requesting

Exactly that.

Just went to give this a go, but I’m not in the US, so it won’t even show the option. 🤬

They’re not even in Europe, kicking them out shouldn’t be controversial normally, let alone when they’ve been committing genocide and are breaking ceasefires.

The article actually said Chrome is bad because dark mode doesn’t darken webpages. Huh?! Not sure why that required an article.
