I disagree, there are many resources for making and distributing android reproducible builds, including third-party F-Droid repos like IzzyOnDroid mentioned in my previous link.

And to my knowledge there is no technical requirement that F-Droid actually needs to build OR sign packages on behalf of anyone... I haven't seen any actual official rationale listed for it, but I assume one of the main reasons is convenience for the developers so they don't have to provide their own builds and deal with signing/losing keys.

I understand that the risk of problems can be somewhat mitigated in F-Droid by using reproducible builds, but I don't consider that sufficient for the most privacy-conscious users because:

• reproducible builds are not required by F-Droid

• it is not made clear to the user that a particular package even supports reproducible builds

• the verification of reproducible builds is not made plainly visible somewhere publicly if at all

• a user can still easily be misled by a one-off rogue package that is NOT reproducible, due to the previous point

• independent verifications of those builds reliably made by others are not common

curious what people are asking and where you are when this happens? I would be shocked if I was just walking around my local grocery store and someone has any clue what Haiku is.

Have you seen people?

Indeed... I was not trying to imply that it was.

It doesn't make financial sense to spend money on supporting an entire new platform that's used by <3% of the population.

ask the AI how to make the product better, duh

devil's advocate would be calling this a hollow publicity stunt

don't tell the doc

The only time I have ever heard of anyone complaining about the name were literally the Glimpse devs themselves.

Of course, for every story/video/etc. of someone smoothly transitioning, there's a thousand more that have basic non-starters because of certain applications/hardware, too many bugs or simply gave up in frustration.

I had a similar situation, couldn't walk anymore, chiro saved me big time.

But any time I bring it up I get downvoted to oblivion and everyone grasps at straws to try to explain it away.

actually yes.

huzzah!
