F-Droid

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) we talk about many apps like Arx Libertatis, Blocker, Briar + Mailbox, Element(X) and other Matrix clients & more.

We've deployed a feature to the scanner, which was not tested enough and caused some build errors and broken packages. Sorry for that!

Also (not covered in TWIF): as some of you already have noticed, we're delayed in app publishing. This is caused by a full disk on a VM. This was fixed and the cycle continues.

@yolo As already said, F-Droid being a "DIY app store" allows everyone the freedom to make their own, as they see fit, and to include the apps that they want, funded as they need. We're not planning any changes to the F-Droid repo, which will remain fully FLOSS.

- we talk about donations and the NGI program
