#FDroid website is not redirecting a link correctly, hence the big blue button that new or returning users use to get F-Droid Client is not working.
The link now contains the page locale and that trips it. We are working on a fix, in the mean time, feel free to remove the `/en` (or your own locale) from the link and retry.
#FDroid has a board, old news, time goes by, we get busy with the apps, the client, the repo, the server, the imminent danger, the #FOSDEM, and terms come to an end.
We seek an enthusiastic, collaborative and diverse board that can support our community as effectively as possible.
Nominations are now open to select up to four volunteer directors to serve for two years each.
How? When? Where? Who? Read: https://f-droid.org/2026/02/26/board-of-directors-nominations.html
In #FLOSS you can make a difference! #keepandroidopen

»Wenn du nicht alles änderst, änderst du nichts« – genau dieser Ton schreckt ab. Warum digitale Selbstbestimmung Brücken braucht: Ziele klären, Zwänge verstehen, Schritte planen. Neuer Beitrag: »Das Toleranzproblem der Tech-Szene«. 👇

@protonprivacy #ProtonMail on #FDroid with #UnifiedPush when? 👋
Not sure where #Google asked for feedback about their developer verification program, but they surely didn't talk with #FLOSS devs, civil society, privacy organisations or their #Android users
#FDroid did since September, and interacted with folks in the Fediverse, forum, email and in person
They all voiced one opinion: "developer verification must be stopped"
@marcprux has written an open letter, signed by likeminded organisations who want to #keepandroidopen
