Google's new Developer Registration Program is catastrophic for F-Droid and open source app distribution. In this interview, Marc Prud'hommeaux from the F-Droid Board of Directors explains what's happening, why it matters (even if you only use the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store), and what concrete actions you can take RIGHT NOW. We discuss why F-Droid calls this an "extinction event," the implications for open source development, and what you can do to fight back.📱 RESOURCES IN VIDEO:• https://keepandroidopen.org/• https://f-droid.org/Timestamps:0:00:00 INTRO00:01:45 PIVOTING TO OPEN SOURCE00:04:29 WHEN MARC JOINED THE BOARD00:05:27 APP STORE BREAKDOWN00:08:23 GOOGLE PLAY STORE VS.
