This is a bummer. I actually used Aurora to download my paid apps. I would buy on the website and login on my degoogled phone. Now degoogled users will have to just pirate apps they want. So much for supporting small developers.
@arthur @Pantherina what’s wrong with just using F-Droid?
You need other apps.
- banking
- public transport
- weird stuff
- vinted
- spotify
- some random good but not FOSS apps
- paid apps (which should actually not be a problem)
@Pantherina no, no you don’t. I will say I have been flaburgassted by the number of people on our free and federated network that advertise their love for the freedom denying survailance capitalist “service” of spotify. #FunkWhale4ever
F-Droid is where I get 90% of the applications I need however banking and public transit apps are almost never open source. Once in a while I will buy a game or app that is developed does something that I can’t get from the community.
Always annoy your local infrastructure IT devs! It cant be that all these apps dont even have an FDroid repo. They can ship any binary they want its just if they actually want it!
