For those attending #FOSDEM and interested in the topic: make sure to attend Marc's talk "Fear and Loathing in the App Stores: when FLOSS principles collide with the Gatekeeper interests" (https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/TYZH97-fear-loathing-app-stores/), which covers this topic. We will be there, and also be ready to answer questions.
Of course we can also be found at our stand in UD2-02 😉
Big thanks to @marcprux from the @fdroidorg board for picking this up!
Google is now marking EVERY SINGLE APK at our repository as "Malware site issue". Congrats, "Safe" browsing.
Of course there is not a single malware there, everything is scanned multiple times. And I bet they excluded *.google.com from their scan or the entire PlayStore would be red by now, too…
Calling out to all of you: Please use https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_error/ to report the links as "safe"!
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/com.apkupdater_52.apk is the one console reports.

2025 had ups and downs, but I loved my 2025 at #IzzyOnDroid.
Our team has grown with several new members and we launched https://izzyondroid.org/, our new web home!
We even got our first grant ever (thanks, @nlnet!), allowing us to bring download statistics to IzzyOnDroid and integrate it directly into #NeoStore (and soon #Droidify), improve the #ReproducibleBuild system and more.
I'm grateful to the team for giving me a space where I feel able to make a difference ❤️
Here is to 2026! 🎉
I'll be at #FOSDEM this year together with @IzzyOnDroid as part of my involvement with #IzzyOnDroid.
However, I figured, if I go there, why not order some #Catima stickers. After all, Catima is an app available on IzzyOnDroid 😊 They just came in and they look nice :)
Make sure to ping me at FOSDEM or visit the IzzyOnDroid stand to get one!
