If they can win this, I’ll go back to using Aptoide.
Can F-Droid get in on this too? Like, yes maybe Aptoide isn’t the best ally to have on a good day. But right now there’s a bigger enemy.
There is hope. The case of epic games vs apple can be used as a precedent for this one ( i hope )
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
The enemy of my enemy is potentially the lesser enemy of two enemies. Also potentially the greater enemy… the point is they’re still my enemy.
