Yesterday, Pebble watch software was ~95% open source. Today, it’s 100% open source. You can download, compile and run all the software you need to use your Pebble. We just published the source code for the new Pebble mobile app!

      Apparently the packaging requirements for F-Droid are more challenging than just “must be open source” and aren’t for everybody.

      The “no Google Play services” alone are a non starter for many apps. My preferred messenger, Signal, is plenty open source and runs its own notification daemon, but cannot be found on F-Droid. I have to get it via Obtainium instead.

        Signal, the messenger that lags code sumps for a year so they can get a leg up with insider knowledge of their own cryptocurrency?

        You can get Molly on F-Droid. It’s a soft fork that iimplements UnifiedPush, among other things.
