I decided my first post on this server should be my @ente Privacy Pack!

Two things are missing:
1) I use @elementary but that's not an available option; I'll open a PR for it soon
2) my phone (Mudita Kompakt) uses a custom OS made specifically for the device

You can make your pack here https://privacypack.org/create

Is there any reason an AppImage couldn't use a similar method to Obtainium to download and install updates for itself (automatically or when promoted)? Maybe with an option to specify a different source of updates.

The administrativia of keeping AppImages up-to-date is one reason I almost never use them. Despite liking the idea better than FlatPak and Snaps.

> Please make the app available via F-Droid and other FOSS stores

I believe full source code for the app is available, so all that's needed is a volunteer to help the devs set up an #FDroid repo for releases. Once that's working the app can be installed and updated using F-Droid, and getting it into their main repo is much quicker and easier.

For now, you could use #Obtainium to install directly from the release files on the project's code forge. This is bit more experimental.

FYI, anytime I add, change or subtract #FOSS substitutes on this list, I'll update the date in parentheses at the very top of the thread.

So check back periodically if you're interested.
