I said if I Google "F-Droid" I should get to a webpage that contains an app that works properly and that comes with good repos preloaded. Similar to how Steam is installed on PCs.
Instead I get a crappy app with very outdated repos. That's not good enough.
People want a plug and play solution, not to have to research F-Droid client alternatives and then install third party repos which they don't know if they can trust.
F-Droid architecture is terrible (it could take them weeks to build an app, and since they build all apps updates are severely delayed) and their app is a buggy mess. In other words, F-Droid not being widely used is not an indication of people not wanting to use a third party store per se even if it only carries open source apps.
We all are aware of that. It has been widely publicised for decades by those who expected that, by making people aware, they would change their spending habits.
They didn't. Nobody cares. And that has to be the end of that argument.
This reads like something straight from The Onion.
What's even worse is that I guess those government services must pay royalties, so this means Canadians will be subsidising music they clearly don't like (otherwise it would be popular and this kind of law wouldn't be necessary)
