Major tech companies are producing far more carbon emissions than they suggest in their sustainability reports.
They’re lobbying hard to rewrite the rules on how emissions are calculated to show net zero on paper, but not in practice.

Dear @IzzyOnDroid , I have seen this many times since I started using #fdroid (..and your #repo).
At the screenshot you see an app last updated 7 years ago and a note stating that IT SEEMS to be no longer maintained. For me, its abandoned and unless you have metrics that show active users, why bother keeping the app at all?

High-end racing bikes are now vulnerable to hacking
A team of researchers from the University of California San Diego and Northeastern University found security vulnerabilities in Shimano wireless gear-shift systems.Lauren Feiner (The Verge)
You'd think so, and I sure did, but the wireless shifting systems have some pretty compelling arguments in their favor, including "you can shift gears under the heaviest loads you can put on it" and "you can _stand on the derailleur_ and it will take that abuse without misaligning or even flinching."
It's spendy, but ... man I've snapped chains and torn derailleurs _clean off_ bikes before and that looks... really good.

Every feature that gets added via JavaScript is more complex, more expensive, and harder to improve. That means that when things go wrong, they're treble costly to fix. This is because JavaScript is the _"f-it! we'll do it live!"_ of web tech; JS disables or routes around all the ways the browsers try to help.
Let browsers help!

Remember when Montréal was a cosmopolitan city? Yeah, not anymore.
Remember when anglophones believed they had nothing to fear from the CAQ? Yeah, not anymore.
There is something fundamentally wrong with a city that will erase Bonjour-Hi, Bonjour-Woof, Bonjour-Meow, etc. before it deals with OTHER graffiti... OR OTHER THINGS LIKE TRANSPORTATION, TRAFFIC, HOUSING, ETC.

in reply to What's a fun name? • • •Because we cannot test all those 100s of apps on 1000s of devices. "Old" does not mean "useless" (if you disagree, I might take that personal 🙈 ). An app not having seen updates for 7 years does not mean it's broken or nobody needs it.
So we don't remove apps solely based on those criteria, but depend on those using the repo: to tell us an app no longer works and why (e.g. the service behind it no longer available, whatever).
So: Is Jarvis broken? On what device/Android version?
What's a fun name?
in reply to IzzyOnDroid ✅ • • •I don't know about the app specifically, I didn't intend on using it. I was just curious as to why its still available and your answer solved that.
Thank you for your time!

in reply to What's a fun name? • • •If you happen to find a "broken" app, please report it. Especially those ones where it's clear they cannot work (like the example I gave: bound to a single service that shut down; no guesswork there if it might still be useful for some devices). Either reach out here, or report in our issue tracker. We'll then check and, if justified, act accordingly.
Thanks a lot – also for asking!
