People's unwillingnes to refuse to comply.
Freedom starts by not complying with tyrannical democracies.
Why use Big Tech "drives" at all? Big Tech can't be trusted with your data.
Especially now with the Palantirs expanding their data collection and their Minority Report like AI analysis of sovereign individuals.

I refuse to part their game. Definitely not doing anything that requires biometrics.
Best to start using a phones not continued by Google.
How do you grab F-Droid?
I grab mine at F-Droid.org, which is not different than grabbing Zapstore at Zapstore.dev
The developer post a release event whenever they have a new release of an app. Anyone can post a release event, so that's where the private key signature comes in so people can verify the release is from a legit trusted source.
You don't host over Nostr, you publish and sign release events. The apps are hosted wherever. So F-Droid could sign and publish release events for your rebuilt and verified APKs.
As far as HTTP vs NOSTR, I don't know. Nostr runs over WSS and/or TOR, and is similar to RSS with enhanced features.
Most of the apps I used to get from F-Droid I get through Zapstore now, which basically grabs them directly from the developer's project server, such as GitHub or GitLab.
Zapstore publishes Nostr release events for apps where the developers don't release their own app over the Nostr protocol, so most apps that are available on F-Droid are available thanks to that.
F-Droid could do the same.
Zapstore is only a client that grabs Nostr events from Nostr relays and displays the "app release" events.
Any Nostr client could display those events.
You grab Zapstore from their website or GitHub, just like you do F-Droid.
When you release an app using the Nostr protocol, clients like Zapstore grab the app directly from GitHub, GitLab or whatever platform the developer uses, bypassing the need for repositories.
Lineage runs on a zillionolder older inexpensive phones.
If they can't figure somethjng out, then that's on them. I honestly don't care about zombie sheeple like them. They deserve what they get.
But Zapstore makes it so you don't have to use Google's ecosystem and lets you use a branched, DeGoogled version of the Android Open Source Project, which many of us privacy advocates are already doing.
That's why you run a different fork of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which most of us privacy advocates as well, such as GrapheneOS or LineageOS.
The Nostr based app store called "Zapstore" has already solved this problem. Zapstore empowers developers to sign and release apps over the Nostr protocol without needing to get permission from any app store or from any governnent or any other entity.
The Zapstore already has most of the useful F-Droid apps, and anyone can release more apps.

I do share share F-Droid, but as of about 6 montgscago, my list of DeGoogled apps now has Zapstore linked as the first option, with F-Droid 2nd.
Releasing apps over the Nostr protocol is a better way of doing releases.
- No need to get permission from anyone
- You can donate money directly to developers using a Bitcoin Lightnjbg wallet.
- You can verify apps come directly from the app developer, and can choose apps Nostr friends/follows, aka Web of Trust (WOT).
Why ask Goggle's permission?
I've started using the Zapstore app store being built by the Nostr community. Zapstore is an app built around empowering developers to release and sign apps over the Nostr protocol without having to get permission from any app store or any other entity such as a tyrannical government
F-Droid could release apps over the Nostr protocol, and bypass Google completely

F-Droid could release apps over the Nostr protocol, using their own Nostr ckient, and bypass Google completely.
Zapstore just released ver 1.0
