Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:

* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this

The @torproject@mastodon.social VPN app for Android is now available in @fdroidorg@floss.social and therefore guaranteed to be fully Free Software, rebuilt from source.

I made a (ugly) page showing the most downloaded apps from @fdroidorg@floss.social servers: https://grote.gitlab.io/fdroid-metrics-distilled/
It exposes some JSON endpoints as well.
