@aidapsibr @SylvieLorxu cost and difficulty is probably different in my country. and I'm severely ill, none of this is an option for me. but yeah, I hope some people can protect themselves through crowdfunding workarounds like this. though no one should have to.
@obfusk @SylvieLorxu others mentioned publishing to fdroid if that's a possibility, even if it's limited reach. I'm sorry about your circumstances and yeah unfortunately I only know us routes.
