Is the ‘tech bro-ification’ of abortion here?

My, my. Look at all the open source, privacy focused period trackers in the Fdroid store.
- While this is obviously the solution, being smug and pointing at it as if it's obvious and women are stupid for not knowing about it doesn't help.
  If anything we need to figure out how to help women discover drip or whatever alternative we want to recommend. We need to figure out how to get it higher up on the Play Store's search results rather than it being impossible to discover at something like #40 on that list. We need to figure out how to introduce F-droid and related solutions in a way that is as close to frictionless as possible.
  Sadly, not everyone is willing to put in the amount of work we are and others aren't even aware of the issues.

  You pay...no way around that. Google has rigged the search in the store, you will never get a good search location unless you pay.
  
  Sorry if it seemed smug at all. The "My my" was more being happy that the Fdroid app repo is pulling it's weight and a valuable resource that fascists seem to over look.
- Tech bro is practically a slur and doesn’t refer to “dudes that just work in tech”
- Nah. Been working in tech for nearly 30 years, "tech bro" is a delineation. Keeps the fuckers from smearing the rest of us
- Why?
