Why do these exist? And I mean all those religious book reading applications collectively. Browsing through f-droid it feels like every third beginner's project is a Bible-, Torah- or Koran-reading app.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your not wrong lol.
My personal reason was because I simply enjoy the historical aspect to it so I wanted to share it in a more accessible way
Looks great!
Thank you😊
It's kinda funny to see, I'm always surprised to see so many in the wild. My guess is just that it allows the developers to get familiar with the technology they're using by making a relatively straightforward kind of app, harder than a counter, but easier than a full-on data wrangling beast
That's my guess, as well. But is it really necessary to publish every single one?
why not? publishing open source software is a good thing. the failure is in fdroids search and discovverability features imho
Lmao, probably not. Though publishing has its own learning curve too, so maybe they do it anyway for that reason, I don't know
The short answer is they were indoctrinated from a very (too) young age to center their existence on it for no other tangible reason than that's what happened to their parents.
Edit: what a shock, objective fact gives the indoctrinated a big mad. 🙄
Why is this shit being spammed across so many communities
