It's a four-year-old app store that's still beta with best I can tell 33 apps on it.
I'm kind of impressed you've managed to get the amount of donations you have.

I'll be honest, I used this store three months ago, and the most polite compliment I can provide is that it "technically works". It's extremely barebones in its current state. IE the bare minimum for a functional app store is the install button, and that does function. But that's pretty much all the thing it has, at least from a user point of view.
I mean, it's a shame that its future is in question, but you know... Spilled milk and all.
Hosts proprietary apps, no thank you, and does not allow for third party repositories, so if they are told to take down an app, there is no recourse.

$175,000 computer server package acquired by mayor flagged as suspicious due to an apparent 1,300% markup
A recently elected mayor has brought to light a costly computer systems deal, which was signed, sealed, and delivered by their predecessor. On her Facebook page, Mayor Sally A. Lopez shares photos and documents confirming that her predecessor acquired a “10 million System Server Package.” Assuming we are talking Philippine pesos, that’s equivalent to about USD $175,000. However, the 16 systems look bargain-basement – at best – being based on old Intel 11th Generation processors, with generic case and power choices. According to our calculations, someone appears to have enjoyed a 1,300% markup.

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst won't seek reelection next year, source says
Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst plans to announce that she will not run for reelection in 2026, a senior Republican official familiar with her decision told ABC News.
Ernst was a focus of major attention during the protracted discussion over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's confirmation. She ultimately cast a vote for him despite her record as a military sexual assault prevention advocate. Hegseth denied the sexual assault allegations and was never charged.

Gruppe greift 27-Jährigen in Bremen wegen seiner Homosexualität an - buten un binnen
Der Mann stand mit seinem Partner am frühen Samstagabend in der Obernstraße, als ihn eine Gruppe aus fünf jungen Männern beleidigte und attackierte. Die Täter konnten fliehen.
Falls sich jemand fragt, warum ich diese eigentlich regionale Nachricht hier teile:
Bremen ist eine der queerfreundlicheren Städten Deutschlands und des deutschsprachigen Raums. Dass auch hier die Angriffe und Queerfeindlichkeit zunehmen, zeigt wie sich der Hass, die Propaganda und die Normalisierung von Queerfeindlichkeit auch auf eigentlich sichere Regionen auswirkt.
Die Obernstraße befindet sich übrigens nicht in irgendeinem sozialen Brennpunkt-Viertel, sondern mitten in der Innenstadt.

Chicago mayor signs executive order directing city to resist Trump’s immigration raids
Brandon Johnson’s order directs city police not to collaborate with federal agents in immigration enforcement
The mayor of Chicago has signed an executive order outlining how the city will attempt to resist Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
Brandon Johnson pushed back on Saturday against what he called the “out-of-control” Trump administration’s plan to deploy large numbers of federal officers into the country’s third-largest city, which could take place within days.
The Chicago police department will be barred from helping federal authorities with civil immigration enforcement or any related patrols, traffic stops and checkpoints during the surge, according to the executive order Johnson signed.

Verizon has confirmed to customers in stores and online that its network is having an issue on Saturday. Many people have been unable to connect and make or receive calls for hours, while DownDetector’s tracker peaked in the afternoon at around 3:30PM ET with more than 20,000 reports. Some customers report their service has continued to function throughout the day, so it’s unclear what the cause is exactly.Downdetector’s outage map showed hotspots in many cities, and Verizon didn’t specifically list affected areas. On X, the @VerizonSupport account confirmed the issue in response to customers’ questions, but didn’t have additional details on restoration or how widespread it is

Team V.R suspicious release?
I recently downloaded this file from Audioz (I didn't run the exe, just extracted the rar.) Check out the comments, many people have run it through sandbox environments like any.run or hybrid analysis and gotten iffy results:
virustotal.com/gui/file/d1fdb9…
It looks like there are quite a few analysis services besides virustotal that are marking the file as malicious.
hybrid-analysis.com/sample/d1f…
bazaar.abuse.ch/sample/d1fdb98…
This is a popular upload on Audioz and is also listed directly on Team VR's website, so what gives? I thought Team VR was considered safe. Maybe someone experienced needs to look at their stuff a little more closely?

in reply to Rahul • • •That's 2 different questions.
I believe VLC can open m3u links (playlists). Not sure about m3u8.
As far as downloading videos from an app, good luck with that. Or if you mean using an app (say, to download from a website), you could probably do it with Firefox?
If you have access to a computer, jdownloader2 is super easy to download from most websites.
I got Macs and an iPhone and I can download stuff so I know you can with Android. (I can also send videos easily between Android and iPhone.)

in reply to cerebralhawks • • •Yes I want to download video from android app, its not anywhere else only available inside app.
On desktop windows, I use HLS download plugins in chrome or fireFox to download m3u8 streaming videos or manually find links in network inspect mode.
I want to do same but in the android app. This particular app dont download videos in its private folder but streams it, I tried using PCAPdroid and its mitmproxy addon to inspect but it is crashing , also this procedure is little complicated, i couldnt figure it out, maybe i am doing any mistake, or it doesnt work.
I am trying to find Any other easy method?
