So I'm no fan of cryptocurrencies, and I'm dismayed at how many crypto wallet crap apps are in the main F-droid repo. Between the environmental and social effects of cryptocurrency, I think it at least would warrant an antifeature flag.

I've looked in vain for apps that allow me to at least filter out keywords or categories that I don't care about in the first place, but no luck.

Is there a general purpose repo with regular updates that also won't promote cryptocurrency by hosting apps for that purpose?

 

I'm not a fan of the turns Open Subtitles has made toward monetisation, ad injection etc. โ€” particularly not considering the unpaid volunteer work that has gone into their offerings. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was their "AI" subtitles, though.

I don't know if they sincerely think what they're doing is related to AI, the results I've had the misfortune of downloading was subpar speech-to-text gibberish. And from what I can tell they're even charging for generating those.

So, as I ask in the title, what alternatives to Open Subtitles are currently available for Kodi? I've used Subscene in the past but the add-on stopped working โ€” or maybe I just need to look into the settings again?
