Obtainium doesn't even verify a signature before downloading a packageThis reply could not be found. - It's great if APKs are the only way to download something or for convenient track-only
- But otherwise you're actually better off setting up an RSS feed and downloading manually

- Privacy Guides Forum@Private_Plan posted in Smartwatch, which to choose?
I’ve been using a Galaxy Watch Active 2 for the past years. The reason why I’ve chosen it is because I can activate it and use it fully offline and without even connecting to a phone. Now that the watch is dead, I’m in the market for a new one. I’ve been looking at the Galaxy Watch 5 / 6 and the Ticwatch. I want a smartwatch to measure sport activity and control music playback. Having thousands ...

In reply to
Simon Müller(note that android still verifies signatures and disallows unsigned packages) - Simon Müllerit won't update on different signatures, it won't downgrade, it won't update on different dependency signatures, and it won't install at all if it's debug or unsigned.

- I swear to god they'd collect all the metadata they can
- Adora Kinoite Hyper-V VMthey...do that already tho
- bqfls2yea
- Backing up the messages server side seems like a goldmine of shit to collect
- Adora Kinoite Hyper-V VMwell if it's encrypted
- plus there's nothing forcing them not to log metadata just because there's no backups, no?
- still goes through their servers where they can see from and to
- bqfls2what are we even arguing about
- I'm not saying fb is obligated to not collect metadata
- we are in agreement

I personally use Droid-ify cause it has a lot of repositories available by default and I'm lazy to go and add them one by oneThis reply could not be found. - (To F-Droid/F-Droid basic)
- I do use F-Droid basic in my un-microG'd profile though
- cause I don't really care about installing extra apps her (other than Element)
- 𝕁𝕚𝕚𝕓𝕦𝕤Yea it is pretty annoying to have to add repos to fdroid
- They should at least have a bunch of repos added but disabled by default IMO
- bqfls2exactly what Droid-ify does
- by default F-Droid main and izzysoft are enabled
