A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I feel safer with F-droid.

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like the overlap of people smart enough to install F-droid and dumb enough to install a dodgy adware app has to be pretty small.

Don't underestimate the dumbness of people.

Which third-party client is good for F-Droid? Or the first-party app is good?

I've been really liking Neo Store.

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yup, has F-Droid even got auto update yet? That's what sold me on Neo...

[–] StereoTypo@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure it does

[–] Unsustainable 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! It just started working when I updated it a few days ago.

Droidify is where it is at!

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it just me, or is extending your trust even further from F-Droid maybe not a great idea?

[–] hunt4peas@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some said the unofficial F-Droid apps are better than the official F-Droid itself.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Define "better" though. More secure? Safer for me and my data in the long run? Ok, cool!
