First Welcome to Lemmy!

yeah that is true that 99% don’t sideload but for example on iOS you have to pay apple to get verified. Just that barrier makes the open source community quite barren. I am just hoping that it will not be the same on Android.

I think it’s good though because in a way it means that to you see those guys are just as regular people.

As if that would change anything.

A real shame it’s not Nokia

I guess a broken clock is right twice a day. Bitter Lunduke don’t fool yourself this guy is a tool

Anything to steer people away from actually learning and developing themselves. Can’t someone just bomb Fox News already?

Thank you for sharing the source!

Here is a link to the pictures.

lol this is a calculated market manipulation by the administration.

That took me way too long to see

That looks like your average iOS autocorrupt

VLC for mp3s, flac and opus

CoMaps for navigation is really nice to have.

User instance checks out.

The problem is that 99% of android users don’t use custom roms. Therefore when google implements it’s new sideloading policy, there will be gradually less development of apps available outside the Play Store.

On the flip side this may induce a spur of GrapheneOS installs but I don’t think that the amount will be significant enough to justify maintaining a service like F-Droid.

This is a blog post from F-Droid which explains some of the concerns relating to that.

you can use ublock origin on Safari. Brave also does it by default. I have yet to see any ads so far.

Edit: You can also use Orion Browser with the full uBlock Origin. Just make sure to deactivate the integrated adblock of Orion and you shouldn’t have issues.

All Center is either far right, right or tumbling to the right

You are 100% in the right for that. I already feel like I wrote too much but I saw that this community was a bit sleepy so I thought writing about my experience would inject a bit of life here.

I could quickly add that I am pissed that I am using proprietary OS right now. at least most of my apps are open source and my desktop runs CachyOS. However at this point or soon to be Android will be just as closed source as iOS.
