Still not great…

For the love of God do not ever go to their community in any case… If you need technical help literally ask anywhere else… If you go there, you’ll end up hating GOS you’ve been warned

Oh brother tell me about it. They talk like they are the final word on computer security lol

F-droid acts as a trust for all the apps you download through it, which means if F droid is hacked, hackers can push fake update to all the apps. It is an issue, but not the biggest concern of average joe. Although F-droid should take it pretty seriously.

But I think hating on them is not the solution…

At least they could like not be paranoid and hostile…

XDA has a chat?

Oh shit I missed the “no”

Fuck that’s sad…

As long as it doesn’t get dissolved into pure hate.

I completely understand, but this only adversely affects you if f-droid getting hacked is in your threat model. And not everyone have that.

It’s sad that so many good projects is plagued by this crap. Like did we forget about the whole “respect other people’s opinions” thing?

Can y9u share some?

I would like to not delve into infighting and would like to avoid it

I do believe there is a carrying capacity, but not because they might put regulation. they already try as hard as they can to limit piracy, just look at new DRM softwares.

But the problem is if piracy become too big, the corporation s will no longer have enough incentive to make the product/servixe at all, and at that point they will just stop. For example, gaming. None of the main company has a passion to make more games despite what they say, and the moment they feel it’s not worth it, They’ll just kill the whole industry.

So piracy is dangerous in which it might act as a de incentivsor to large corporations, because they care only about money.

Not gonna root my phone circumventing all that protection GOS offers

Non crypto finance systems are trackable by design, that’s why the cops say “follow the money”

Lol wire does use Google play for notifications if you don’t turn on websocket which is off by default.

And notifications doesn’t work anyway so there’s privacy there lolol

No company is going to cater to individual needs

Huh? When did notifications become an individual need? Even corporate environment require ability to notify peers

If you want to have super duper privacy then there are apps for that already why be mad at me because I complain about lack of an app that is in the midpoint?

WHY DON’T YOU MAKE AN APP THAT BALANCES BETWEEN CONVENIENCE, USABILITY AND PRIVACY?

So basically I am not allowed to complain unless I do it myself? This is a free speech platform and I’m gonna speak whether you scream or not lol

And that is why I don’t want it to be linked with a chat account…

Isn’t it iOS only?

Wire was better, you just need to tell them a readable username, or just type my full name and it shows me!
