Might be worth noting that several devs have suggested users use IzzyOnDroid instead. Due to IzzyOnDroid distributing official upstream builds (after scanning), they're not dependent on any build server. Although they do have build ser

IzzyOnDroid can publish updates even if it's not reproducible, this is not an "app publishing" issue at all. IzzyOnDroid can deal with AGP 8.12 fine. Also "not necessarily your fault" means "probably not your f

I see SimpleLogin mentioned in the replies several times, but I haven't seen anyone mention that you can use your own domain name with them to prevent vendor lock-in. You can also export your setup through their API so you can very eas

Okay, so the title is not 100% correct, but I had to make it fit. It is specifically about unambiguous translations of the word Libre, like the Dutch "vrije". These are translations that cannot be mistaken for "free as in no

Why is Matomo not in the Analytics category but listed below "Check out alternatives to popular commercial products"? Matomo is Open Source too? (Also, "Open Source" is not the opposite of "commercial")

I scroll down a bit into the comments and it's all "jews this", "jews that", etc. I'm pretty sure this was completely deserved. Mods, can we just close this pathetic attempt to get more users on this right-wing

So, 3 to 4 years. Still less than Fairphone's 5 years. But hey, an improvement is still an improvement.

I use a Pi-Hole and on top of that uBlock Origin. Seems a pretty nice combination. For privacy though, you need to know what level of privacy you're aiming for. At a certain point, adblockers and tracking protectors won't help and
