Personally, I am going to pass on digital assistants until the privacy issues are addressed. With that said, it is scary how good Google and Amazon are in this area compared to the competition.

Yes, that's a real problem. At the same time, as long as Google is very clear why they are doing that I think they will be okay. After all, they already do this on Chromebook. Now, why should they do this? Because I have seen malware s

It's partially on fdroid. It's not always trivial to submit new apps and ensure it compiles correctly on their build servers. Same goes for updates, which can be silently dropped due to any number of tool issues. If you are a fron

Sure but looking back, I can also tell you that almost all great ideas I have ever had were initially rejected. For a long time I thought this was due to poor presentation. Then one day it hit me: the reason boss/coworker doesn't

When? They have a link to Amazon (it's not even an app, just a link) and that's about it.
