This is one of the reasons you should get your apps from fdroid instead of play store.

yes, but getting updates weeks later isn’t for everyone.

Right on time for the US government to lead their populace on an boogeyman hunt season by blaming anything inconvenient on an enemy state. without any evidence whatsoever… I might add.

• unrest? Russian misinformation
• online? Chinese bots
• stop funding genocide? hamas opeatives
• any criticism? people that want Trump elected

And the funny thing is everyone there eats it up like good little tools they are. But argue, US companies are not under government fingers like China and Russia. No sir, and when it’s found that they’re doing the government’s dirty work time and again behind closed doors.

“They’re conveniently just following the law, what do you expect them to do?”

Android authority? seems more like Google Advertorial…

The usual +

• Stylus with a global dark user style

I think it’s more performant and lightweight than dark reader. So I get more screentime.

I love me some Cloudflare MITM for my browsing data and authetication credentials. yum…

Finally some excellent development. Time to Make Putin into Poutine.

I’m sensing some Israeli astroturfing going on. Many people are seeing Israel for what it is from since last year. In all this, Israel could use some diversion of attention.

And what better place to concentrate your efforts on other than the rise in islamophoia along with racism in current events. Help dehumanize your enemy abroad. Although the killer wasn’t even a muslim, they are still being targeted, even after the facts came out.

Seems very suspicious to me and Israel isn’t new to brigading and astroturfing. They in-fact have state-run programmes for it.

This post is an ad first and foremost. That’s why there’s a giveaway, which probably got used up in few minutes but people will keep clicking the link anyway hoping they didn’t miss it.

Mission Accomplished!

The real “Ha” is that the west has everyone under the delusion that only China, Russia and India and others lie on their environmental statistics and they themselves are the stewards of fight against climate change. While keeping a low profile of doing the exact opposite.

Your strawman proves their peopaganda works.

“Meh! It sucks but you just wait until the other guy does something worse”

What an attitude to have. But whatever makes you sleep at night.

If users wanted updates from Play Store, they would install the app from the Play Store.

Handing it off to someone creates a whole new set of second hand responsibility, if the new maintainers go on to add something malicious.

a la: xz backdoor

The creator was shunned until everyone figured out he had handed it off to someone else.

If someone wants to continue, they can always fork it.

People don’t realize how much of reddit content is made by bot farms and advertising agencies, propaganda outlets with bots to spare. Which is what’s keeping the normies entertained, not the nerds, not the niche community of a few thousand people.

People like the one you’re replying to always are so sure their echo chamber is right when reality is like complete opposite. Most people on reddit are lurkers and not terminally online people. They just want to scroll and fucking waste time. Community, subs and their mods or rules be damned.

They don’t care if the cat videos are on a banana sub. they’ll happily upvote and scroll away while the terminally online will start complaining why the post is not fit, a repost, or against the rules for 100s of time. And as always, once they leave, they think it is dead.

Oh sweet summer child. You think they’re the only ones that spread misinformation? Wankies aren’t much different than tankies. But whatever makes you sleep at night.

The .ml ccTLD was on a contract to a company called Freenom in the Netherlands until last year, then it went back to the Mali government. Freenom gave away domains for free until then. After the switch, the owners who didn’t outright buy it lost their domains.

I’ve been wanting a ccTLD domain that’s unused for a few years. The registrar suspended the domain (required contacts not updated) and put up a standard suspended notice, but doesn’t release the domain.

I guess the owner is a domain squatter and keeps paying the bill, so the registrar keeps getting paid. Easy money

Russia does it: Abhorrent War Crime. Despicable, Atrocious, Inhumane Orcs.

Israel does it: Aww… look at our kid grow up, following on our footsteps. Send him whatever he needs ASAP.

I guess Samsung and Google has to do what Apple does, no matter how people feel about it. Copy design, features, failures and everything.

Google wants to imitate Apple pricing without the build quality, customer support, or performance to compare. Sales will tank then be on sale half off by Black Friday in some regions.

I mean I would at least pay more than they currently make by serving me ads based on all the bullshit.

It never fails to amaze me how purposefully dense people can be. There are literal thousands of more users who will use the app for free and ignore the minor inconvenience of ads by simply ignoring it or using an adblock. Believe it or not, the universe doesn’t revolve around your personal needs. That 1 cent from a user becomes thousand with thousand users and grows thousand more if it’s actually good. But you know all the ins and out of app dev since you mention lunar program approach. 🤦‍♂️

Or better yet, how about you develop software that doesn’t just take up whateber is currentlt available RAM and power???

I mean I would at least pay a one time fee of $3.50 and expect lifetime of updates. It’s more than some currently make by serving me ads based on all the bullshit.

I agree that there are tons of shitty apps but this holier than thou attitude without any experience of their own as app developers is fucking insane. Be the change you want to see, instead of being angry at other people, all the time.

There’s a reason most of the regular posters on reddit and (probably lemmy too? it isn’t hard to automate these things) are likely run by marketing agencies. Post relevant posts 90% of the time, comment occasionally, and then sneak in a post or ad disguised as an article rest of the time.

All run by virtual assistant in some third world countries for that human touch.
