Sorry I only know this from things I’ve read myself so it’s at best third hand info, but yeah from what I understand F-Droid is pretty much under constant threat of just vanishing.
I use quite a lot of F-Droid apps myself so obviously I don’t want it to and wish it had an alternative.
No, F-droid.org is already on its last legs, although I do hope it survives but from what I know one single guy now controls the entire repo and had made threats to shut it down more than once.
I hope somebody forks the entire thing and hopefully does it with an attempt of it surviving as Google has gotten wild in their restrictions and something like F-Droid is sorely needed.
Google lately has tried to restrict Android to below Ios levels. This will kill Android altogether imo and can’t be allowed.
Androids only strength as an os was freedom and that under serious attack mostly by Google themselves.
Shouldn’t it be impossible for them to even be able to hand over your notifications in the first damn place.
There’s no reason I can think off that they should even have this info.
Imessage is garbage, nobody cares.

Pretty sure revanced supports twitch if you have an android phone it’s a bit of a learning curve though took me quite a while to patch tiktok and involved command line on my laptop to make the right apk.
That said you might be lucky and have the revanced manager do it on your phone.
I hate Android updates mostly as Google seems to want to restrict it down to Ios levels recently.
They seem determined to make it hard to use emulators and to kill off apps like tasker… My latest experience has also been soured by having a nothing phone were every update seems to introduce more issues and not even attempting any bug fixing or optimisation it’s turned what was a pretty good phone originally into a constantly rebooting pos.
Should really be the big isps being investigated it took me nearly 2 months and an ombudsman to actually cancel virgin when they were legally bound too after raising prices.
Then I went to sky and they immediately started double charging me.
Wish I was joking.
Leave Proton alone ffs, without them I would have my Internet seriously limited by default by UK isps and the moronic Government that just wants everything to be it’s own propaganda.
Blokada overrides the dns to its own and even then I don’t see how dns is at all relevant because it blocks the update server from being connected with.
Random reboots, battery life gets worse each update for no reason I can figure out using GSam Battery Monitor. The memory management is the worst of any Android phone I’ve owned despite 4 times more ram.
I’ve resorted to using an app called saver tuner to get what should be a normal battery life and that required adb permissions.
Nothing phone 1 from launch up to 1.5.6 very solid quick phone after the 2 update it went to garbage and as far as I can tell they shadow ban every single person on Reddit who brings up any issue and there’s a lot of them.
Basically everything is getting constantly worse and I’m convinced they ban anyone who has issues and I don’t think they’ve ever fixed a single issue.
So yeah I think they suck and and only care about pulling pr stunts and I’m actually kinda happy nothing chats backfired on them.
My only comment is avoid this company they introduce new issues every update and never fix a thing.
They seem more determined to pull pr stunts then actually supporting their devices and I’m pretty sure their headphones and watches are just aliexpress junk with some disguises and the prices multiplied
Well mine didn’t update at all until I manually added the servers from amazon it was blocking by default.
So I kind of assume taking them off again is a temporary solution. That said I can’t guarantee they haven’t changed anything since then and I might wake up to a worse fire cube sometime.
Ads are a genuine real security concern if it became a choice between YouTube and adblockers it’s bye YouTube for me.
Its a battle YouTube isn’t going to win, and to be honest YouTube has never and will never be a viable business their best bets just asking for donations and playing nice to anyone using it.
I have blokada on mine I had whitelisted all the amazon servers it connects with but when I read this I removed them all to stop it updating hopefully.
Will probably work until I get round to trying the xda fix.
I dunno Bluetooth kinda blew me away recently but it was when I bought a new phone. The range of my earbuds suddenly started working perfectly even when I think I was about 50 meters away.
I presume the newer Bluetooth version made this happen when before it wad like maybe a room away maybe 15 meters at best.
Cyberdyne systems has a nice friendly ring to it.
That’s just what japan wants you to think
My brains thinking Finland but I might be wrong.
Hope he wins Google’s gone full evil lately and isn’t even trying to hide it.
An observation I’ve made using bubblupnp on my Android phone is I can’t directly cast to my fire cube with my vpn app on yet if I open vlc on the cube itself it can see the dlna library and play it.
So yeah it’s a bit strange.
