ISO 8601

Lol I just make sure they’re formatted as ISO dates or timestamps and store them as text, you can do good enough date operations on them

I find the lack of dates the most annoying

:o

After 99 you just get a ♾️ symbol

AliExpress makes alibaba/taobao products available to intl shoppers, do the mentioned competitors have similar intl offerings, or are they China-domestic only?

It would slow down a little

No need to click, it complains about exactly what has now been changed. In essence you are always trusting the dev, why add other parties to that chain

Yes, that video is primarily complaining about F-Droid self-signing, and that it creates: a requirement to trust them; a single point of failure for security; and slows updates

The trade off is that developers must maintain their key, if they lose it the user must uninstall and reinstall the app, as Android will not trust an update signed with a different key

F-Droid used to build and sign the APK for each app they distribute using keys owned by F-Droid

That meant you had to trust F-Droid to distribute the app as per the source, and hope that the source hadn’t been compromised (as the developer wasn’t signing anything)

Now when a new app is added to the repo, they build an APK from source and compare it with an APK distributed by the developer

If they match exactly (and if there is no reason to think the developer key has been compromised) then F-Droid will instead distribute APKs signed with the developer key, and verify that the same key was used for each update

If the same key was used, F-Droid doesn’t need to build the APK themselves but can distribute the update as-is

The advantages then are that F-Droid is acting as an additional layer of security and assurance to the developer signing the APK, and updates can be distributed faster as F-Droid doesn’t have to build them

And the wax can build up in the washer causing all sorts of issues, particularly in front loaders

long loooong maaaaan

Every time someone says experienced users should use a more difficult to use distribution I die a little inside - I happily use Mint, have done for years, why make my life more difficult?

I use Firefox on desktop and Mull (fork) on Android. I have zero problems with Firefox. I don’t really use YT and don’t mind going to the website when I do so can’t comment on embedded videos

I have used the Voyager PWA and it will hang after being in the background so you have to reopen, but not sure if this is a Firefox issue

Only using basic extensions like UBlock Origin on Android, lots of extensions on desktop (and literally hundreds of tabs open)

Depending on your launcher it can be even easier. I use the Firefox logo on Mull (Firefox fork from F-Droid) to make it easier to find

Bitwarden are not in the default repo

F-Droid has a setting that allows you to hide apps with anti-features. One of them is ‘source code no longer available’ but another for ‘source code not updated in 2+years’ would be great for this

Cool cool, definitely not criticising, and a great article to post

I think the weakness of the article was mentioning that the email passed the Security Policy Framework (i.e. appeared to legitimately be from x.com) without discussing why this is possible and who is responsible for it not happening

They even say in bold that ‘the primary responsibility less with the end user’, but in this case even careful users could easily be caught
