Just a bit of a ramble on #android and #apple and #privacy and #security inspired by a recent post by @beardedtechguy.

It's a bit of a ranty post, but not trying to be mean :blobfoxheart:

I wouldn’t characterize F-Droid’s default repo as shipping apps straight from the devs. F-Droid builds and signs apps with its own key. Alongside other things, this does present some major security problems.

F-Droid Security Issues

F-Droid is a popular alternative app repository for Android, especially known for its main repository dedicated to free and open-source software.

@Seirdy where did I say F-Droid ships straight from the devs?
I mentioned Obtainium does that, not F-Droid.

Also, In general, I do not agree with the article you linked, which I've encountered before :P

https://accrescent.app/ should hopefully offer the best of both worlds.
