minus-squarePantherina@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-28 months agoGuys. Dont install FOSS apps from the Playstore. Use F-Droid (F-Droid Basic if you are on an updated OS) Thanks.
minus-squaretom42@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoI agree that F-Droid is great! What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid. On the other hand I don’t see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS
minus-squareIllecors@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoNot exactly. When building for play store release - google injects their tracking into the binary.
minus-squarePantherina@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoI think this is a myth. Android Studio or something allows to build it in, but Google doesnt automatically do that. Afaik
minus-squareJeknilah@monero.townlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoYeah. I usually go to the Playstore to buy out all the In-App purchases and support development, but this is really discouraging.
minus-squarePantherina@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-28 months agoTrue. But F-Droid has Donation links everywhere. I prefer that over buying, idk why. Oh, found out at least F-Droid Basic doesnt display the links! Thats not nice it has
