SatyrSack,

F-Droid installs an APK that F-Droid compiled. Obtainium installs an APK that the app developer themselves compiled. I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

Put a link to Obtainium in the GitHub ReadMe (github.com)

Since this app updates so often and it takes so long for app stores to have the latest update available, it would make sense to have a link to Obtainium right next to the links for F-Droid, Google Play, and the GitHub release page. Slide for Lemmy does something similar, though it is arguably more important there, as the app is...

SatyrSack,

Here is a previous thread on the subject of Obtainium that may answer your questions.

lemmy.one/post/392829

This particular question was answered about timely updates through Obtainium:

As for update notifications, you set the “Update Checking Interval” in the Obtainium settings (default is every 6 hours). So whenever a new APK gets added to an app’s GitHub, Obtainium will notify you of it the next time it scans for updates.

Just last week, Obtainium gave me a Liftoff update, and when I checked the patch notes on GitHub, that update had been published literally an hour ago.

SatyrSack,

Not on the main F-Droid repo, but it is on IzzyOnDroid. Add this repo to your F-Droid client, and you will be able to search F-Droid to find Liftoff

SatyrSack,

The article is not that clear, is this just a policy for apps on the Google Play store, meaning apps from F-Droid and whatnot have no issue recording calls?

SatyrSack,

I see the setting, but how do you actually begin recording a call?

SatyrSack,

Looks like that particular app was last updated before Google Play had updated their policy to prohibit using the accessibility API to record calls. Meaning that app description was probably referring to how Google had removed the API that this developer was using for call recording, when developers had not yet moved onto using the accessibility API workaround.

SatyrSack,

Beans, apparently.

SatyrSack,

Is there a Lemmy fork in the works? As I understand, the developer is going to stick with Reddit and make the app subscription-based.

SatyrSack,

I also begrudgingly migrated to Infinity after finally coming to terms with the fact that no one was going to pick up development on Slide for Reddit. I was genuinely surprised to see that someone is working on a Slide for Lemmy.

SatyrSack,

Is there anything stopping an instance from adding in their own ads?

SatyrSack,

But does that work in game mode? OP already mentioned that limitation as why they are not using KDE Connect.

SatyrSack,

What is the point of communities like this? You hate seeing the guy, but apparently want to subscribe to a community that does nothing but post about the guy?

SatyrSack,

I came across this thread while scrolling through All. I don’t like him any more than you do, I just find it odd that all you’re doing with a community like this is spamming his name even more. I had the same confusion about every EnoughXSpam subreddit I used to stumble across regardless of how I felt about the actual subject.

Are there any browsers similar to LibreWolf for mobile and Android?

I use LibreWolf mainly because it handles fingerprinting and tracking blocking well and is open source. I also do not want Tor-related stuff because I don’t want to risk going to illegal websites. So do you know any LibreWolf alternatives for mobile and Android that handle fingerprinting and tracking blocking well,...

SatyrSack,

Mull is pretty much the mobile equivalent of Librewolf. Totally different developers, but basically the same philosophy.

SatyrSack,

FreeTube is a YouTube client for Windows, Mac, and Linux built around using YouTube more privately. You can enjoy your favorite content and creators without your habits being tracked. All of your user data is stored locally and never sent or published to the internet. FreeTube grabs data by scraping the information it needs (with either local methods or by optionally utilizing the Invidious API). With many features similar to YouTube, FreeTube has become one of the best methods to watch YouTube privately on desktop.

Navy Seal Copypasta (also known as the “Marine Copypasta”, "Internet Tough Guy Copypasta” and “Gorilla Warfare Copypasta”) is a facetious message containing a series of ridiculous claims and grandiose threats that portray the poster as an Internet tough guy stereotype. In the original post, the writer claimed to be a former Navy Seal with a long history of combat experiences, using comical typos and hyperboles like "Gorilla Warfare," “300 Confirmed Kills” and “I can kill you in over 700 ways with just my bare hands.” Since its emergence in mid-2012, the copypasta has spawned a variety of spin-off stories, similar to the John Copypasta meme.

SatyrSack,

The F-Droid page for any app has a Links section under the app description. Expand that, and the Source Code link is usually the GitHub (or whatever) link you want for the app.

As for update notifications, you set the “Update Checking Interval” in the Obtainium settings (default is every 6 hours). So whenever a new APK gets added to an app’s GitHub, Obtainium will notify you of it the next time it scans for updates.

SatyrSack,

Probably too late for you now, but Obtainium has a feature to export/import its list of apps. I found that useful when I wanted to set up Obtainium on my tablet. All I had to do was export from my phone and then import it on my tablet, so I didn't have to add all the apps to Obtainium on my tablet manually.

SatyrSack,

You don't have to wait for Izzy to do its thing, which may take days to get an update to you. This will grab from the source directly without a middleman, checking the source however many times per day that you set it to. I guess you could consider Obtainium to be a middleman, but that's better than relying of Izzy and F-Droid to be your middlemen.

SatyrSack,

Also, not everything is going to be available on an F-Droid repo. Just off the top of my head, all these new Lemmy clients popping up. Because they are so new, I doubt you'll find them on Izzy yet.
