On Android, we're used the "Play Store" being both the app that facilitates downloads as well as the collection of apps available. With F-Droid, you can add additional collections of apps to make available for download.

You might add an additional repository to gain access to apps not in the main F-Droid repository. You might add a developer's repository to gain access to updates to their apps before those updates hit the main F-Droid repository.

Divest is the developer repository for app maintained by Divest OS, a fork of Lineage OS.

There is safety there, but you're just as safe using the the developer's own repository for their apps, like NewPipe, Collabora, or the Guardian Project.

I've never felt so seen in a comment. Also, you're down to monthly?

Something worth noting is that F-Droid is both an app to download other apps but they also maintains a repository of apps. You can use alternative store apps (like Droid-ify) with the F-Droid repository OR you could use the F-Droid app with a different repository (like IzzyOnDroid). You can mix and match to meet your needs.

I use the Droid-ify app with the F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, microG, NewPipe, and Collabora repositories.

Once you start down this rabbit hole, give Obtanium a look.

I don't want AI sound removal. Give me a feature that is useful like a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone.

It was such a solid television show. I've got preschoolers at home now, but I can't wait to share it with them (along with a lot of other sci-fi).

The real question remains, can you flip it upside down for an episode like in the first season?

I didn't realize how many community run servers were out there.

Why not both? My daily driver is Linux Mint with XFCE as my DE.

The Smart Band 7 with Gadgetbridge is great! You can track a ton and your data stays on your devices instead of being sent to China. Unless that's your thing. You be you.

FlorisBoard is great! It's not had a release in about year but that doesn't mean it's not under active development. The developer is currently working on the Natural Language Processing component.
