@BenSpiers @cyrus Thanks for the information 👍🏻 I've already downloaded it via #Aptoid

It's great, that these stores exist, but it would even be better if the self-proclaimed privacy solution #1 would properly support using APKs and not redirect to hostile websites without indication or warning

@shaedrich it does, the APK is right there on the website with a signature and auto-updater built right in.

@shaedrich I didn't think I'd have to explain that external repos and included package managers are a lot more commonplace on mainline Linux than on Android

@cyrus Not the point.

See https://mastodon.online/@shaedrich/112747976136403148 and https://mastodon.online/@shaedrich/112748010650342842

Give me options. Be transparent. That's what I'm asking for.

@[email protected] Yeah sure, why would I use Google when I'm concerned about #privacy? Being in favor of privacy but then saying you swim with the tide, knowing that most people don't care about privacy or are too comfortable using privacy-respecting solutions.
