lnxw48a1: With #Matrix, the #Riot.im client was replaced by #Element, which is buggy. In the process, the upstream used to produce the #miniVector client was disrupted, so that client is discontinued. #Pattle's developer also decided to discontinued it. I'll have to look around #F-droid to see what else is available.

lnxw48a1: @clacke Yes. The reason I posted is that people think that #F-Droid will step in and rescue apps that #Google #Play_Store bans, but history shows that is not the case.

lnxw48a1: Yes, #F-Droid is a better option than #Google_Play, but F-Droid is also known to expel Fediverse client apps when confronted with an astroturf campaign against them.

lnxw48a1: @thndrbvr @dorkbird Did you ever try #I2P? I found the app in #F-droid, so I installed it, but it took years before it actually worked on any of my devices. Then, once I finally got it working, I found a directory in which most of the links were dead ... there was no longer a site there.

lnxw48a1: Is there something on #F-Droid that is similar to #iOS "Dash"? It is convenient to view the help / API docs for various scripting languages.

lnxw48a1: “Turn on Play Protect” None for me, thank you. I see the kinds of garbage that gets into the #Google #Play_Store. I’d rather rely on a few motivated #F-Droid maintainers to inspect and package the software on my devices than your auto-scan software. (BTW, let me emphasize again that #de-google is NOT ENOUGH. #DecentraLife ... I want to remove not just Google from my life, but all #corpocentric gatekeepers.)

lnxw48a1: Message from #F-Droid informing that Firefox Klar has a serious unpatched vulnerability. They recommend removal. I guess that means it is abandoned? Is the Play version (Firefox Focus) similarly vulnerable, or is there just no current maintainer?

lnxw48a1: Is there an #Android language learning app on #F-droid that people would recommend? Likewise for #iOS ... I tried DuoLingo, but the gamification and resulting frequent notifications felt like harassment (not to mention my not being interested in creating the membership that it often pushed for). I deleted it.
