Isn’t Peertube on F-droid? People should get it so they can watch your video

Sorry for the miscommunication! I'm Gardiner's friend, dash. Together he and I run the site linked here, but Gardiner's videos are all 100% his side! If you asked me to film and or edit a video to save my life, I'd have to start digging my own grave because all of that is pure sorcery to me!

You can view my articles on the site specifically with this link here:

No, don't worry! It comes up a bit! Being on a space like Lemmy, writing and chatting about a subject like F-droid, and seeing the link to our site...it is a natural assumption to make!

I'm just glad you enjoyed the article!!! :)

I had to laugh, I had F-droid comment when I shared my article (about me recommending Droid-ify)

They do so much, and cover so many important 'system' or default included Android apps, I swear by Fossify! Was very glad to see someone keep on going and fork Simple Mobile Tools!

This is a small follow-up to my recent F-Droid-focused article, this time highlighting some of the apps I enjoy most from the platform.

From the unusual and fun (birding, anyone?) to the useful, these are the apps that keep me coming back. F-Droid is a powerhouse of options for Android users, offering a huge range of open-source software that is often far more respectful of your privacy and data than mainstream alternatives.

Amen!

The respecting a user's privacy is the key point for me. If I have an Android phone, it has to have alternative apps from a space like F-droid :)

I've tried so many Mastodon clients, Tusky is a close second, but Mastodon's own official build just remains my fav.

But I have never seen nor heard of Moshidon, I'll check it out now, thanks!

Feel free to send me a DM if you'd like :)

Agreed!

I've got FreeTube saved, or installed rather, alongside Morphe's patched YouTube just in case my fav (NewPipe) has dramas like it did earlier this month.

The fact we even have options to stay off their radar is what makes me happiest :)

In a fashion! Here you go:

https://github.com/RJNY/Obtainium-Emulation-Pack

You don't need the full lot of apps, just pick and choose what you want and need! When there is an update to it, Obtainium will fetch and install it for you!

Thank you very much!

I avoid it like the plague.

My main personal phone is on GrapheneOS, and my work phones are as basic as possible with what they run. The only time I really ever spend on Play Store (and even then I tend to use Obtainium instead) is for when I review retro handhelds which emulate.

F-droid/Izzy and so on have everything we need!

I just realized -__-

Worst reflection of my lack of research there. I did just add a callout in the intro reflecting my own idiocy on that front (there's no excuses)

You're right!

...its been their game the whole time

The U.S. took his passport away as he was in transit, right when that happened (literally blame your own gov't for this, it wasn't his decision) he was getting a connecting flight in Russia. He's since stayed there.

Crazy that you...think that Russia, what, had control of the American gov't and got them to revoke his passport mid-flight? Is that what you're getting at?

If you're open to it, there are seas to sail where you can download said APK and run it without issue. Not a 100% fix since some don't, but I have others which did and do!

As Axolotl said below, make sure you use F-droid to search for Droidify. It looks and behaves far nicer than plain old F-droid and gives you many more options!

And enjoy, I'm so glad my article helped at least one person find new things out there :) :) :)

Oh no, you're totally fine. And you're not the only one of 'that guy' who let me know! I hope you'll forgive me pasting a comment from above explaining my unexplainable stupidity on this one:

because yes…I was a complete idiot and didn’t realize these were in fact on Play Store. That is unforgivable because research for articles is like my thing, but I just never use Play Store, outside of being for emulation on retro handhelds I review.

Sorry for the confusion! I did add the callout at the bottom of my intro to explain my idiocy

You know what, I think I shall!

I appreciate it :)

It is the Lime Green Japanese DSi exclusive color!
