For sure there is more users than instances. So the amount of requests would be grater but at least they wouldn't happen at the same time.

But if fediverse ever grow to be as big as other social media, then a single post/link can be viewed by thousands of users at the same time causing the same effect.

I like its simple UI, I will probably give it a try at some point.

Protected apps — Google Play Services

Whether it's a fature is arguable... Isn't a warning better?

Btw. The most interesting feature I've seen in firewall app was: blocking all traffic, but showing a notification "X app tries to access internet" [Allow] [Block] [Allow once]

The Allow/Block options added it to white/black-list so the notification doesn't appear again.

But the "Allow once" option was the interesting part. It blocked by default, but when user choose to allow once it gained temporary permission to communicate over network. I don't remember if it allowed access for as long as the app stayed in foreground or just for some predefined time. Sadly after some app update it was removed and I never seen any other firewall implement that option since.

Is something like this outside of the scope of the project?

What if they reject all cookies?

WTF. In the past I updated my tablet and after that it started to discharge within two days (not a week as it used to). The only way to fix it was to clear cache partition. And now they are removing that option.

it was removed along with the database

The only scenario where I see disabling downvotes as a good idea is when upvotes are disabled as well.

So you either:

• have only number of views (no up/down votes) so people don't chase virtual points
• or there are both of them so that when combined they result in a fair rating.

Upvoting without downvoting doesn't show if people like it, nor whether it is good or bad. It only shows that it reached a lot of people and is popular. And that can be achieved with views alone.

If you really need it not to be killed, you can always open split screen before opening the second app, or just open it in free-form mode. But this is more of a workaround than solution.

It's for modifying applications to remove or add some features. Like removing adds and suggested content or giving users access to internal storage of apps. All patches should be listed on their website if you are curious what it can do.

Not sure about e/OS but generally on android you can set DNS when connecting to Wifi.
So you should be able to change that in Settings » WIFI » [Your local network] » DNS

Is there a way to filter out system apps?

Many years ago I was using USB WiFi Modem through micro USB port on my tablet. Since that worked, my guess is USB to Ethernet should be recognized as well.

Nothing wrong with it. It is just an alternative, for those who are more concerned about privacy and security than an average user.

What is the source of this info? If it was doing serious damage to them they wouldn't publish these clients on their platform.

Soon:

Sould browser have one. It also have something similar fpr browsing images on a webpage.

I didn't see any option to make it automatic though

• Getting a proper error message when apk install fails,
• installing apps designed for older Android versions,
• downgrading to older app release
• "Freezing" apps that i currently don't use

Stealth Audio Player can do exactly that. There is "Activate for ALL APPS" option.

You should be able to find it on ApkPure

I'm excited for block and dodge improvements.

If many devs would switch to it just as they did with M3 Expressive, I'm gonna quit Android and go touch some grass instead.
