I would recommend not downloading any app that isn’t open source that has that permission enabled to begin with.

I think the conventional wisom is diet is more important than exercise in losing weight, although I think most people would recommend working out once a week regardless if you would lose weight or not, basically any working out would be positive if you aren’t at all, it couldn’t hurt to do sit ups and push ups and see where that takes you.

which apps are seeing your shared storage when you export your contacts?

in a foss contacts app

I said in a foss one, I don’t think the foss developers are conspiring to get rid of your contacts, maybe for apple you might have to hope the developer doesn’t get burnt out, but the android foss community is pretty robust, but if you’re that paranoid just put them in a txt file or a spreadsheet.

You might still have to use a gmail account for this though, depending on if your email works with it.

There’s also Nextcloud which would be self hosted.

And the extremely low tech solution of just having them offline in a foss contacts app and exporting backups to your storage.

I’m sympathetic to people who were talking directly to a federal agent, except in the case of pedophilia. God forbid they just arrest the person for running an illegal business and not try to entrap them. By doing that they probably contributed to him getting the pardon in the first place.

Amazing that he can simultaneously want to close both borders to prevent drugs coming in and then pardons the architect of the biggest drug selling website of the time. I would prefer the vast majority of people in prison including Ulbricht to be rehabilitated, and not locked up, but that is some real cognitive dissonance.

Droidify is a client of F-Droid, I wouldn’t say either is better, it’s preference.

I imagine they just want to recommend something already on F-Droid, and, I also imagine the IronFox people will start releasing on F-Droid directly soon vs having a added repo. But, adding the repo is not hard.

Owned by someone almost no one likes, shoves 1000s of ads down your throat, can’t even look at something someone else sent you because you don’t have an account. Why are people leaving???

I’m guessing this is from consumer pressure, until the Switch people definitely bought more physical copies of games and the minority of people got digital versions of DS/Wii-U games, but now so many people are using nintendo online and buying virtual copies people probably would not buy the next console if they had to buy the games they liked again.
