Legally, yes. Technically one always has to assume that companies have the ability to delete your accounts / data, why wouldn't they be able to do that? In larger systems it might be complicated and not every employee would have the permissions to do so, but certainly not impossible. Having your chatbot suggest that this is not the case is just not true.

> Categories play an important role in helping users browse the repository, so we’ve expanded and refined them significantly

Are people actively using F-Droid categories to find new apps? I don't think I know anyone who does, and I've only ever used the search functionality.

i have occasionally browsed. but the experience is not very pleasant.. droidify is a bit better but also not much

Yes, games

I'm not using the contactless payment feature and get the same crash and error.

The app can still be used too but requires the per-app secure spawning toggle with recent app versions. It's due to PayPal shipping buggy anti-tampering code.

Funnily koreader comes with a lot of features that are useless to me, but I love that I can just disable the respective plugins.

For most app ads it's enough to set a DoT or DoH in the system that blocks ad domains. Android supports this with a settings menu entry, on Apple one needs a more "technical" solution I think (loading some XML?). Most VPN apps also support DNS enforcement.

Apps like YouTube are an exception, but there are other ways around that on Android.

> YouTube... Ways around that on Android

Have DoH/DoT enabled as you mention, then open brave, go to YouTube.com

Apps that don't work don't fail due to technical reasons but because upstream says so, i.e. Google Wallet. My banking app works just fine.

Yes.

GOS doesn't support root by itself since they deem it a security risk, but it's possible.

AFAIK you can verify the integrity of an existing GrapheneOS installation.

Indeed you can: https://grapheneos.org/install/web#verifying-installation

What app are you using?

It's just called WireGuard, by the "WireGuard Development Team" off google play.

Pretty sure thats the c implementation not the go one

AFAIK the C implementation is a kernel module that's not shipped in stock Android releases. The WireGuard Android app uses that module when available, but otherwise uses wireguard-go.

Good knowledge here, was unaware of this feature of the app. Would there be any case of the app defaulting to the wireguard kernel module if it's not included by any OEM Android release? I would assume that means most users are actually running wireguard-go.

I hope so.

Let's be honest, if we are talking about UX for the average user the koreader UI has a long way to go in general.

Yeah they could take some lessons from Plato. However, koreader works on everything. Android, Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook etc. Not just on Kobo like Plato does.

It took me some getting used to but it's not bad IMO. It's more that its conventions are a bit different from the commercial readers but that's not a bad thing.

Koreader is pretty intimidating at first but once you dig into its features and know what's going on, it's pretty easy to navigate into the menus. It require some time to invest at first, but after that it's really "set and forget" with some lovely features and power to customise absolutely everything. I love the statistics wallpaper that shows you how much you read previous 7 days, per day, and the fact that you can set every book parameter as default, making every epubs looking the same, something I've never been able to achieve with stock Kobo, where I absolutely hated beginning a new book and discover huge fonts, weird margins, and tiny line-spacing, that I had to set again.

I just installed it on my Kindle Oasis. No way to just replicate the Kindle view of all my books in a list regardless of directory, and the real killer was that it doesn't invert page turn buttons when the display is rotated. PRs welcome, I'm sure, but I had to give up on it.
