In the details for potential URL in memory, it says that's for .onion address.

Thank you for posting the report, after I read through it, everything to me is clean and clear. The FDroid apk does not communicate with any outside resource that is not part of the anonymous network.

The Github version relies on Google, and to me nothing in the report suggeats that the FDroid version communicates with Google services.

I will take Intel being sold or going under over cronyism and corporate welfare.

I assume that you're at least halfway joking about backdoors in Intel.

Anything released on Github has no code requirements or restrictions, that is why some people do reproducible builds of software, to verify is has 100% functionality of a binary release. Any app from F-Droid is repoducible.

If Intel can't pay their own bills from Intel's money, they can be sold to a private company, file for chapter 11, or go out of business.

I woud still like for you to do a scan on the FDroid SimpleX apk to verify the difference for yourself instead of whatever I say about it.

The link for F-Droid security issues is goijg on 3 years old, have you looked at the code xhanges for F-Droid since then?

For using Obtainium, how do you avoid or block all apps from Github that depend on GCM, Firebase, or Google services? That's wh I uae F-Droid and disable all anti-features so those apps are never listed, even if I search for an app that has Google dependancies, F-Droid will say that app does not exist or is not listed, as long as all anti-features is disabled.

It's too bad that the F-Droid releases are far behind. I do not install from Github to prevent against proprietary dependancies.

I can't speak to that with a familiar level with the code, I can only presume or guess. All I will say is that is why I never install any app from Github or Gitlabs, because there is no third party verification of the code for releases on those sites.

I only use F-Droid after disabling all anti-features in Settings and then install apps that I know are 100% clean from all dependancies.

Download the SimpleX apk from F-Droid website and then run that to see what it says for any difference in the results.

Ok, what about it? Are you expecting a specific reaction?

[–] Mettled@reddthat.com 5 points 9 months ago (13 children)

Is that based on the F-Droid version of SimpleX from the native F-Droid repository?

I had some level of assumption that Vance was picked as the heir to continue on the work to protect the people from the government and corrupt corporations, and enforce individual rights.
