A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Works on Android:

  • The Play Store exists
  • All apps run in secured containers
  • Sketchy* apps run in VMs
  • Rooting disables banking and security apps

(* including all versions of Windows)

I think they also want the curated way that apple let's an application into the app store.

the play store is kinda not very restrictive...

The Play Store has become way more restrictive, they've purged tons of old and/or "inactive" apps... including some I happened to have bought some time ago.

It's made me even more of a fan of F-Droid.
