Oh interesting. I picked it from a list as it appeared to be a more privacy-focused instance and blocked all the annoying pseudo political communities. That said, having to pick a random line from the communist manifesto during sign up as a spam account filter should have been my clue. Chalked it up as a quirk of the developers…
I’m curious, why block Lemmy.ml?
Never expected to see Yandex mentioned in a privacy focused forum…
Interesting that you’ve had such a negative experience with Google Fi. My job requires regular relocation around the globe plus frequent international travel. I have yet to visit a country where it doesn’t work for the ~10 years I have been with them.
Thanks for the link.
From my quick read, doesn’t seem that they don’t support it. More of a caution to understand the risks involved with each App Store. For example, their comments regarding F-Droid are completely valid.
All you get from F-Droid is knowing that the developer adding a closed source third party library will likely get detected and the app won’t get updated, but in exchange you’re trusting people to build/sign the apps who have shown consistent untrustworthy behavior. You’re also getting significantly delayed updated in many cases.
Ah gotcha. Wasn’t aware the GOS team doesn’t like F-Droid.
What do you mean it doesn’t support fdroid? I’m using fdroid on my GOS phone and GOS tablet.
In addition to the other comments, we should note that the photo in question is referencing the OJ Simpson murder case, a very high profile and racially charged trial among the public in the U.S.
