When fdroid?

This launcher is not avaliable on fdroid and chock full if google's spyware telemetry.

Why cares if he used ASOP or not no one should be using this launcher.

Honestly I wish those developers would focus on the basics rather than esoteric input devices.

KDE isn't stable enough with a regular mouse and keyboard, let alone fancy input devices. It crashes WAY too often and has too many bugs which require the user to constantly have to use the terminal to work around.

KDE: get your priorities straight and focus on basic stability and usability first.

Yes that is what we are left with.

Mozilla bought k9 and killed it, sad day for users.

No that will not work, users already opened an issue and asked to remove the spyware and Mozilla closed it:

https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8199

Mozilla has gone full evil already, they took the only full featured, completely privacy respecting email app on the platform and killed it and they did it sneakily as well just like they did with PPA on firefox.

Luckily K9 in its existing version is fully functional. Users who care about privacy can continue to use K9.

K9 is a near perfect email client.

All Mozilla did was take an existing privacy respecting app (with zero user tracking) and add their spyware telemetry code to it: 544mozilla.telemetry.glean.

Now they are gas lighting users by advertising this new version as "privacy-focused".

Mozilla is like a virus at this point.

Because they took an existing, completely spyware free app- K9 and added invasive 544mozilla.telemetry.glean telemetry platform to it.

Now they need you to "test it" so they can track you and grab your data.

On the surface it looks the same as K9. Under the surface however Mozilla added spyware and their mozilla telemetry tracking code...

[–] Melco@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Now with 100% more Mozilla spyware!! (previously K9 had none)

[–] Melco@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Mozilla added hundreds of classes of spyware to K9 in their mozilla.telemetry.glean.* (which previous to Mozilla's involvement was spyware free) and rebranded it "Thunderbird" and now advertise it as "privacy-focused" wow..

From an exodus privacy scan of the code:

603 tested signatures on 18351 classes (10929653)

K9 is not Thunderbird. There is a critical difference.

K9 is a private respecting app which contains no malicious user tracking telemetry, this app does.

[–] Melco@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It won't be allowed at fdroid its full of Mozilla's spyware.
