“Seal downloader” from the Playstore and “Seal” from F-Droid are 2 very different apps. One is a a clone riddled with ads, the other one is FOSS goodness. You are free to guess which is which.

I was very interested in the thumbnail of this post so I did a little digging and found this: The PDF to the Paper where the whole picture is

That would be “accepting the premise of assholes” as Louis Rossman would say.

Gayjay is also a option if you want to avoid the adds.

Wild theory: could it have been malicious compliance? Maybe the dev got a written notice to do it that way from some incompetent manager.

I am pretty certain my Audi 80 from 1994 doesn’t know anything about me. Can’t opt out, if it doesn’t collect anything.

I am glad I finally got my wife use this Foss alternative instated of some garbage that sends your data to a proprietary server.

What F-droid Version are you using? On the recommended version the downgrade button is still there.

Well basicly all instruction you need and it’s explained pretty well on the lineage os website itself. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/m8/ The hardest part was getting the unlocktoken since htc doesn’t take new htcdev registrations. I got hellped by a member on Lemmy who had a old htc dev account.

A member of lemmy wrote me that he had a htcdev account from years ago and offered me to send me the unlock token for my phone after sending him the OEM identifier token.

It really was good practice, It’ll not be my main phone. That was more or less just a proof of concept or a bit of tinkering.

Allready deleted that app, if you scroll thru the comments you can see that it’s been replaced by signal.

Good point, I’m gonna uninstall it. I just waned to show someone that you dont need the playstore to install WhatsApp
