hemlockiv Hb1hf not sure I follow what sort of compromised infrastructure could lead to that result. You mean someone's personal git repo being hacked? If we are now considering a threat model that includes trusted devs unknowingly compiling malicious code not included in their open source code, then we're back to square one of "never install any apk you didn't audit and compile yourself"
soupslurpr hemlockiv offtopic, but could you explain why Transcribro is less reliable than Futo Voice? I'm the lead developer of Transcribro, I'd just like to know what reliability bugs you found so I can fix them. If you can, please report it to Transcribro's GitHub issue tracker (https://github.com/soupslurpr/Transcribro/issues) but I understand if you don't have an account. Please let me know, thanks.
Xtreix soupslurpr Hi ! are there any plans to add other languages such as French to the text-to-speech ? I remember the last time I used it, it only supported English, thanks ! Edit : I read the topic on Github, this seems like good news.
juicer LazyT Why should it? IIRC the idea for it was to be a secure Play Store alternative. It's even called "App Store" now, not just "Apps." I hope they keep adding more quality apps.
tomz I installed qlango from accrescent.. my DNS log picked up the following trackers from the app. Most were already blocked (red colour - entries from mobile DNS blocklist, but one got through to the net (green colour). Are accrescent apps supposed to have all these trackers allowed? https://paste.pictures/QiEaCKHzmn.png
DeletedUser88 tomz Accrescent aims to have both closed-source and open-source apps available in the App Store. Qlango is the first closed source app published on Accrescent and that app has Google analytical libraries. This app does not violate any of Accrescent's app review policies and so it was allowed on the store. In the future, it is planned for Accrescent to have a tag to differentiate between closed-source and open-source apps.
DeletedUser88 tomz To further add to my point, Accrescent does not have a policy against analytics libraries in apps. As time goes on, it is more likely that apps containing analytical libraries will be added to Accrescent.
DeletedUser217 I think most users still would have preferred if the functionality to distinguish between open and closed source apps had been added prior to accepting Qlango, even if it technically meets the requirements.
Elgoog Am I correct in understanding that: Accrescent is more secure than F-Droid or Aurora: I can be confident that the app I have installed from Accrescent is the app the developer intended me to have; and Accrescent is more private that Google Play: it does not keep track of which apps I have; but There is no guarantee that apps downloaded from Accrescent won't spy on me?
Xtreix Elgoog Yes, you've got the gist. Accrescent is the main store recommended by GrapheneOS and its aim is to become an open-source alternative to the Google Play Store without a user account.
