You seem to add a permission for the sensors to apps, and then updating/installing apps reports a different set of permissions from the apps manifest, leading to fdroid notifying the users about it.<br/><br/>Ignoring the absolutely useless implementation of *how* they notify, isn&#39;t this generally a good thing?<br/><br/>(I see why you add it, and i don&#39;t disagree with it, i just don&#39;t see where the friction comes from between fdroid and gos here) 2025-07-03T21:42:43Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg0sa2w4epte49yd42tq3q3taaua70rjy2kescqngy2pnc7n0lkvqzypmaksehh0j6d28js8yry6scvk2zve44xvjazmqs576fza66jps3qftcf56 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy3s7jylhkj7e4eyhjtm00yjzej8cwnx66j2d485l3n6nafw899xsuxwlcp'>nevent1q…wlcp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s one thing i don&#39;t quite understand with grapheneos.<br/><br/>Why the rush with new major versions? It seems like you work on android 16 support like hell, is there a reason why it can&#39;t be delayed? Don&#39;t older versions like 15 recieve security patches anymore?<br/><br/>Don&#39;t get me wrong, i seriously enjoy your work, and many of the additional features you provide have become must haves for me, but i don&#39;t mind waiting for quality work, especially 1/2 2025-06-21T21:38:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrj5afv2929vnfncpaz63ac965erzxvk08agm63w8ey42jk0qv3nczypmaksehh0j6d28js8yry6scvk2zve44xvjazmqs576fza66jps3qrdf3dv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswh7avgmmdzpd2x9nufrzhyarck0d32cdt0rjd2aetsqw437jvv5qpq6gqa'>nevent1q…6gqa</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>prevent account recovery *at all* even for legitimate users, requiring them to get a new phone number.<br/><br/>Also, at least on android, you cannot get around of a password for the backups. (If you accept the premise of backups needing encryption, which is open to debate) It has different requirements than a pin, and therefore need to be different. But the main point is: not everyone *needs* backups, and are fine with loosing them, so this should indeed be optional.<br/><br/>However, 2/3 2025-06-05T06:12:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswh7avgmmdzpd2x9nufrzhyarck0d32cdt0rjd2aetsqw437jvv5qzypmaksehh0j6d28js8yry6scvk2zve44xvjazmqs576fza66jps3q8aemw9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsft9253pkg344unsfdr2tyrqk8tx5kfn4zzjyfs48m80e8vz7veuctqdzw9'>nevent1q…dzw9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I agree with the opt-out for the registration lock, but i don&#39;t see why the expiry is an issue. The registration lock is lifted after a week of inactivity of *all* devices.<br/><br/>Reregistering the number (w/o pin) would immediately clear all accociated data, AND notify all peers that the security number changed. (That indeed has it&#39;s own ux-issues, but that is true or worse for all other messengers aswell)<br/><br/>When i think about this, making the pin permanent would 1/n 2025-06-05T06:05:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyhued6jkm06eck6hnhwa2d3t86augwqppdwmkxvlkxrxdytcj4gqzypmaksehh0j6d28js8yry6scvk2zve44xvjazmqs576fza66jps3qy9gvmx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst729x4e29x9kep687c935s4fre658vgvrrlhvp4ym6efz9jl7kkqgsh3x5'>nevent1q…h3x5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Signal has a primary device that the others are only getting linked to. If you reinstall, then the main identity is gone, and relinking will delete them. That is kinda expected.<br/><br/>I also think your conception of what signal is trying to be isn&#39;t quite complete. Telegram&amp;Discord are social media apps disguised as messengers, signal is a messenger only. that&#39;s why its (sometimes too) basic.<br/><br/>SMS(probably rcs too) and Whatsapp are horrible in terms of privacy, and absolutely no comparison 2025-06-04T19:56:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst729x4e29x9kep687c935s4fre658vgvrrlhvp4ym6efz9jl7kkqzypmaksehh0j6d28js8yry6scvk2zve44xvjazmqs576fza66jps3qxw2vsa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs94dttvznysj23tpghu4tndwq28pu006evhther88l8gvrxapgn4sfh0kc0'>nevent1q…0kc0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Signal isn&#39;t susceptible against sim swaps. You can add a registration lock that requires a pin that prevents that kind of takeover.<br/><br/>You also should only loose your chats if you re-install the app and don&#39;t restore a backup, were they just gone? That&#39;s probably something you might want to open an issue with signal directly. 2025-06-04T19:42:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswtvctqmuv74phj4pddeqyfj2rnn0y7gk3s6kr58w4f5kc3ym5zhqzypmaksehh0j6d28js8yry6scvk2zve44xvjazmqs576fza66jps3q75t9kr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0y6v03qwx3grvec43yqrtws3zl9nww02jl0jntrrq0fqrvsdvfmswg452l'>nevent1q…452l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks, see my other comment. I have overlooked the &#39;ads&#39; section in the settings which enables/disables adblocking. I wonder if it deserves a more prominent link to it...<br/><br/>Have you had issues with multi-stage logins? 2025-06-03T17:13:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr4mr0whyx5h0kt97ztn4q6ltxr527lhpyc7z2ccqv34l2eqmw7rgzypmaksehh0j6d28js8yry6scvk2zve44xvjazmqs576fza66jps3qh25dhh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs975djgdht3yu7udwxpga07asv25e6tcvdqxm7k63qracgj8rl9rcxvkffz'>nevent1q…kffz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Oh, you&#39;re right! I was looking through the settings and i must have overlooked the &#39;Ads&#39;-section. That&#39;s great! From github issues it looked like it was still experimental.<br/><br/>And i have figured out why the password prompt seemingly does not work. I have been using two-stage logins (ebay/amazon) where it only shows up for the password. Single stage ones seem to work fine. Is this expected, or depends on which password manager i am using?<br/><br/>Sorry for the confusion, and many thanks! 2025-06-03T17:08:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0z6fp7vd60a39taxxxah4lwk20yk90m6hc5f2lua4e4pdtfj0yuszypmaksehh0j6d28js8yry6scvk2zve44xvjazmqs576fza66jps3qtlpv35 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx7z2949pvcpp3v8sy2883e07gqc2uz0ayhaxuv6c2zwg8tlg25jsxz399j'>nevent1q…399j</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>There are two things i regularly run into when trying to use vanadium:<br/><br/>1. No adblocking/contentblocking (for usability-reasons, not privacy)<br/>2. Missing support for &#34;external&#34; password managers via the autofill service<br/><br/>From what i have read, 1 is a future feature (that i probably can also work around with an adblocking vpn app), and two *should* work. But i am not getting the prompts. Do i need to configure anything special for that? 2025-06-03T16:49:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2gjdf7lzx0tlvr7zyddwwtk0s3cssjdav3z848de20j6usatmmgszypmaksehh0j6d28js8yry6scvk2zve44xvjazmqs576fza66jps3qnwhx2w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg9qalwp0lw8z6upxy7zk3rerm5ayj0yhx8puw67zf5puk392grngr85hgv'>nevent1q…5hgv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>How much of an improvement are we speaking of? Most of the time signal is using a lot less energy in comparison to most other apps i am using. 2025-05-22T16:03:49Z
