Common (anime) convention experience I’m sure. When I was 15 years younger, they hosted an anime convention at a local college and attendees would rent the dorm rooms during the summer. After official events for the evening ended, the DJ kept going in a dorm study room. Every stereotype occurred. Rank B.O. in a room too small and not ventilated for the amount of people in it at 2AM with underage girls trying to get picked up by any guy willing to cross that line. Fucking gross 🤢.

I expect many forks of forks of branches for awhile until a winner emerges yeah.

Should be mentioned:

Play is sandboxed on gOS. I block Network access for Google’s Camera app as well:

I mostly use F-Droid via Neo Store but I do have Play Store still for a couple apps like for banks or this camera app.

Then for my sanity I keep this shit disabled until I actually need to use cam, mic, loc.

I’m going go try Signal-FOSS instead that you mentioned earlier.

Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

The APK from Signal’s website doesn’t require Play services, just don’t install Signal via Play Store. DaNgEr ZoNE eye rolls aside:

Annoying, I rather liked Molly.
