You are entitled to the truth. If the dev knows their software could have very damaging effects then that should be front and center on the software page.

I recommend using Obtainium. It is not a store by himself but it is compatible with a lot of stores including github.

Source available if only requeated is not enough, the big benefit is when any one can at any point check the code on a whim. Not ask for a permit and wait until the company decides(if they decide or just leave you hanging) to give you a copy of the code.

Besides the fact that even in this scenario, malicious code can be hidden.

simplicity, there is a comfort from not having to position windows for mutitasking

Can't tell if it's satire or not.

Not true, you get the open source code and you compile it yourself then compare the checksum of what you compiled with app installer. If they match that means they didn't add extra code besides whats in the open source.

Even if the keyboard is open source, you cannot guarantee that the app that is installed by the app store is the open source version.

I don't think that would cover it. URLchecker acts as a default browser. When you click on a link it will let you if it will redirect you and where, if it has trackers in the link, you can also send the link for a quick virus scan.

Those are just the common uses, It has more features.

Can't remember the exact video. But research a bit about web fingerprinting.

Probably not enough to use an adblock. Personally https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYVU6rModlGxvJbszCclGGw this guy helped me understand internet tracking and profiling.

Not really, the benefits outweigh the consequences.

From where?

As long as the app is not open source, they can claim anything without being true.

For me it is not about supporting/agreeing with Ukraine. It is about Russia starting a war because they want to. I live a country close to the war, I don't want Russian occupation or proximity.

He still posts? He is blocked for me.

Many people use a phone and many people have youtube app on it.

Doubt, I am not saying it is worse, but not better either.

I personally believe that trusting Apple with your privacy or preferances is naive. That wasn't and will never be their focus.

Where I live they have promotions and there is no tipping culture. The price is sometimes lower then going in person.
