I mean yes I use github for reference and sometimes downloading but I don't actually know a whole lot about it like push and pull requests and what not, as I haven't found a need to learn it yet. So what you're saying is to basically download apps from github instead of fdroid to ensure you get the latest?

Plus there should be some tools or scanners to look at the app for any potential dangers, like play protect, right?

So just because fdroid says an app hasn't been updated since 2020, that doesn't necessarily mean its not being maintend or is abandoned?

Thanks, I've just been doing by the apps version numbers and the last date it was updated

Yea so, just about most of the apps on the market. Pick a category and once you get through the top apps that are up to date, not far down the list the rest of the apps list their current version and they just get older as you go hence sort by new. There's more outdated apps (I mean by like years) that truly aren't far from the up to date versions

Gotcha. But what's stopping cyber criminals from seeing these abandoned repos and possibly taking over and implement malware or what not

[–] borzthewolf 1 points 1 year ago

Vep very true!

Good tips, these are exactly what I need. Like which repos do you check out; like github and gitlab?

What about yet another call blocker? Seems that involves more sensitive info obviously

Never looked into that log, I shall give it a shot

Hey I don't even own a thunderbolt cable, so I can always disable that in my bios. But I'm wondering, is there a specific log I should be looking at that would most likely give me some input? Idk which logs are for what and definitely don't know how to filter and manipulate the output to find what I'm looking for, but always willing to learn
