Thanks for asking! Dying is the solution for everything. It’s the best solution. Humans must die for a variety of reasons.

Ooops, sorry, my bad!

You don’t have to do it! :)

One of the original maintainers of Simple Mobile Tools forked the project and he’s adding new features and fixing bugs.

The project is called Fossify and you can already download the apps from both Play store and F-Droid

But then you won’t be able to receive phone calls from other numbers while the phone engages in the fake conversation

Damn this sucks. What are they thinking? It’s a horrible way to manage a text input

It’s still taking to iMessage directly, but now you need an Apple account, your iMessage account won’t be associated with a phone number.

They also have a different app called Beeper Cloud that uses a relay Mac somewhere in a data center.

Here you go: https://github.com/FossifyOrg

Oohh thanks! TIL. Now I wonder if I need Samsung Health to be always on, to be honest…

Thanks! I edited the link in OP.

There’s a new maintainer, search for FossifyX on GitHub. They plan to keep supporting the open-source versions of all the Simple Mobile Tools apps.

I completely agree.

Another recent example has been the developer tool Insomnia. It went from open and free to riddled with trackers and paid-only features.

Luckily an open source fork, called Insomnium, has been created.

That’s an interesting question. For now, the apps on F-Droid are still safe, but we have to see.

The new owner could decide to pull them out of the store.

Pro-tip: download the apk from F-Droid. Link here: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.simplemobiletools.gallery.pro/

It’s easy when you force it down the throat of all users. I’d like to see the numbers if it was opt-in instead of opt-out…

What a mess. And then they wonder why people are afraid of installing updates

Good luck finding your banking app there.

Thanks, I hate it.

Fuck Google, just stick to the standards.

They’re doing the same thing Apple does with iMessage and Google complains about

Have you tried Simple Gallery Pro? It’s free on F-Droid

I thought the devs of NewPipe didn’t support Sponsorblock

The fact that as soon as the UK left the EU carriers removed the free roaming shows the importance of government regulations

Voyager is open source :) you can find the source on GitHub

Voyager already has an option to have a list instead of cards :)

Settings > Appearance > Post size.

I agree, Voyager works so well it doesn’t even feel like a webapp.

It’s probably the best webapp I’ve ever tried

I tried it, but doesn’t it feel a bit unpolished to you?

I’m using Voyager and even though it’s a web app, it feels so great.
