What's wrong with Supabase? It's open source and self hostable

[–] piyuv@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Most likely an LLM generated app then

Whars that f-droid client? :D

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

F-Droid Basic

Why, is the normal client visually different?

Here is the GitHub, however before I install it and test it I'd like to understand if AI was used, and what risks of using it are.

Oh hey lets see which apps i can swap!

these are all the apps with alternatives, some of which arent even the same type of app (mastodon instead of tiktok)🙂

It's not very accurate. Says a bunch of my Foss apps are proprietary.

[–] inari@piefed.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a new platform, a lot of apps aren't there. You can suggest an app as free or proprietary.

But you need to create account first :|

Assuming you're new to the idea: never a better time to start. 😊

[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Should be Higher (-2) because I have MicroG installed, and it misidentifies them as the proprietary GMS since they share the same app ID.

The better half.

[–] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 23 hours ago

The other half.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All of em, so like ~60 if you count the preinstalled ones that are also FOSS.

[–] pfr@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

So you either don't use a banking app or your bank is awesome and has a foss app?

Yeah no money things allowed on my phone. Browser based and on my desktop only.

I wish banks were forced to have an open API that FOSS devs could hook into.

Sad its unusable for IOS
