As long as you don't mess around with the "Unsafe Features" in the settings it's very private.

DoidFS can use the camera to take photos and record video. It gets stored in the vault instead of your camera roll. This ensures that other apps never get access to the photo/video, even if they have "all-files access".

Several other apps does some version of this. If you have tried to export a photo from Signal to your camera roll, you have probably seen this before.

DroidFS does not ask for camera permission unless you try to use this feature. The app does not need the camera for anything else, so if you don't allow it to use the camera everything else still works.

It doesn't work on ARM, but Tails is based on Debian so it's probably going to run on ARM some day.

It's a nice feature for those that actively enable it and know that it's enabled, but not for the average user. Most people never change the default settings. Firefox breaking stuff by default would only decrease their market share even further. And this breaks so much stuff. Weird stuff. The average user wants a browser that "just works" and would simply just switch back to Chrome if their favourite website didn't work as expected after installing Firefox. Chrome can be used by people who don't even know what a browser is.

First of all, why?

Secondly, I absolutely love it.

I love this. It's on F-Droid

It's the reason I stopped using Stremio but it's also the reason why it remains legal in some countries. Popcorn Time had an option to enable/disable seeding on the settings. I really wish Stremio had the same.

I want to keep my ratio above 10, so I use a combination of several other things to replace Stremio on Android TV. It's a lot less polished but I get a good feeling from seeding.

The idea lives on. You can use Stremio with Torrentio.

I already used Infinity for Reddit (which Eternity is based on) so it made the migration from Reddit to Lemmy really smooth for me.

Even NEW drives from Seagate have very high failure rates. It's been like this for a long time.

I use several sources in the hopes of getting a more complete picture. I sometimes select categories like "Europe" on these sites but here are the ones I have bookmarked and use the most. I try to use mostly reliable sources.

Reuters (World)

Associated Press (World)

BBC News

Ars Technica

Der Spiegel (International)
