When ZipoApps adds advertisements and telemetry to a future version of the Simple Mobile Tools apps, will my Google-Play-installed apps be automatically updated to the newer version with ads and telemetry? I don't want ZipoApps to get any of my data.

I have a "Digipass GO 6" hardware token generator that is issued by my bank. Is there a way to import the token generator into an open source authenticator app such as Aegis Authenticator?

I suspect that Digipass uses a proprietary TOTP algorithm, but I am hoping that there is an open source software solution.

People like giving recommendations like Super Tux Kart that haven’t aged well and don’t play well.

What's the issue with SuperTuxKart? I thought that it was great fun when I played it.

LocalSend is not exactly an alternative to AirDrop. In LocalSend, two devices must be connected to the same LAN to share files with each other. In AirDrop, no LAN connection is necessary. Files are transferred directly between devices, similar to Bluetooth file sharing between devices.

Using git it’s probably the most easy and lightweight method to VC plain text ...

Really? I am currently using RCS for my simpler version control needs, and Git for larger and collaborative projects.

Are there any open source apps that can version control text files in Android? I don't necessarily need something with lots of features like Git. Even something similar to RCS would be sufficient for me.

I'm buying a Cat 6 cable. I have two available choices. One has fire rating "CM", and the other has Euroclass rating "Eca". Which one is more fire resistant? I was not able to find an equivalence table. Is "CM" comparable to "Eca"?

What is meant by “non-free network service” in this context?

Geometric Weather gets its weather data from AccuWeather and OpenWeatherMap, which are not open source weather APIs. In contrast, omWeather gets its weather data from Open-Meteo, which is open source.

According to F-Droid:

Anti-Features

This app has features you may not like.

This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service

Why would I use this "Geometric Weather" on Android instead of a completely free weather app such as omWeather?
