Seems you probably still do a lot of things you shouldn’t, and then openly boast unprompted as a badge of honor as if anyone cares, huh?

Oh cool, so just a pain in the ass then.
And they all interrupt the “in flight entertainment” to read a VERY long and slowly delivered advertisement for their proprietary credit card (and in flight entertainment that you have to supply device for, so you end up with smaller screen, unstable connection, battery drain and watched at a painful viewing angle typically)

KIIS launcher and some others floating, I think Pear launcher maybe for some? Different FOSS options that are decent
Cool whataboutism, bro…
Yes, both are problems, dipshit.
Meaningfully, Google is under a much larger microscope and with an aggressive FTC. Nova is smaller relatively and that has its own under the radar dangers
Honest question: What makes you think you are qualified to know if they’ve “done anything”? Nova was bought by an analytics(data) company, the danger wasn’t in them aesthetically changing nova or its core functionality, the danger was in them keeping you thinking nothing has changed but aggressively/unethically selling all the data about you so others can exploit and manipulate you.
Simple example is, making a predictive model of when you’re most likely sad based on context clues and general device usage and then kleenex buys that data, in aggregate. They then use it to predict when they can raise the price of tissues for surge pricing in your area when you’re most vulnerable and least price sensitive. This is a slightly silly example work “big Kleenex” as the bad guy, but hopefully you get the idea.
Add to it if you use any of nova middle layer services (e.g. A nova search widget instead of browser search, sesame shortcuts, etc). That’s all increased fidelity they get on a data profile of who you are at any given time so that they can sell it to others to target and harass you. That is what the new nova is, quietly. You won’t get a knock on your door to ask you if you approve, it has just happened already.
More hypothetical examples:
We detect increasing frequency of you launching the travelocity app, means you’re getting more desperate to book, prices go up on your app, increasing more and more between today and the departure date you’ve been searching.
You downloaded two pregnancy tracker apps in a week, means that several companies can now invest in spamming you with predatory social and direct mail advertising and you’re employer can consider finding alternative cause to fire you to not absorb the upcoming costs of delivery/care and parental leave.
You not having any Christian/bible material or apps on your phone means there’s a high percentage that you aren’t a practicing Christian (or conversely, you having a Quran app downloaded). Your house gets a big red X on a map for an app funded by dark money Christo-fascist, Christian nationalists quietly creating a directory of “good” people and “bad” people that your neighbors with red hats and flags on their raised trucks can eventually download and access freely to “keep an eye out”.
That last one is NUTS! You’re crazy! That’s ridiculous! and then…
Brave sucks and the people behind brave suck.
Stop expecting anything valuable from the “crypto” browser
Don’t use Nova, didn’t you hear?
I wish i knew what “HAProxy handling TLS offload” meant.
Do you see a toilet or a diaper when you look at that “U”?
They are now trying to standardize reference to “review bombing” to try to frame it some nefarious and coordinated “campaign” instead of what it is… A bunch of actual people pissed off at your recent bullshit and responding in real time to express that disappointment and frustration.
Direct consequences of your actions.
You got me excited at first, but this is NOT “just like” Google podcasts. This looks like a fork of antennapod, which is fine, but not just like Google podcasts.
I was using play store version I believe
Yes, you can.
Long press on an icon (dock or homescreen) and you have option to then assign “swipe up” to a separate action.
All my dock icons have secondary actions assigned this way.
Why is anything in the world the way it is?
Who knows where thoughts come from? They just appear… Yeah.
Appreciate it, thank you
You need to work on how you ask for things… This isn’t my product and I don’t work for you.
I don’t know if this is news to you, but the “then” on the end of your statement has some sharp edges on it and represents you as entitled (making you aware if that wasn’t your intention)
A little more grace goes a long way when you’re asking strangers for help on the internet, friend.
Has someone capable actually opened the APK to confirm it’s “safe” though. Would love to see a post where someone breaks down for lay people, if it exists
