Yeah. Basically it builds and then sign the app with their own keys, not the developer's. The problem people has with this approach is that if F-Droid suffers an hacking attempt, the attackers could mess with the apps.

The team behind F-Droid is already trying to fix that with reproducible builds. It means that an APK downloaded through F-Droid could be compared to a GitHub release, for example, and they would have the same key.

I have an old i3 3240 PC and it runs Fedora 39 just fine. Maybe it's a problem with the distro you use?

You don't need to use that extension anymore, Total Cookie Protection already does the job and is enabled by default on Firefox and Firefox Mobile. Could be useful if you use more than one account, tho.

They've been, but it's a very buggy feature.

Or you could use some app like InnerTune and listen to YouTube Music content without ads.

That's the Signal Protocol. RCS is Google's attempt to replace SMS/MMS

The only RCS implementation that has E2EE is Google Messages (well, pretty much the only one available, but anyways), RCS as a protocol doesn't have it by default, right?

Well, that’s kind of concerning for iMessage users. Will they completely lose SMS and MMS support? What about when the iMessage or RCS servers are unreachable?

It's pretty confusing, but I don't think so. Read the last bit: "when available". SMS and MMS will be available, but RCS will take priority over them when available.

Does this mean they may not actually roll this feature out, or may yank it if they win their appeal?

Nop, it's the sideloading thing.
