I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it's live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the "Data Safety" section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.


Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that's through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

It's an amazing app, very clean and fast.

Whoever comes out first with Moderator options will get my money. Hopefully it's by donation to the developer instead of a app subscription.

Here we are, with rabid FOSS fanboys complaining about tracking in an Android app. Probably posting these angry threads from their Samsungs, loaded down with baked in spyware and adware, and acting superior cause they fiddled around on DuckDuckGo long enough to figure out how to install F-Droid and think now they're elite hackers in total control of their device and data.

If you're running a stock ROM, you've already given all your data away to the manufacturer and Google, at the very least. So don't come on Lemmy bitching about tracking, when half of you wouldn't know what privacy was if I beat you to death with it.

You exquisite knobs. You absolute baffoons.

Posted from my LineageOS phone, no gapps, microG, only foss apps.

I hope you felt good and happy writing your comment, unlike the rabid, angry, superior acting, elite hacker, bitches, knobs, baffoons FOSS fanboys.

"Oh, no! It's collects data!" - say people who use search engines, smartphones, navigations, personal AI assistants and social networks created by big tech companies to trade in user data.
