So they’re trading on the smt name to…do a bunch of things that are the antithesis of what was attractive about the brand to begin with?
Yep
I wonder when the Fossify Voice Recorder will be dropped
Don’t use it, the dev sold out
“simple”
Looks like a pretty simple breach of privacy to me.
(stock Android) I’ve yet to find any android call recording app that works on a device that doesn’t have permission from Google to use the built in call recording features :/
~9mo ago they all got broken by an android update and haven’t worked since.
Didn’t “simple” recently get acquired and is no longer to be trusted? Correct if wrong but isn’t Fossify the new preferred fork?
for fucks sake
Correct
Yes.
Thank you for linking an alternative. I actually like it even more than the enshittified one.

11 Reasons why our apps rock

Android damn well ought to let you lie.
This program wants my contacts? Okay, have fun spamming Blarvis Davies, e-mail TheBlarvDog@gofuckyours.elf. Camera? Random noise that looks like a lens cap. Microphone? Well make it real in this case, but if it’s a photo app, quiet pink noise.
It’s fine if the program doesn’t work, work, with fake info. Obviously if I lie to an e-mail client then I’m either typing in addresses m’self or else I’m chatting up Blarvis. Maybe not even that, if I lie about internet access, and it looks like my connection just sucks.
But any program that tries to detect real versus fake info can be nuked off the face of the store.
If we’re worried that your grandma will somehow enable those protections, but be unable to tell they’re on, we can make the fake data even more obvious. After all - the program should never make any effort to detect this kind of chicanery. It can be blatant. FakeName@check-your-settings.grandma. A camera image of light grain applied over the words “you disabled camera permissions.” Though the mic probably has to stay as a quiet hiss.
You need GOS for this, the function is called scopes combined with true separated user accounts. The shitty apps just get what I allow them.
Or you could just set the “mic” to blast some good ol’ Rick Astley.
I don’t want anything voice-controlled to misbehave. E.g. if the word “goodbye” makes it close out. These things are too stupid for context. You know the rules, and so do I.
Would be neat to have sandbox profiles for this!
Is it part of the apps that have been recently sold to a commercial company? If so, you have to uninstall it and download the “Fossify” equivalent to keep the open source version.

Dude, it was word salad.
“Simple”, they said
Greed is simple.

The site has working links to their Github repository, and the apps arrived in F-Droid.

All that post needs to be truly complete is some marquee or blink.
Man, this brought me back to ye olden days where forums were where it was at. Thanks for this. 🥲
Okay, you’ve convinced me, inline images are a bad idea.

I wanted to check out if that is true… and it is. Then I clicked on Simple Calendar > Trackers…
