Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no "Editor's Picks" on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.

What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?

What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?

Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?

Alright boys

Do we still do that reddit thing here where we assume everyone is male?

for the downVoters

why defend defaultism or sexism? It may sound harmless to you, you may be used to it, but "alright boys" is exclusive and not, like some need to claim, a default greeting.

older women don't care, they're used to men being dickheads, but not being recognized hurts girls

alright girls, (that by default means you boys🤯) you can downVote this comment to hell now

Since when "boys" means only males 🫤

if boy already meant what it still does in proto-Germanic, the response would be: since at least 2500 years ago
