I’ve come to realize that a lot of foss android apps are pretty outdated and usually abandoned. Is that even safe to use? Like even the fdroid archive repository, are those safe to use? I’m still rather new to the foss world, but in my mind it seems a very outdated app is probably not safe or am I missing something here?
Gotcha. But what’s stopping cyber criminals from seeing these abandoned repos and possibly taking over and implement malware or what not
Have you ever used Github? People can’t just push code to the main repo.
And all submissions to F-Droid are checked for this kind of thing.
