    I don’t update apps until they break. Never know when an update is going to enshittify an app. (Fing, etc.)

      I always update my apps. If an app gets shitty, I change the app cause the problem is not on the app, it’s on the owners philosophy and this is what I wanna get rid of.

      I don’t use most of Google apps and stock’s bloatware , so I don’t update it too For other apps , it depends on the update itself , if it brings good new things and bug fixes I update , otherwise I mostly ignore until the next update

      Anyone have a Fing replacement from the likes of fdroid/neostore or otherwise that says fuck you to the new “requirement” that Fing is claiming hampered their app?

      This is a valid recommendation (might not apply to all apps, such as bank or password apps) also because bugs can happen… But man I just hate seeing I have pending updates haha.

      Unless it’s some really obscure app it should be on APK mirror or a similar site, no?

      That way you can update your stuff (generally a good idea if it connects to a network) and if something is ruined you can downgrade back to an older APK pretty easily
