       @apps Fuck play protect! This piece of google crap does nothing except bothering people. This thing offers no protection of any kind. That's only an bullshit.

       @apps To be fair, actual malware will probably throw up that same warning. So I'm super glad they de-emphasize the "install anyways" button. I like being able to install whatever I want, but I don't want my grandma to discover an install button and accidentally install actual malware. But it is irritating that F-Droid trips that warning. Are the "privacy protections" something that could be implemented, or is that Google speak for "user data collection" or something gross?

       @appsThis is just because regular @fdroidorg does not target recent SDK levels (like malware does). Already fixed for basic and soon in regular F-Droid.

       @apps I just got a friend to install f-droid for NewPipe, (the person she's bumming YouTube+ off of is cancelling it and the commercials are too much now,) and she had to ask me about that popup.Thankfully I'm more adventurous. :PIf/when I ever come out as trans, (as I am VERY trans on here,) to her I'll invite her to Mastodon and get her to use Fedilab. :P

       @apps You never turned play protect off? I usually nix it within 5 minutes of obtaining a device.

       @grote @apps @fdroidorg there is nothing wrong to target older API (because old devices exist and by limiting the API set, the behaviour is much more predictable).It's just Google doing Google things.

       @apps a lot of good points in this thread tbh. I don't think its a horrible thing to warn end users. Someone who wants to use fdroid will know what to do here.

       @appsAs much as I hate to do it, to defend Google, FDroid puts out an app meant for older devices which then auto updates itself after install. That warning shown isn't inherently warning you it is malicious, just that it's an old app that the OS may need to negate security features to run properly.

       @apps That's so very cursed. Not presenting "install anyway" and "go back" as equal options is a dark pattern
