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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm using Fing 10.3.0 - a version before it was enshittified. Not sure where I got the apk from.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

You should. I always keep mine updated.

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
