Many programs are in 3rd party fdroid repos, you can literally create a fdroid repo for Gmail and Gemini, you just upload apks to the server and run an indexer.
Being included in f-droid.org means the app had to meet some basic standards with regard to privacy. Being included in a 3rd party repo means that someone has uploaded it. And it's a case with the Guardian-distributed Signal, AFAIK it's the original version.
OP meant Signal not making any effort to be included in the f-droid.org repo, not Guardian not making effort to upload the apk from signal.org
The Briar client is missing simple features on Android and essential features on desktop (you can't copy messages for example). It's a nice protocol though.
Yeah, a national bank will for sure do it in a transparent, nondiscriminatory way /s
You'll be able to only use it using a closed app requiring google play services, safety net and with an account linked to your identity. Which means that either all your transactions are public and undeniably linked to you, or the blockchain is not transparent and open to manipulation.

And it's not a thing you do one time, most of these gadgets need re-pairing every sone time for whatever reason.
Other parts of your system very likely require the apt ffmpeg. Keep it, or at least note the packages that apt wants to uninstall because they depend on ffmpeg
I don't think there's a simple toggle for that, I pasted your question into chatgpt and it gave a very reasonable bash script + systemd service for monitoring that. I'm not going to paste ai slop here though.
The baltic pipe, the sea cables, the train stop in poland are the bigger ones but smaller acts of sabotage where the perpetrator has been found to be working for Russia are common. Last month some Colombian dude lit two warehouses on fire and has been found to be working for Russian intelligence.
It may be just government propaganda or it may be real, we'll never know, but it's the agenda pushed to the media.
More than one European prime minister spoke loudly about a coming war. Whether they mean it or it's an excuse to do fascist stuff is another topic. There's also the Russian sabotage going on.
