You and your 692 partners can fuck off
- That's wild! 692 "partners", I wonder if anyone even sees the irony of that message.
  
  HIV is a bit more real than irony
- This is the highest I’ve ever seen. Also on a gaming news website.
- Now that it's owned by IGN expect it to become even worse.
  
  I used to use aptoide for piracy many years ago. I guess that's not a thing anymore?
- A DNS blocker like pihole, nextdns, adguard etc might help with that.
  
  I'd suggest uBlock Origin but then they're running iOS.
- Fuck these MFs..
- I'm very subrised ublock doesn't solve these and cookie popups
  
  iPhone have content blockers but those are paid applications. Mullvad (the paid VPN) has a custom DNS to filter that kind of shit (ads, trackers, gambling, social media, etc.) and it's so effective that I can't read Facebook or Twitter anymore. Or you have custom DNS like https://quad9.net/ but I'm not sure if they do block ads.
  
  Not on an iPhone it cant

Those apple suck ups will never know how good fdroid is .

Unless of course fdroid goes ahead and starts supporting iOS which I doubt they would .
- No way.
- Fdroid isn't actually good. It sucks. What's good is the apps you get.
  
  Idk what your own about but I disagree and I'm pretty sure 99.99 people who uses/knows about fdroid would agree with me .
that's a name I haven't heard for a while, not since their data breach.
Aptoide sucks.
- Does it? Have you tried it?
  
  Yes, on Android. From my own investigations, it appears to have a really bad malware problem despite it's claims of scanning for malware, especially for the free distributions of paid apps from the Google Play Store, which constitutes piracy and copyright infringement raising ethical issues.

This once again shows how the EU is toothless. making laws just for a show while allowing big tech to circumvent them while waving a big fat finger to the EU's face.
