It's a problem of trust. Differing signature is an indication of third party tampering. People shouldn't start to see difference in signatures as an ordinary occurrence. It should be an high alert event.

Mismatched signatures have been discouraged since day one of Android. A mismatched signature is a sign that some one other than the original publisher built this package, and the user needs to be aware that it might be malicious.

That F-Droid went with this setup with mismatched signatures was always going to make their apks look suspicious.

This is an f-droid problem. If they use the same package name, they need to use the same signature. That has been the case since long before f-droid existed.

They could just build apks with alternate package names and this wouldn't be an issue.

Now my 1000/1000 for 429 SEK (about 40$) doesn't sound as good. At least the candy is cheaper here in Sweden.

I hope her surgeon wasn't named Paolo Macchiarini.

You don't have to carry a huge amount of rocket fuel so I assume that the energy requirement would be less. But this is just a laymens guess.

It's a chat app dedicated to the Linux Mint irc channels.

It's for users and developers to discuss all things Mint in a pre-installed and configured application.

Could you use a data only USB cable and only charge when needed?

That is crazy. He really did seem knowledgeable, and apart from the upload of a sensitive image, he really did what he could.

We have well established ways to deal with secrets. Also, everyone is responsible enough to not self approve changes where they do things they are uncertain of.
