Has anyone here tried Replicant? Can you load proprietary apps (ex. Instagram) to it if needed?
>>
>>55052255
I would assume it's possible (just sideload the apk) but it would defeat the purpose obviously
>>
>>55052270
I understand... My goal is to be able to use social media apps (for promotional purposes) while staying as FOSS as possible. Sounds contradictory, I know.
>>
>>55052285
If you need to use instagram and shit like that just use the website, not the app
>>
>>55052291
The thing is Instagram mostly works only through the app. I'm not familiar with ways to post to it otherwise.
>>
>>55052301
What? It's a website, isn't it?
>>
>>55052314
Yeah, but you can only view and not post through the actual URL.
>>
>>55052314
you can only post using the official app for ios, android and windows phone. there is no other way. the website is to view the content only
>>
>>55052338
Do you think there's a way to load the Android app onto Replicant?
>>
>>55052329
>>55052338
Uh, what the hell? So they don't let people using desktop/laptops post on instagram?
>>
>>55052352
i'm not familiar with android, was just answering anon'a question. it's an apk tho right? so just try to see if it works
>>
>>55052360
nope. also no third party app or anything. snapchat is like that too i believe. i think the reasoning is to prevent a lot of automated posting and spams
>>
>>55052397
Well, that's fucking retarded.
>>
>>55052513
doesn't seem to be stopping them from becoming the fastest growing and biggest social networks
