It should work, throw the github url for an app into obtainium and try updating. It should update and keep the settings.
If this fails, I'd say one time obtainium setup would be required. No need to get everything through obtainium (do amethyst as it updates frequently and runs ahead of fdroid a lot).
Much of stuff you'd have installed through aurora would not be open source and if it is you should use fdroid/github versions as they'd lack the Google components. Use aurora for apps that are not available elsewhere, better than sourcing apks on shady websites. Aurora pulls from Google directly so at least they are as published by devs.
Do try neo store/izzysoft repo combo for most of you fdroid installs, it'll take over updating without issues for fdroid installs.
My #newpipe app says I have an update, but #fdroid says I am up to date. The general settings on #GrapheneOS ( nostr:npub1gd3h5vg6zhcuy5a46crh32m4gjkx8xugu95wwgj2jqx55sfgxxpst7cn8c ) do not allow installation of packages dowloaded via the browser, do package managers/repositories like fdroid just lag behind a bit or what? Should I disable the browser apk install protection? I assume if the app itself prompted me then the apk probably isn't malicious...?
Also I have a few apps in #aurora (for like a week now) which currently have updates available but won't download/install, of which #Amethyst ( nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z ) is one. I think this happened once before & it eventually worked itself out, but I would love to know the cause, or if there is a solution...?

Newpipe is great btw! Many thanks to all who recommended it β€
Amethyst & Graphene also make the general #Android user experience feel like a massive step up from iOS. Nostr is better, battery life is better, security is better, etc. Genuinely happy with all software mentioned, thank you!
Fdroid reporsitory often lags with updates. Apps often itself check source (github) for latest update on startup and prompt if available - nothing fishy.
It's recommended that you use fdroid/source packages only. Can try obtainium for updating all apps at once from GitHub if you find F-droid updates slow.
Another rec: do check out the Newpipe x Sponsorblock fork ( https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/org.polymorphicshade.newpipe), it'll cut out in-vid adverts or libretube if you'd like a better UX. Izzysoft is an amazing repository for FOSS F-droid Apps.
Aurora is great when you need a google play app. Although you should switch to F-droid version of Amethyst as it doesn't have play services built-in (used for translation and notifications).
Grab the Amethyst GitHub link ( https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst) and throw it into https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium and it'll take care of all future updates.
1 more tip, F-droid client can be slow and clunky, try neo store (available on F-droid) for better UX and app discovery.

This is huge! Now watch the LLM API costs dropping even further.
These papers almost feel like cheat codes, & why closed companies like OpenAI donβt publish their important works anymore.
Mind-boggling that it is even possible.

Anyone know if Hodlinox.com guys are still in business? Don't see any posts from them on Twitter and the website doesn't seem to have any updates either?
Too little info on who's behind the project, are they trustworthy/shady?
The suddenness will cause nausea. Bitcoin god candle would be celebrated with people throwing up all around the globe. Bullish.
Those who say bitcoiners infighting doesn't look good for new people coming in, don't get Bitcoin at all.

This is the most bullish thing I've ever read. Period. I know I am crazy bat shit bullish and could consider this being global average hourly wage 50 years from now, but generational wealth is too much for me even. You might be trolling but I am serious about average wage. It's true though that no one is bullish enough considering the technical productivity gains that come. Sats will be the rarest to come by.

So good, simulates the intuitive π combo we humans are used to for years. They look like keys ποΈ too and would make much intuitive sense to general public as to how to use and secure one. Great design.
Multisig finally done right!
These are open source HW and if they come in at 10-20$ mark we may have a big winner here.
