Saw it in another thread, thought it might be interesting to share for people who find the Fossify one a bit basic: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.dot.gallery/

I don’t even see that permission listed. That being said, it’s a whole different permission than what I listed: “…information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected.” is different from requiring internet activity.
Comparing this app to Fossify Gallery is straight silly, because people that chose Fossify Gallery, chose it because it didn’t have all this unnecessary garbage.
That is how the location features work.
It’s not actually present in the FDroid version in any case according to the creator.
“however the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission was left over by mistake, but any actual NETWORK calls are completely disabled.” Mistake huh? That’s assuring lol.
You could ask the developer himself or check the source since it is listed on github.
As for comparison to Fossify. I didn’t make that comparison.
I don’t need to ask anything. OP posted a comparison, that really isn’t. I made a point of one big reason why. You came here with the unrelated info.
You don’t need to act so dismissive. You literally posted about the network connection info permission. Someone asked and confirmed it was a remanant of a permission.
The fdroid version doesn’t even connect to the internet according to them. This was being way too paranoid for no reason.
It doesn’t change the fact that those permissions are necessary during install. Them saying “oh, don’t worry about that, it was a mistake” is laughable.
This wasn’t too paranoid for no reason, if you read what Fossify and their mission is about.
