If you actually read the post, you would have known, it does work, but there are some privacy concerns with it:
“However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties.”

Just use dd. It's not that hard. You pass it 2 arguments: if= the file you want to flash, and of= the destination. If you're feeling fancy, pass in some status=progress. And don't forget to prepend it with sudo. That's it.
Not sure why we need an abstracted layer for F-Droid.
Because the default F-Droid repository has some security issues: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/
IzzyOnDroid avoids this by using prebuilt binaries that are properly signed by the actual developers, instead of building and signing apps themselves like F-Droid does
It also doesn't have as strict inclusion criteria as the default F-Droid repo, so it is able to offer more apps
According to multiple users on the GrapheneOS forum it works just fine https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/7950-does-grapheneos-work-with-google-fi/2
Don't recommend Voyager as a desktop client to new users. It just looks like a stretched mobile app, and the UX on desktop is piss poor. Just go with the default Lemmy UI, or Photon.
I hadn’t noticed the OG app had been abandoned
Last Git commit was on April 10th 2023, so it's safe to say that the repo is unmaintained
The history of UAD goes back even further. The development started on GitLab (https://gitlab.com/W1nst0n/universal-android-debloater), but that repo was abandoned on October 7th 2021.
+1 for the Universal Android Debloater, but you linked to an unmaintained version
Here's the most up-to-date fork: https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation
Sail the seven seas! 🏴☠️
You have to have luck and find a good deal. The MSRP is still at $499 (which is absolutely ridiculous).
This is the way to go
Use dd, or check out the Fedora Media Writer if you want a GUI tool.
