Say I have Google Camera installed with network permissions revoked. Say I also install Play Services which does have network access. Would Google Camera be able to share data about my pictures to Play Services which would then phone home to Google?

There’s gos’ camera already preinstalled, no need to download anything 🫣
They discourage fdroid because it’s not very secure, until it ever gets better
There’s the secure Accrescent, but it has almost no apps in it
(Yeah, but actually you can just use obtainium, this is probably the future)
I’d like to see some evidence that F-Droid is less secure (or privacy respecting) than using the big Gs playstore or services, which many, if not most, playstore apps depend on to function.
I mean this sincerely and respectfully. I’d love to look onto it.
Because in my current opinion and approach, if you vet your apps and practice good digital hygiene, then FOSS>GOOGL/Alphabet for nearly everything from a privacy and security perspective.
Edit: if I misunderstood and you were saying don’t use G playstore or Aurora AND don’t use F-Droid, then may I ask where are you getting your apps, other than directly from the devs page or github and so on?
All apps on Fdroid are built and signed by Fdroid devs which gives them infinite power. If you trust them completely, go ahead and use it.
