wow... okay... nachdem ich vorgestern und gestern stundenlang mich abgemüht habe, die F-Droid Pipeline zu durchlaufen, also alle automatischen Checks, etc. zu bestehen und die Voraussetzungen für #fdroid zu erfüllen, habe ich endlich das "review-requested" tag bekommen. Naja.... die aktuelle Liste der Apps die im Review sind und immer noch darauf warten, in den F-Droid Store aufgenommen zu werden, ist 3 Monate lang................. are you serious??? #android #androidapp #fedisuite @CafeJunkie@troet.cafe @hagentietze@social.tchncs.de

Si quieres leer manga en el smartphone o tableta de chocolate existe el software libre llamado: Futon Futon puedes obtenerlo desde F-Droid. No es solamente un lector. Puedes buscar manga desde Futon y estar leyendo segundos después. #manga #fdroid

While we wrestle with our website generation bugs, a new call for testers of #FDroid and Basic.

2.0-alpha9 released over the weekend:

  • a redesigned featured categories in Discover
  • an useful search page, with categories, keyboard control & easter-egg (touch search twice) and keywords in categories descriptions
  • more on-boarding overlays to explore
  • updated translations
  • fixes and tweaks

We need you all to test the clients on all sorts of #Android devices, the more diverse the merrier!

Anyone using signal from #fdroid here? Is it only me that get's a notification from signal: "A new version of signal is available." for days, before it updated in the guardian project? I somehow hoped it would be even faster on these alternative methods than in the public store.... (But this bugs me with obtainuim as well: why are there new versions of some apps waaaay before obtainium has them available?)

Welche F-Droid-App (bzw. quelloffene App) kennt ihr, die großartig ist, aber kaum jemand auf dem Schirm hat? Exotisch, nischig, unterschätzt – egal, Hauptsache spannend. Stellt hier eure Geheimtipps vor! 👇 /kuk #android #fdroid

@theprivacydad@social.linux.pizza That's precisely what I'm doing on my #Fairphone #FP5, running their stock OS. I previously had the degoogled /e/OS, and before that, #SailfishOS. Things work better now, with no Google apps, and even without a Google account. I use #FDroid and #Aurora stores to get apps. In some cases I have needed to use #Shizuku to forcibly disable things.

@viharm@twit.social Way too early for a definitive answer but here are a few things I noticed. @Fairphone@social.weho.st whoever put the powerbutton and fingerprint reader in this position never used the phone with the case and their left hand. It's nearly unusable and that is after less than 24h. Other than that it has been nice so far. It's great that I can just insert a 1 TB SD card and carry all my music with me. The file sharing between apps works much bettee between apps so I don't have to hope that whatever app I want to have access to my files supports WebDAV as it can just access my Nextcloud. It's nice to be able to use #Fdroid again. It's nice that the camera threats me like an adult and gives me a pro mode where I can switch to Raw. The screen is nice as well, the bezels are a bit large but it's fine. It's cool to be able to use #KDEConnect with its full feature set. Finally I can use Firefox with extensions again.

🚀 This image highlights my love for the Mastodon network! The moment you publish important information for humanity, you become inconvenient for corporations. I've already been blocked 2 times on Twitter, 2 times on X, twice on Facebook, once on a Mastodon server, and 3 times on Instagram. It all starts when I, as a Ukrainian, post about things that concern me — for example, about forced mobilization of men in Ukraine — and suddenly bots hired by the authorities flood in with mass complaints against my account. Because it's an inconvenient truth that doesn't allow them to steal more money 😅 I was also blocked during COVID when I provided evidence that humanity was being deceived. Facebook and Instagram were the first to block my accounts. Why? Because Bill Gates and others wanted to make their billions, and many people like me were silenced — everyone who asked uncomfortable questions. That's why I, as a software developer, support everything decentralized. We create our own solutions and improve existing major projects. One of our recent initiatives is to completely rewrite the Yacy search engine for our needs. This is a decentralized network that gives freedom to users. Nobody will monitor what you search for. We also support the F-Droid team, which champions the right to free and open-source software. Join us! Share this post if you stand for: ✅ Freedom of speech ✅ Freedom of action ✅ Free software ✅ Decentralization Thank you to everyone who has already joined and shared their thoughts and suggestions! #Mastodon #FreedomOfSpeech #Decentralization #FOSS #Ukraine #DigitalFreedom #OpenSource #Privacy #FDroid #Yacy

@reallyflygreg@mstdn.ca @toddalio@mstdn.ca I'm inclined to believe that it is indeed the people who don't understand technology (specifically: they think that everything works like their smart 'phone or Microsoft Windows 11 PC do) making policy; or that they did understand the technology and were just crap at drafting legislation such that it could distinguish the Microsoft Store, Google Play, the Apple App Store, et al. from #Ubuntu's package repository and #OpenBSD's ports tree. And that distinguishing criterion is not #FreeSoftware. Given the aims, the #California legislators would want #FDroid to be required to hand over #AgeVerification data to free-software apps that F-Droid allows, that themselves want to impose age restrictions (on, say, showing certain content to minors) via the route of getting the account holder's age (bracket) information from the operating system via a 'signal' from the 'store'. https://monitor.f-droid.org/anti-features #FreeBSD #NetBSD #Debian #CaliforniaLaw #USLaw

Mal eine Frage an die Nutzer hier von #fdroid Benutzt ihr den originalen #client oder einen Alternativen? Wenn Alternative, welche? Welche Repositories habt ihr eingebunden? Nur das originale? Oder noch weitere? Auf Anhieb fallen mir die Repositories con #GuardianProject und #IzzyOnDroid ein #Followerpower #fedihelp

@Walker@infosec.exchange I'm sure they have their own proprietary AI models, but compared to corporate ones they're smoking on the sidelines :) I was actually writing an article about F-Droid today and I use it too. Since I'm a developer, I've reviewed all my past mistakes and now I want to create more open source. But since I have obligations to myself and to my partners, and I'm a person who loves keeping my promises, we have projects I can't open because it would violate signed agreements. So for the future I plan to write only open source code. Happy to meet like-minded people—already subscribed, the content is great. #fdroid #opensource
