#Holos will be available on #FDroid soon, and we hope to get more feedback to improve the project. While #Fedilab uses server APIs, here we can do much more to improve your #Fediverse experience with an #ActivityPub server running directly on your device. We already introduced E2EE DMs and personal identity. We will go further with automatic deletion, even at posting level. You decide the availability of a message. We will also work on interaction controls from #GoToSocial.

/e/OS here. My little selfish subject of worrying is whether app creators will keep updating an #Fdroid version in the future.

The #MikroTik TikApp is now also available on #FDroid via our own repo:

The #FDroid website has a new banner on top to remind visitors that #Google did not change course and #Android will be locked-down in under 200 days.

If you care about the freedom to control your devices and care about the privacy of you data, please contact your representative and make your voice heard.

keepandroidopen.org/ (thanks @marcprux) has the resources to guide you.

We know users will rarely visit the site so the Client(s) will get a banner soon too.

Thank you for your support!

I want a #pomodoro thing but that has a bunch of tasks, so I click "arrangements" and spend 25 minutes working on arranging music and then take a 5 minute break and then click "theory" and spend an hour reading. So each task has a set duration.

Surely #fdroid has something like this?

#Holos rc-2 is ready to be published on #FDroid. It should now be available within days. We will continue to provide our package through our custom F-Droid repo and our direct download link.

Close to three hours of build time, but #Holos finally built successfully on #FDroid. We're getting closer!

vielen Dank!
Das mit den Suchwörtern in der Antenne hatte ich ausprobiert, die Resultate werden mir aber nirgends angezeigt.

Irgendwas muss ich falsch gemacht haben. Wie kann ich mir die Antenne denn als extra Spalte anzeigen lassen?

Eigentlich schade, dass Sharkey nicht so verbreitet ist. Bis jetzt finde ich es sehr vielseitig. Es fehlen nur Erklärungen zu den ganzen Features. #fedihelp #sharkey #neuhier #fdroid #f-droid #Antennen #Misskey

The client smart push feature will work in the f-droid version of your app, too, right? You probably implemented #UnifiedPush for that, right? 🫠

I'm missing the "I don't want #web3 crypto in my FOSS repository" option

#FDroid prides itself with all the measures it takes not only to host great privacy respecting apps but also having a great client that's under the user control. The whole software ecosystem is built to be #decentralized, with multiple clients, repos and mirrors. This means we don't have visibility into how users chose to connect to our servers, be it directly, via a proxy, via Tor or some VPN.

#IPFS adds up on top of these, and we'd like to know: How do you feel about IPFS in F-Droid Client?

• Using it daily, love it! (6%, 54 votes)
• Tested it once, worked iirc (4%, 39 votes)
• Never had an use for it (22%, 179 votes)
• What is IPFS again? (65%, 516 votes)

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live on a Monday:

* post #FOSDEM reactions
* #FMD on the edge
* #Fossify Calendar fix
* #HarmonyMusic stopped development
* #LocalSend share via #CVE
* #Anki has a new owner
+ one new app
& 209 updates

#Fedilab 3.36.1 has been published. Full release notes at codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/rel…

For #FDroid users, please wait a few days if you don't use our custom repo.

#Google missbraucht seine Marktmacht als Gatekeeper über den #PlayStore, um konkurrierende Apps in ihrer Funktionalität einzuschränken.

Beispiel #NextcloudApp: Google erlaubte plötzlich nur noch Synchronisation von Fotos und Videos, aus "Sicherheitsbedenken" - Google-Apps durften hingegen weiterhin alle Dateien synchronisieren:
nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-a…

Empfehlung: Android-Apps wo möglich aus #FDroid statt PlayStore beziehen - keine Einschränkungen und oft hochqualitativere Apps.

Hallo Sharkeys,

ich blicke hier noch nicht so ganz durch.
Wofür genau sind denn Antennen nützlich?
Ich habe jetzt so viele Einstellungen durchsucht und werde nur sehr langsam schlauer.
Wie kann ich Hashtags abonnieren?

Und könnt ihr mir eine App aus dem F-Droid Store für Sharkey empfehlen?

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe! Bis jetzt bin ich übrigens sehr begeistert von Sharkey.

Galerie 4.0.2 aus FDroid auf Android 14 (Motorola Moto G53 5G) will seit einer Weile nicht mehr aufgehen. Ich komme nur bis zum Übersichts-Bildschirm, welche Rechte die App hat bzw. will, aber auf „Los geht's“ reagiert nichts. Nur „Abbrechen“ geht – und führt zum Beenden der App.

Ich würd die App schon ganz gerne weiter nutzen können. Jemand 'ne Idee? Oder ist das mal wieder nur bei mir so? 🤓

@oldperl what about F-Droid? It is in the main repository. If you don't want to wait, use Fedilab's own repository: fdroid.fedilab.app/repo?finger…

I have no google stuff. So what about #fdroidstore ?

Great that Boost and Quote are separate buttons now. Thanks. What I also would wish for, cross-quoting as it is possible for boosting. Will open an issue.

Today, on Digital Independence Day, the new monocles chat update has finally been released on F-Droid ( f-droid.org/ ) 🎉 . Try it out for free and use the sovereign and independent XMPP between different messengers.
The Playstore update will follow as soon as possible!

Im Prinzip hatte ich beide Sachen schon vor Jahren so eingestellt 😊

Hier habe ich mich aber gefragt, welchen Browser ich auf Android statt Firefox mit uBlock installieren sollte. Denn ich benutze nur #fdroid und habe kein Google Konto.

Nova Launcher hat jetzt zwar mehr tracker, war aber nie ohne, s. reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/….
Dass jetzt hier jemand sagt: "der war aber so gut", ist kein gutes Zeichen...

Empfehlung: #fdroid @fdroidorg / #izzyondroid @IzzyOnDroid first!
⏩ Schaut zuerst, ob Ihr da eine für Euch brauchbare App findet. Falls nein:
⏩ Schaut dann erst bei #aurora @aurorastoreorg, achtet aber auf die tracker und Berechtigungen.

#Launcher, #Tastatur und andere System-Apps sollten auf jeden Fall clean sein (und selbstverständlich alle anderen Apps möglichst auch)!
Google lässt Euch mit dem PlayStore im Dunkeln.

Hace años que no usaba /e/OS y a mejorado bastante. La tienda de aplicaciones ahora es un fork de Aurora store. Y permite instalar tambien desde repositorios F-droid.

Es bastante amigable con el usuario. Si tienes oportunidad de usarlo lo recomiendo bastante. Aqui puedes ver la lista de dispositivos compatibles:

Recently flashed a Pixel 7 with e/OS and installed HA companion app. Soon realized lots of automations weren't working. Digged into logs and found out my phone location was always unknown. Digged a bit more and realised the F-droid version of the app was missing the geo location sensor.
What's the point of removing crucial parts of an app like HA? I really don't get it.. Installed the same app from Aurora store and all it's back up running.
