sanchogodinho,

@apps I really love Termux, it gives you power to run anything what the linux terminal can run on your simple android phone!

I previously ran my server from my phone only because of termux since it handled the coding language, server ports, etc.!

VIMusic - FOSS YouTube Music front-end

Many of the SimpleMobileTools: Calendar, Contacts, File Manager, and Gallery are all excellent!

For the stupid who say Protonmail or Signal and such, these are NOT on F-Droid. Your welcome.

DandyTriangle7569,

@dani @apps

I hoped that would change. Why is Proton VPN on F-Droid but none of the other Proton apps? Why no Signal? 😒

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@DandyTriangle7569

ProtonMail is available on the IzzyDroid repo.

I recommend the Droid-ify F-Droid client. It has a lot more features and more repos by default.

@dani @apps

@RL_Dane @DandyTriangle7569 @apps
I use F-Droid because I want freedom.

Those repos bring freedom-depriving apps. Same as Google Play Store.

@dani

Huh? Most of the apps on IzzyDroid are FOSS

@DandyTriangle7569 @apps

@RL_Dane @dani @DandyTriangle7569 @apps but you don't have an independent third party verifying it was actually build from source, Izzy just distributes upstream APKs

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@jr @dani @DandyTriangle7569 @apps

That I did not know.

@DandyTriangle7569 @dani @apps Signal isn't in F-Droid because they don't like, that they haven't enough control over the F-Droid build. Also it would require some work to make it usable without Play Services...

tcely,
@tcely@fosstodon.org avatar

Signal already published an APK that works without Google Play Services.

Their refusal to use @fdroidorg is silly and yet another reason to not trust the developers, for me.

@jr @DandyTriangle7569 @dani

dani,

@DandyTriangle7569 @apps
Why?

Because ProtonMail and Signal did not made their apps available on F-Droid.

It is not F-Droid fault.

The companies are free to publish their apps code on F-Droid. They choose not too (maybe because per companies have code that per don't want to be visible to the public and audited).

Per companies probably would not like the rating that F-Droid will give them (for all of us to see the dirt).

joao,

@dani @DandyTriangle7569 @apps

As far as I remember, ProtonMail is not fully open source. I wouldn't know about Signal, though.
