#Conversations
A beta version of 2.15 arrived at F-Droid. It looks great and now uses Material 3 theme. Be aware: To install this version you need to explicitly select it in F-Droid.
#monocleschat
A new minor version has been released which brings GIF import, compatible stickers and other improvements.
#Snikket
A new version has been released bringing fixes and improvements from Conversations to Snikket users.
Szukałem jednej aplikacji na #fdroid i trafiłem na takie coś. Czyżby ktoś zrobił #tinder.a open source? Używał ktoś tego?
Jako adres podają Niemcy, więc pewnie jakaś prywatności jest zachowana.
Jeśli to rzeczywiście open source, to pewnie siedzą tam same nerdy 😋, a kobiet jak na lekarstwo.
Co o tym sądzicie?

Just a heads-up that #Snikket#Android has been pulled by #Google from the store. We'll work on restoring it once we figure out their (as usual) nonsensical complaints. Apologies to everyone affected. Please look at #FDroid and free yourself.
Today's excuse for delisting yet another #XMPP app?
"Your app is uploading users' Image information without posting a privacy policy link or text within the Play Distributed App."
Ist bei jemand Aurora Store noch in Fdroid drin? Meines loggt sich nicht mehr ein und ist noch 4.4.2 - während es schon 4.4.3 gibt. Spricht was gegen das Herunterladen von den Entwicklern auf GitLab? Wird es dann zukünftig noch automatisch aktualisiert? - Wo sind eigentlich Issues auf GitLab?
Von #Fairphone gibt es jetzt True Wireless Kopfhörer. Auf der Seite finde ich für die passende App leider nur den Hinweis auf die Marktplätze von #Apple und #Google. Weiß jemand, ob die Veröffentlichung im F-Droid Store geplant ist? #FDroid#OpenSource
:fdroid: Happy #FDroidFriday! What apps have you found useful this week?
📸 A lot of people like to take #photos and share them with specific family or friends over time. If you want to do this without Big Tech in the way, check out #Circles.
It's still technically in Beta, but works great. It runs entirely over the #Matrix protocol and uses encrypted rooms to manage your sharing and commenting. You can use their homeserver, or your own existing one.
Version 1.20 of @fdroidorg brings some pretty big changes of how repositories are handled:
• official repo is always preferred
• the repo an app comes from is prominently shown
• if an app is available from more than one repo, you can choose where to get it from
• power users can change global repo priorities
Our team from @calyxos will be at @fossasia next week! If you are in the area, please drop by our booth to chat with us about #CalyxOS or projects we support for the FOSS community such as #LineageOS, #AuroraStore, #FDroid, and more.
Three years ago, #FDroid had a similar kind of attempt as the #xz#backdoor. A new contributor submitted a merge request to improve the search, which was oft requested but the maintainers hadn't found time to work on. There was also pressure from other random accounts to merge it. In the end, it became clear that it added a #SQLinjection#vuln. In this case, we managed to catch it before it was merged. Since similar tactics were used, I think its relevant now
Well, I have finally installed F-Droid on my Android mobile as I continue to move away from Big Tech. Most of the open source applications I'm using have an official version on the store! Signal seems to be the exception, so any thoughts on Element as a possible replacement please? Obviously, views on other alternatives just as welcome! #fdroid#bigtech#foss#opensource#signal#element#privacy#security
📝 Aggiungere un repository a F-Droid
Come fare per aggiungere un repository ad F-Droid per avere accesso alle applicazioni al di fuori dal repo ufficiale...
Just installed #LineageOS#MicroG on my Galaxy Tab. So far, everything works great and so much better without all the bloatware. I installed #Saber for handwritten notes and I'm happy with it as well.
Are there any #FOSS apps you'd recommend for tablets?
I like ProtonMail, but it's a shame that they provide latest app versions for Android quickly and constantly only via Google Play store – as someone who uses their Github Releases, I'm still locked in with v3.0.17 :sad_cat:
It's not to say they shouldn't, but for all their talk about being anti-Google and anti-big tech (and rightly so!), they still don't provide a libre version, and a stable APK release out of Google Play store
