For some unknown reason my @fosstodon account stopped working on #Fedilab, I tried logging out of the app but now I can't log back in, when I select the fosstodon instance on Fedilab and hit continue it doesn't open up the login page like it should. I even tried reinstalling the app from #Fdroid but the issue persists.
@kev@mike did you guys make any changes to the server these past few days? @apps do you have any idea what might be causing the issue here? 🤔
Falls jemand eine #opensource#Alternative zu #googlemaps sucht dem die Basisfunktionen reichen (ich will mit verschiedenen Verkehrsmitteln von A nach B) kann ich Organic Maps empfehlen. Nutzt die Karten von OSM und ist auch im #fdroid Store verfügbar: https://f-droid.org/packages/app.organicmaps/ habe die App heute vom Siegerland nach Rheinhessen mit dem Auto und innerhalb von Rheinhessen mit dem Fahrrad getestet. Funktioniert sehr gut. #Navigation
Haben die Lack gesoffen!? 15 Euro pro Woche!? Um einfach irgendwelche Kundenkarten (IKEA, ADAC, etc) abzuspeichern. Wer zahlt denn bitte 60 Euro und mehr im Monat für sowas?
If you like to test new features before others don't forget to become a beta tester. #FDroid : https://fdroid.fedilab.app/
Google: Just join the beta channel from the app description.
So #Mastodon isn't that complicated at all, the only thing that doesn't work is that the official phone app on #LineageOS from #fdroid probably would need installed google-apps... Which ain't gonna happen.
Well, can't have everything.
#Tusky seems to be functional enough for light use on the phone.
Someone I peripherally know tries to look for an app on #FDroid (per my recommendation).
The screen is staying blank and they get no search results.
After basic troubleshooting they give up and I feel a bit dumb for having suggested the #FOSS route.
We've updated our monthly overview of F-Droid apps published with Reproducible Builds again: 21 new RB apps were added in June, making 145 RB apps in total.
Tipp Nr.6: Vermeide das Herunterladen von Apps oder Software aus unsicheren Quellen. Nutze nur vertrauenswürdige Quellen wie offizielle App-Stores. Auf #Android kann man auch bedenkenlos den F-Droid-Store nutzen. Fortgeschrittene können unter Android auch die Websites der Entwickler als Quelle nehmen. Bedenke aber immer: Egal aus welcher Quelle man etwas installiert - prüfe zuvor, ob du die App wirklich benötigst bzw. genau hinschauen, was man sich da eigentlich installiert.
@protonmail I don't have any Google services etc on my #LineageOS phone. I'm comfortable installing the apk you make available, but I don't see a way of tracking updated versions - I.e RSS feed of Github. For now I think using the web app via browser might be best. Hopefully down the line Calendar/drive etc can be available on #fdroid
I would love to start developing for smartphones, creating a proper #emacs client totally reimagined for the smartphone is long overdue and a project I could really sink my teeth into. You know the popup keyboard on your phone? You think Steve Jobs invented that? No he didnt, Richard Stallman did, it's called a minibuffer. Emacs was doing all this stuff in the 80s, and way better, even.
But I can't help but hate all the frameworks surrounding mobile development, ie React Native, Swift, Flutter etc, but also from my experience as a user, the apps I've tried that were made with alternative #fp frameworks like #LambdaNative, which had to downsample and skew the resolution to fit my phone's screen, so it didn't seem to even feature responsive design; maybe ok for the hospital software they designed it for but not something for creating applications that the people will use out of their own volition.
I'm pessimistic that "there is no alternative" but seeing how nicely #FDroid is coming along, I'm hoping that I may be wrong. Is there anything promising out there in the #mobile#gui#foss space?
#neuhier Huhu an die alten Hasen hier. Welche (kostenfreien) Apps empfiehlt ihr für Mastodon? Ich teste gerade Tusky was mir schonmal deutlich besser gefällt. Aber gibt's noch andere die ich mir anschauen sollte? Danke schonmal :)
"'The threadiverse', aka #fediverse group servers like #guppe, #lemmy and #kbin are all based on the premise that each community is hosted on one instance, but users and posts can come from all over. So it's like any normal #phpBB-style forum, except you use your own user instead of having to register and check everywhere.
Makes sense to me, and I'm not saying that they should do it any other way, but this is exactly how mailing lists work."
@Sandra
after reading your post I looked around for a android mail client that treats your mailbox like a BBS or microblog, and while I didnt find that I did find #DeltaChat on #FDroid which treats your mailbox like a group chat, and so far its been pretty nice as it allows you to navigate threads a bit easier than the usual phone mail client. But I think if I had my mail in a microblog fashion, where the inbox is like your timeline, and you could jump between "topic timelines" for your various mailing list directories, that would be so much nicer than anything currently available for phones. @lispi314
The #Lemmy client #Memmy still lacks #Android builds because the goal is to get in the Play Store right away but I don't think that's the best approach. I opened a issue (enhancement) on Github to hopefully motivate the dev to make his own F-Droid repo or work with the #FDroid team or IzzyOnAndroid to deliver updates fast enough. If one of you has experience with F-Droid repos please check the issue and add your thoughts and knowledge because I dont! https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy/issues/318
