Help needed: are there any graphic designers who could help create matching #FDroid category images for missing categories? My "quick hack" doesn't really fit: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/13059

Thanks in advance!

PS: if the same could be done for the additional categories in the #IzzySoftRepo that would be great :awesome:

#callingOut to my fellow fedizens:

Does anyone know where to find some decent, usefule SVG title screens for video creation? For the "intro screen"?

Ideally public domain, but must allow for use with publicly shared videos. And I don't want a © mark on the opening picture, obviously.

To give you an idea of the intended use, here's the link to my travel channel https://libre.video/video-channels/travel_izzy and my scuba channel https://libre.video/video-channels/scuba_izzy New videos in the make for the former currently…

We've been told Google Play transparently shows what data is collected etc, right? And whether an app has Ads? Well, dream on. I've just checked an app to see if it would fit my repo. Below is what Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.isaakhanimann.journal) says about it (no "Ads" marker), then the results from my library scanner.

Careful what you believe and whom you trust.

#Android #apps #Google #GooglePlay

For the very same app: Results by my library scanner, showing the app contains libraries of 2 Analytics frameworks (Crashlytics, Firebase Analytics) plus Google Ads. This must mean that Google is no "third party" and doesn't collect any data. And the pope is muslim I guess, or so.

Children are told very early:

"Don't trust the sugar-daddies. They seem so nice – but that ends as soon as they got you into their car. By that time you're in trouble. And to get out, you must promise them an NDA."

So when the sugar-daddy comes: say "No" and walk away… for your own safety.

Das erste Beispiel damals (2018) war: oops. Spiegel. Zitat:

"Die überwiegende Mehrheit dieser Ressourcen steht in keinem direkten Zusammenhang mit den Informationen, die ein Besucher auf der Webseite eigentlich erwartet. Insbesondere die nachgeladenen JavaScripte werden fast ausschließlich zu Überwachungszwecken bzw. User-Tracking eingesetzt…"

Jemand als Selbstabholer Interesse an einem IKEA Billy Eckregal in Buche (topp Zustand, siehe Foto)? Steht hier in München im Weg und würde sich freuen, wenn es jemand abholt. Wenn es Euch dazu noch etwas Wert ist, freut sich der derzeitige Besitzer über was-auch-immer das ist¹ :awesome:

So it looks like @protonprivacy made their Proton Mail app proprietary – or do I miss something? On the PlayStore there's a v4.0.6, while the Github repo at https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail-android didn't see any commit since last October, and has v3.0.17 as latest release.

I hope I'm wrong here and just missed a note that you moved the repo to e.g. Codeberg or so?

Liebe #DB, das als "nachhaltig" zu verkaufen nennt man "Greenwashing" – und dass ohne Eure #Tracking App dann nichts mehr geht "Digital-Zwang". In Eurer Nachhaltigkeits-Rechnung fehlt der zusätzliche Energieverbrauch durch App & Tracking. Und in der Gesamtrechnung … der Mensch, der nicht getrackt werden will.
