Seit wann sind eBooks eigentlich teilweise mit Adobe DRM? Scheinbar kann man es auch vor dem Kauf nicht sehen ob hinten mit oder ohne DRM rausfällt.... muss ich mir wohl nen neuen Shop suchen oder die Jolly Roger hissen (auch wenn das bei Büchern IMHO etwas uncool ist)

@j_r Beschweren und Geld zurück verlangen – mit der begründung, dass Du die auf Deinem eBook Reader nicht lesen kannst. Wenn Einschränkungen (hier DRM) nicht ausgewiesen sind, kannst Du das ja vor dem Kauf nicht wissen.

Meine Bibliothek (https://ebooks.qumran.org/) kann Dir ggf. teilweise mit "Lesefutter" helfen. Aber nur mit freiem (also freie Lizenz oder vom Autori explizit zur Verfügung gestellt). Aktuelle Werke sind da recht selten…

Oof, make that 9 updates; I had to roll back one of them as Round Sync added a self-updater (thus bypassing the additional APK scans in my repo). Author is contacted and will hopefully take care soon.

PS: Good news! The app's author already responded and will implement the necessary changes. So an update for Round Sync should become available soon 🤞

@dugite_code Glad to read! And here comes the very good news: the update comes with the next sync, issue is already fixed :awesome:

According to a study by @kasnder (author of the app "Tracker Control")

"… 85% of apps
from 2017 could send data to Alphabet/Google, compared to 89% in 2020. Apps
still widely send personal data to tracking companies based in a third-party country
without an ‘adequate’ level of data protection, particularly to those in the US …"

This study received the Stefano Rodotà Award btw (see https://www.sectorplandls.nl/wordpress/uncategorized/konrad-kollnigs-research-award/) – congrats to Konrad!

Should you have noticed a short "absence" of the primary web server, that was probably the reboot…

A CVE was published to oss-sec 5 days ago and got its fixes available today (https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-2961), so it was applied immediately as the vuln would have affected some components here.

My thanks here once more goes to @obfusk for bringing it to my attention – and to my service provider who swiftly applied the updates within just minutes 🤩

Ich habe ja noch einen Vorschlag, wie die DB den organisatorischen Aufwand für die Fahrgastentschädigungen massiv senken könnte: Alle Fahrgäste bekommen umsonst eine Bahncard 25, dann sind die 25% Rückerstattung für 1-2 Stunden Verspätung schon immer pauschal ausgezahlt

at https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings you 15 updated & 0 added apps. Still this toot, as 3 of the updated apps had to change their signing keys; if you have installed one of them you'll need to uninstall & reinstall to receive updates:

  • JRPN 15C
  • JRPN 16C
  • Tabs Lite

Key change was of course properly verified with their authors help.

At https://apt.izzysoft.de/magisk 1 has been updated.

Enjoy your with the repo :awesome:

@alex @doofeohren Meine entsprechende App-Liste (https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/office_speech#group_1187) weist dazu nur 2 Apps aus: Kõnele (https://f-droid.org/packages/ee.ioc.phon.android.speak/) und Sayboard (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.elishaazaria.sayboard/). Vielleicht passt ja eine davon für Eure Bedürfnisse?

With Pessach cleanup you figure why the ingredients are listed on stuff. Because they MUST BE, not because they WANT TO.

sigh (gets the magnifier glas)

With that's the other way around. There they are listed for (see the library section for each APK at https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid). Unfortunately, no way (yet) to transport that to the Android clients…

Another patch has been applied at the to protect against what is described at https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/04/20/3

Though a full scan of the repo hasn't brought up a single affected APK, that doesn't mean any such cannot show up later – so better safe than sorry, right?

The (better known as – so I'll probably use that hashtag in the future) is used from all over the world, as this graph from GoAccess web statistics shows. Almost no country where it's not in use. I could only spot 3 small gray areas where no requests originated from.

Catima 2.29.0 is out!

This release adds support for finding barcodes in PDF files[1] and dealing with multiple barcodes. It also properly colours the status bar during usage now.

As always, it's available on , will soon be available on and will slowly roll out to other app stores.

https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android/releases/tag/v2.29.0

[1] Not sandboxed yet, help welcome in https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android/issues/1804

That said, my thanks also goes to @obfusk who helps me a lot making safer. She caught several places in need of improvements, providing patches for some of them and giving advice (and proof-reading) for those I established myself. Some of the scripts used in that area also come from her.

So when thanking me for the repo, please everyone include Sylvia and her as well. Without them it wouldn't be the place it currently is! 😍

Hugs to both of you from me 🤗

Need help: Received notice to take down @watomatic app from the play store. What can I do to fight this? I am the developer of this. Reboosts appreciated. Thank you all ❤️

IzzyOnDroid,
@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social avatar

@dsoft @watomatic Nope, unfortunately not (I do not deal with PlayStore). But I boosted for reach.

Was about to tell them they should issue a takedown request to the US senate, demanding removal of state WA – just in case Washington is also working with WhatsApp… Guess they got annoyed by the fact your app is not about SUPPORTING WhatsApp, but to make it easier to leave the place…

Are you using "WA" in the name? I thought the app is called "Watomatic"? "Water Reminder" also starts with "Wa" 🤔

IzzyOnDroid,
@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social avatar

@dsoft @watomatic Well, wouldn't their request be moot then? It doesn't even apply. You are not «using "WA" … in the name … referencing … capitalization», as they claim, and never did. Guess they rolled a campaign requesting takedown of multiple apps, sending the same text to all of them.

I'm no lawyer, but you maybe can refuse it as "does not apply". Maybe ask a lawyer for advice (thinking of FOSS orgs supporting such cases; FSF maybe?)
