We have a new blog post about the Mobifree project and our role in it.

In short, it's a human-centered, ethical alternative, that champions privacy over profit and believes in collaboration, sustainability and inclusiveness.

Datensparsames Android mit der Android Debug Bridge. Teil 3: Weitere Geräte und Plattformen

Die an einem Samsung Stock-ROM beschriebenen Methoden aus den ersten beiden Teilen werden auf Google Pixel und Xiaomi Smartphones, Android TV und einen Tolino Ebook-Reader angewandt, teils mit mehr, teils mit weniger Erfolg.

F-Droid auf Android TV? Wir haben selten Personen, die darüber berichten, und würden uns über mehr Feedback freuen. V.a. dazu, wie sich unser Client selbst verhält.

Gerne auch mit der aktuellen 1.20 😉

@baipush @gnulinux Als Workaround kannst du das Repo in den Einstellungen einmal deaktivieren und dann wieder aktivieren, das stößt auch ein Update an.

Young people are waking up every day to media about war, genocides, dead children. They are unsure of being able to make a living, scared by debt, violence, addiction, homelessness. They are unsure if the burning planet will even support their lives. They are struggling for secure basic housing after having their lives upended by a pandemic...

meanwhile the NYT:

@frogzone @sun @quinn It's a gradual process, and F-Droid hosts not only the apps but also the tools to allow anyone to control their communication channels and beyond. F-Droid is the easiest step to take first.

Friendly reminder if you're an open source developer in the mobile ecosystem:

You still have time until 1st of June to apply for a grant.

This week in #FDroid was published again.

We would be happy, when some more users install 1.20 of our client for more testing before we mark it as suggested for all users.

  • Frigoligo is a new wallabag app
  • Principia is a new sandbox building game
  • Tailscale was completely rebuilt
  • Conversations and Quicksy were updated
  • ente Photos with self hosted support

@AudraTran Material theme is so 2016. But there's more than it meets the eye. Per-locale app info, mirrors, per-app repos, delta index updates. Who knows what the future holds?😋

@the100rabh we don't have the infrastructure to send out this kind of message into the client. That's why we ask here 😉.

@wolfytuga thanks for the praise 😊

Yes, every feedback counts :)

@grote any ideas?

Last week on #FDroid we've had some exciting news.

Our F-Droid client was updated to 1.20.0. This version improves the handling of repositories, and @grote wrote a dedicated blog post about that: https://f-droid.org/2024/05/16/repository-overhaul-in-client-1-20.html

TWIF:

  • Thore gave a talk about F-Droid in Zürich, which also included some metrics about the most downloaded apps.
  • news about some trading apps
  • wallabag was downgraded
  • we did a rebuild of Freedoom for arm64
  • idTech4A++ and OsmAnd~ were updated

https://f-droid.org/2024/05/16/twif.html

fdroidorg,
@fdroidorg@floss.social avatar

@amarok @grote 1.20.0 is released but not yet marked as suggested version to give us some time to react on possible bugs.

However, you should see it under versions in the details of the F-Droid app.

It should become the suggested version in one of the next index updates.

Android users, today's your day. 🎉

We've relaunched the Tailscale app, redesigned from the ground up for a better look-and-feel, faster performance, and even more features. Check it out 👇 https://tailscale.com/blog/android/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=owned-social&utm_campaign=devrel-social

@kiraso @tailscale @ironicbadger Already in the metadata, next cycle should build it. More info: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis/FAQ#how-long-does-it-take-for-my-app-to-show-up-on-website-and-client

Oh man, the new Pixelfed app keeps getting better and better!

I’m now finishing up Push Notifications support, which is the most requested feature besides share intents (which I shipped earlier tonight)

Not only is it fast, lightweight and open source, but also packed with many long overdue features like Push Notifications 😎

It’s everything you wanted, plus more ✨

@pixelfed @dansup that's great to hear! We're looking forward to it 😘

This week in (TWIF) just landed.

We've had interesting behavior with phones that did not tell the truth about their capabilities, and fun debugging armv7 / arm64 builds of SimpleX.

Also, we have 4 new apps:

  • Kitsune - for your Kitsu.io library
  • Open Biking - Bluetooth application for generating training on an indoor bike
  • Self Attendance Tracker - Attendance Tracker for students
  • mensen - App for Dresden’s canteens

when was the last sync?

fdroidorg,
@fdroidorg@floss.social avatar

@nuclearfog you probably know that builds and signing take some time and that it's a continuous process (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis/FAQ#how-long-does-it-take-for-my-app-to-show-up-on-website-and-client).

But for your question: the last index update was 4 days ago https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/commits/master?search=Update+known+apks

@Billie Any SDK is welcome, even 34.

This week in (TWIF) was published a few hours ago.

The current topics include the redesign of how to enable the archive repositories, and that it's not ideal yet.

Also, we have 3 updates:

  • Aurora Store is ready for manual update and will be the suggested version on the next index update
  • Grazer Linuxtage had to rename their application ID, so you probably have to re-install it
  • NewPipe is finally reproducible again, and 0.27.0 fixes a lot of bugs

@fdroidorg@floss.social avatar

This week in was published again :fdroid:

Our topics today:

  • Keyboards that can be used to spy on their users. But the ones in our repo don't do that.
  • BreezyWeather with Fused location support
  • a new app from the YouApps Suite
  • a LabCoat update, which took a while
  • maid for LLMs on your phone
  • Proton Pass finally available
  • and more Proton news regarding Standard Notes and SimpleLogin

Plus 13 more new apps and 153 more updates.

@Nitrovenom all our apps are open source, so the risk is really, really low. But as the xz backdoor taught us, that we can't be 100% sure.
The hopefully is for the remaining 0,0001% probability ;)

@el_haych2024 We track the EU DMA process in weeklies on https://f-droid.org/news. EU wants to open the mobile ecosystems, to empower their users. Apps will be fine in 15 and onward.

@Tejas@floss.social avatar

The current version of #Mozilla #Firefox is 125.0.2 #Librewolf is still stuck at version 124.0.1 & #MullBrowser from #FDroid is at 124.2.
Not sure, why both of them are not getting any further updates? Have they already given up? Time to switch back to vanilla #Firefox?

fdroidorg,
@fdroidorg@floss.social avatar

@Tejas we are waiting for Mozilla's help to build 125: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1891964
