  1. @3sat ich wage das Experiment schon länger. Leider werden viele im Alltag erforderliche Apps (zB Banking) nur in den kommerziellen Appstores angeboten.

    Nun will der Android-Platzhirsch den Zugang zu alternativen Appstores auf unfreien Androidgeräten sperren. Mir scheint, dass #aurorastore davon derzeit bereits betroffen ist. Heißt für mich: keine Updates mehr für die Apps aus den BigTech-Stores...

    Es ist jedenfalls bitter zu sehen, wie schwer wir uns in Deutschland tun, für uns #dutgemacht #didit reklamieren zu können. ZB #Wero? Schwierig.

    Immerhin erfreuen mich die Nachrichten aus #Hannover bzgl der Verwendung von MS365 an #Schule [0] – schade natürlich um das Lehrgeld, das nun gar nicht für Lehre zur Verfügung steht.

    Auch die Sache mit iPad-Ausschreibung in #Datteln [1] weckt Hoffnung, dass offene Systeme (#Linux!) mittelfristig in den Schulen Einzug halten.

  2. @nemo @justine Hi. Since yesterday, things are getting better with #aurorastore. I still have errors, but less, I've been able to perform 6 updates. Maybe not related, I received a #IodeOS 4 update.

  3. Wer, wie ich, in den letzten Tagen Probleme mit dem Aurora Store hatte, findet in dem folgenden Beitrag von @nemo die Lösung. Seit dem funktioniert der Store bei mir wieder.
    #AuroraStore #Android
    RE: mas.to/users/nemo/statuses/117…
  4. Dneska jsem se na #Android z #AuroraStore snažil nainstalovat detektor kabelů ve zdi.

    Z asi deseti zkoušených aplikací mi jich všech asi deset spadlo s chybou "something went wrong" kvůli chybějícímu #Google Play.

    Je tohle budoucnost, kterou jsme chtěli?

  5. So, this thing we're now doing to try to coax #AuroraStore to update install apps (refresh account, force quit, purge cache)...is this a placebo, equal in effectiveness to blowing into your N64 cartridges? Do we just *think* it works because once in a while we succeed after doing it? #AuroraStoreApocalypse

  6. Das #fediverse ist einfach Spitze!

    Da der Aurorastore auf meinem googlefreien Handy seit einiger Zeit sagt, dass der Server ausgelastet sei, habe ich hier nach dem Hashtag #aurorastore gesucht und sofort die Lösung gefunden:
    mas.to/@nemo/117205098545634178

    Die Lösung ist übrigens, eine neue Email für den anonymen Account erzeugen zu lassen, damit google Downloads wieder akzeptiert.

    Besser ist es deshalb immer, keine Apps aus dem google Store zu installieren, sondern von #fdroid

  12. Got a weird tech question, and I'm not sure which forum to post it to, so I'll put it out into the fediverse ether!

    I use #lineageOS on a #Fairphone3 and most of my apps are installed via f-droid. But some are installed via #AuroraStore, when there isn't an fdroid version.

    I'm not signed into Google play on this phone.

    Most apps just work, but there are 3 which do a weird thing, and are unusable as a result - when they start they just spin out to a Google Play sign on page.

    What's going on? And is there anything I can do about it?

    The apps are:
    play.google.com/store/apps/det

    play.google.com/store/apps/det

    play.google.com/store/apps/det (I haven't tested this one recently)
