#aurorastore — Public Fediverse posts

@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.

@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.

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?

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

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:

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

Since @calyxos has resolved it's issues and has published current versions again, I've flashed my #FP4 which is running #Android 16 now and is back on OTA updates.

I've used #seedvault for the first time and I'm very impressed! This was the best set-up process on a phone I had so far. Seedvault restored nearly everything without any issues. Thank you so much!
