So if you download your purchased audio books from Audible and convert them to mp3, what app do you then use to listen to them, so that you can bookmark where you were and maybe put a sleep timer on? #FDroid #audiobooks

#Fedilab and #HolosSocial allow using the offline translator for #Android, and the app is available on #FDroid.
I would like to encourage every F-Droid user to use it and enable it in Fedilab.

https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.davidv.translator/

I will improve both apps to capture the translation and go back, because their app allows it.

⚠️ De EFF waarschuwt dat Googles ontwikkelaarsverificatie "een weg naar censuur" creëert. Ontwikkelaars in restrictieve landen, anonieme open-source bijdragers en onderhouders van privacytools behoren tot de zwaarst getroffenen.

Wat zijn 'restrictieve landen'?

Kort gezegd: landen met zware internetcensuur, waar de overheid streng controleert wat je online mag zien, zeggen en maken.

Juist in die landen — en in opkomende economieën — lopen app-makers nu gevaar. Europa wilde met nieuwe regels de macht van Big Tech breken, maar Google reageert met verstikkende identificatie-eisen voor ontwikkelaars.

De ironie is pijnlijk: regels tégen Big Tech raken nu juist de kleine, onafhankelijke softwaremakers. Knappe koppen die met minimale middelen prachtige vrije software schrijven, worden buitengesloten door westerse bureaucratie. Dit is een directe aanval op de FOSS-gemeenschap en vrije alternatieven zoals F-Droid.

Google is groot geworden dankzij deze wereldwijde community. Het techbedrijf moet verder kijken dan de grenzen van de VS en de EU. Digitale vrijheid is een wereldwijd recht. Bescherm de opensource-wereld in plaats van deze kapot te reguleren.

F-Droid: la verifica degli sviluppatori Android è un malware
Circa due settimane fa, Google ha confermato la roadmap della verifica obbligatoria per gli sviluppatori Android. F-Droid ha pubblicato un nuovo post sul sito ufficiale per evidenziare le conseguenze, affermando che il servizio usato per bloccare le app non verificate è come un malware.

Ho appena trovato su F-Droid un bel client modificato della app ufficiale di Mastodon. Si chiama @moshidon
La cosa che apprezzo di più è la possibilità di leggere le timeline locali di altri server, cioè, la funzionalità che imho davo per scontata quando mi sono approciato al concetto di federazione e decentralizzazione. Va bene non essere tutti sullo stesso server, ma voglio avere il piacere di "entrare in casa degli altri"!

Damit werden natürlich auch alle Bestrebungen zur #DigitaleSouveränität im Privaten blockiert. Es ist jetzt schon schwierig. Wenn die Alternativen wie z.B. /e/OS, #GrapheneOS oder gar #FDroid wegfallen, wird es ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit werden.

@hund The official WireGuard client is no longer available because the developer (though the WireGuard developer is a bit odd anyway) wanted it that way (F-Droid prohibits in-app updates, so there was apparently a conflict).
WG Tunnel is no longer available on F-Droid because F-Droid labeled Bible apps as NSFW for a while, and as a result, the WG Tunnel developer no longer wanted his app on F-Droid. However, WG Tunnel is still available via IzzyOnDroid.

A free app that changed how I experience the #Fediverse

🌍 A free app that changed how I experience the #Fediverse

The best thing I’ve learned on the #Fediverse is that it’s better to share what you genuinely love rather than posting just to gain followers.

Today, I want to highlight a #FDroid application that has become essential on my #Android device. It helps me understand most of the languages used across the Fediverse while fully respecting my privacy.

✨ Key features:

🌍 100% offline translation
⚡ Extremely fast translation
🎙️ Speech-to-text with instant translation
🔊 Audio playback of translated text
📷 Live camera translation: simply point your phone at signs, posters, or menus
🖼️ Image translation
📄 Document translation (PDF, ODT…)
🔗 Web page translation via URL
📚 Built-in dictionary

I also suggested its integration to the developers of #Holos and #Fedilab. They were very open and implemented it brilliantly. It shows how easily this kind of solution can be integrated into other Fediverse applications.

I would also like to sincerely thank the developer of Offline Translate for their work, dedication, and responsiveness. Free and open-source developers invest a tremendous amount of time into their projects. Even a simple message of appreciation or encouragement can truly make a difference.

By supporting these projects, we make the #Fediverse more accessible, more open, and more welcoming for all languages.

I've also made Ogres more fatty in "Dima Defense ⚔️". And now the game counts level completions, even if you've return to the main menu too much early, before the game return you to the main menu by itself.

The new version you can download on Codeberg 🏔️👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-Defense/releases/tag/v0.8.1

You can check its source code here 🏔️👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-Defense

My recent work (upgrade from Expo 54 to 56) broke the recipe build, which is why the app was stuck on 1.8.1.
That is now fixed, so you will be able to get the latest features and fixes.

So, how would you feel?

Been off work this week due to poor health so rooted my old Pixel 6 Pro and setup vanilla #lineageos. Installed and configured my favourite apps from #fdroid and have been having a blast with it. Wish this could be my daily phone but it wouldn't even work with my car. Still, nice to have as a backup device.

Breezy Weather kann ich nur empfehlen. Sehr funktionale und schick gemachte Wetter-App. ☀️⛈️☔

#wetterapp #fdroid

@IzzyOnDroid yeah, I avoid installing things from Google Play because of all the malware (not to mention spyware). Why take unnecessary risks when we have trusted options like #Fdroid or #IzzyOnDroid instead, amirite

Wetter ist gerade ja Thema. Dass ausgerechnet wetter.com aktuell ganz oben in den Play-Store-Charts steht, sagt leider viel über Android-Apps: 10 Tracker, 37 Berechtigungen - für Wetter. 🌦

In der Datenschutzerklärung: genaue Standortdaten auch für ortsbezogene Werbung, auch durch Dritte. Nach WetterOnline und Databroker-Files sollte eigentlich klar sein, wohin so etwas führen kann.

Nehmt DWD WarnWetter, Kleine Wettervorschau Deutschland, Cirrus oder Breezy Weather aus F-Droid.
