#fdroid — Public Fediverse posts

@mboelen kleine aanvulling.

Voor het branden van een opstart stick op Android is wellicht deze handig:

EtchDroid usb-schijfmaker #Fdroid
https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.depau.etchdroid
EtchDroid ISO to USB Writer - #GooglePlay
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.depau.etchdroid&hl=en-US

Ik gebruikte een aantal keer een andere app, maar dan zat je met betalen en advertenties.

(Etchdroid heb ik zelf nog niet nodig gehad)

Du kannst die APK Datei hier direkt downloaden:
shop.threema.ch/de/download

sie prüft auch selbstständig auf Updates.

Oder im #FDroid ist #Threema auch als #ThreemaLibre zu bekommen für komplett googlefreie Geräte:
f-droid.org/de/packages/...

Threema für Android herunterla...

Ich wollte schon seit gestern diese Frage fragen, die eigentlich keine Frage ist sondern eine Feststellung, aber auf Grund des Unterhaltungswertes als Frage formuliert ist: Warum ist eigentlich die AntennaPod App (https://antennapod.org, gibts bei fdriod;-) soviel besser als die ARD "Sound" App, die als ARD Audiothek App schon meh war und jetzt quasi unbenutzbar ist???

Recently:
- F1 is back! Kinda surprised Verstappen re-signed for so many years.
- Migrated #SyncthingFork to new version after much delay
- Woah when did #fdroid Basic change its looks. I miss the old one...
- Pushed a huge 'version' change to my site (I really need to do update the changelog)
- Thanks to @paulrobertlloyd, @rick and @aciccarello for working so much on #Indiekit's development!

Hope everyone is going well! Have a nice weekend 😀

I found it a little bit more fiddly (than on #UbuntuTouch) to get Waydroid working in #PostmarketOS but this wiki page was helpful:

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Waydroid

After that, downloading the #fdroid apk and installing AuroraStore was plain sailing. So in short AuroraStore is already supported (in a way, i.e. in an Android container) in Linux on mobile devices.

#Olauncher tip: you can rename applications in the all-applications drawer with an emoji at the beginning so tat they get sorted to the top of the list. That way you get six extra hand-picked launchers on a secondary screen from the main eight.

The application names aren't sorted, because the emojis are different, but you could probably use something like a bullet "•" instead so that the names remain sorted.

AuroraStore works fine in Waydroid on Ubuntu Touch. I installed it using #fdroid

#ubports #UbuntuTouch

Gosh! The #MusicBrainz app is on #Fdroid while the one for #Discogs is not.
Change this must.

Ich nutze #Android und möchte weiterhin selbst entscheiden können, welche Software ich installiere. Daher unterstütze ich https://keepandroidopen.org/de/, um die von Google geplante Sperrung von alternativen App Stores zu verhindern. #FDroid ist aktuell noch nicht betroffen - aber wie lange noch?
Die eigene #Wahlfreiheit ist eine Grundeigenschaft der #Demokratie und sollte nicht von Technologiekonzernen bestimmt werden.

Hé le #Fédiverse, y a t'il quelqu'un qui connaît une alternative à Quik l'application #Android #GoPro lourdingue, complètement pétée et pleine de pubs.
Genre #OpenSource sur #FDroid?

RIP the official #fdroid client (as of 2.0-rc0). The ui lags like hell. Feels like I am using a "web" "app". The search seems broken: searching for "droid" brings no results. (Had to find droid-ify manually through categories.) And the "back" input closes the program instead of closing the search ui. Enshittification at its finest.

@clouderst @grote Update #FDroid full today, you'll get the same + extra features over Basic.

If you're tired of using proprietary software and devices to cast media to your TV, did you know there is an open source protocol called #FCast?

#CastLab, an app that I maintain, works with this protocol. It is only available on #FDroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/app.fedilab.castlab/

More about FCast: https://fcast.org/

Don't hesitate to take back control. The app also works with #Kodi and any other device supporting #DLNA.

I just think it generally reduces the quality available on #FDroid, and I would really like to see apps that look and work better, generally, on the platform. This is sometimes a blocker that I don't always feel is justified.

My 2 cents.

And no shade thrown to devs - I do open source work myself, and it's really hard, time consuming, often unrewarding. Maintenance is a burden, having to keep up with platform updates, adding new features, fixing bugs.

I ended up having to split my build between F-Droid and #GooglePlay/Apple #AppStore.

Which sucks for my #FDroid users. They're going to be stuck with a slightly inferior experience.

I love #FDroid! But as a concept more than practically.

You want to develop an app, and you have all the code in it open source. But then you push an update that blocks it from being built.

And why is that? Because somewhere you depend on a package or library that isn't entirely FLOSS.

And I get that -- I really do. That's basically why the users use it. Myself included. But then you have this conundrum where you have several not great options.

Did you know you can use your phone to provide onramps to the TOR network to help people bypass censorship?

Seems like a very cool project: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.bloco.snowflake/

I've had it running on my phone today. Pretty modest battery drain, and it can be set to only run on wifi and/or while charging.
