  3. @mboelen kleine aanvulling.

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

    EtchDroid usb-schijfmaker #Fdroid
    f-droid.org/packages/eu.depau.
    EtchDroid ISO to USB Writer - #GooglePlay
    play.google.com/store/apps/det

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

    (Etchdroid heb ik zelf nog niet nodig gehad)

  4. Stuck in review on Google Play again. And it’s just for a closed beta, cannot imagine how long it’s going to take to publish the first release… 😷

  5. 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 /Apple .

  6. Google now lets you download third-party app stores from the Play Store... but it doesn't make them easy to find. Following a judicial order, Google plans to fix this issue (of its own making). theverge.com/policy/979852/tha

  8. Ars Technica: Following Epic loss, Google has started hosting rival app stores in the Play Store. “A new day has dawned in the Play Store, and it’s one that Google tried very hard to avoid. The first third-party app store has arrived in Google Play as a result of the long-running antitrust lawsuit with Epic. Those in the US can now head into Google Play and download Aptoide, a game-focused […]

  9. TechCrunch: Google Play adds Venmo as a payment option. “Google Play already offers other digital payment methods including PayPal and Cash App along with cards from American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and JCB in the United States. Outside the U.S., the company has also experimented with allowing users to pay for digital purchases using cash at a nearby store.”

  10. Google ha perdut la seva mítica "exclusivitat" d'app stores: Aptoide Games ja es pot descarregar… dins la pròpia Google Play 😂 El jutge Donato ho va ordenar (plet Epic vs Google, 2024), i Google ho ha complert amb cara de circumstàncies. Escull el teu enemic, diuen. #Android #GooglePlay

  11. Two revelations for today:

    1. Outlook macOS app is surprisingly good, compared to the web interface.

    2. Google Play Console is the shittiest crap in the world. Especially compared to App Store Connect.

    Conclusion: everything is relative.
