Google a fait son choix. Celui de se ranger du côté du fascisme.
Pendant qu'il héberge l'appli de reconnaissance faciale des services de déportation gouvernementaux (ICE), il supprime de son store les applis permettant de prévenir les gens de l'arrivée des agents de l'ICE.
"Do no evil" est bien enterré.
Et que je n'entende plus "la technologie est neutre, elle n'est pas politique !"

@sebsauvage La nature ayant horreur du vide, ces applis seront déportées sur des stores alternatifs. Merci donc à gogol de nous aider à promouvoir ces autres possibles 😉 #fdroid #opensource #lilo #Murena
Tried installing another FOSS app from F-droid.
The previous ~6 installed smoothly and just plain do the work.
Not this one, need to install another app, or is that 3 more apps? and then download a data file.
Back to "Hobbyist level software masquerading as fit for domestic consumption".

what instant messaging (IM), and Voice over IP (VoIP) fdroid app that doesn't require a real phone number can I use to talk to family on an android device?
I don’t use apps like whatsapp or skype because they sell my data and don’t trust them.
I was hoping for a foss alternative to talk to my parents, regular folk who need something easy to set up on their android devices, ideally through fdroid.
I don’t want to reveal a real phone number because I don’t want ads from nobody.
I don’t need to see my parent’s faces, I just need to talk to them and maybe send files and lines of text.
#Catima 2.39.2's release on #GooglePlay has been delayed due to the regular incompetent review program blocking the update due to "lack of provided login credentials for testing".
I've filed an appeal, stating that Catima is fully offline and has no accounts. We will see.
If you're a Google Play user, to be honest, please just use Catima from #IzzyOnDroid, #GitHub or #FDroid. The more people not on Google Play, the less power Google has on blocking updates :)
I've been meaning to share this for a while, but for any Android users out who want to use a text-to-speech engine other than Google's, I recommend Sherpa TTS: https://github.com/woheller69/ttsEngine
It's open source, offline, multilingual, and available on F-Droid.
I use text-to-speech a lot with my RSS readers (Feeder and ReadYou), and it's been a game-changer.

Lieber Herr #Google, gibts für anlasslose Diffamierung von Open Source-Apps eig. einen Straftatbestand oder habt ihr einfach nur Angst, dass Menschen ihre Smartphones von eurer teils undeinstallierbaren Google-Ökosystem-Seuche befreien?
Ich frag für meine #Oma

@fdroidorg I’m not missing any FLOSS apps. I have to use a bunch of proprietary/commercial apps for businesses that I work with. I love the idea of #FDroid and I wish more apps were there. And I wish there was an equivalent for iOS. My comment was that (being inexperienced) I had expected to get more use out of FDroid. I didn’t realise how many apps I use that wouldn’t be in the FDroid store.
In the end, one of the dealbreakers for me was having to stitch together my personal cloud by having multiple apps from multiple teams that don’t create an integrated experience. Mail, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders. I need 4 apps to get these 5 things: email, davx, imapnotes, and something for reminders. I selfhost everything and this was clunky.
I’ve come to the conclusion that we are all boiled frogs. I’ve been in the iPhone ecosystem so long I didn’t realise how boiled I was. Android users are similar. Things that look like deal breaking limitations to me are just little idiosyncrasies that Android users shrug off. And things that drive android users crazy and away from iOS are obviously things I just shrug and put up with.
I thought I would be more flexible than I was.
hello F-droid people. Id like to try to install Transistor radio app on an old Samsung A3. But, I cannot get F-droid or F-droid basic to work. They throw a javascript trust type error and wont populate the apps. I tried downloading the Transistor apk and installing directly but errors happen and it wont open. Is this not possible on the old phone?
