I'm starting to detect the breakdown of what Google has done when it comes down to authentication of programmers for its Android platform

I needed to patch a very small program through fDroid KDE connect
When I proceeded with install, Google Play popped up a bogus requester stating that the program is malicious.

It's not malicious it's an Open Source program

I proceeded with install anyway for which I had to put in my phone's password. Google Play decided to block me from updating the program. I proceeded with this 16 times and got the same result.

I have to check what happens on my other Androids, however on this Android, a small one, I cannot update kdeconnect anymore, because the Play Store actively blocks it even when I override it with install anyway.

KDE connect was installed via fDroid

I have the right to install any program I want, on my device.

I paid for it!

Google cannot dictate me what to do

I shall fight this

#firefox on my android phone is just randomly switching UI and I don't get it.

It's fennec from #fdroid.

@GOKUSHRM next time, put a link to the post :).

Project on Github: https://github.com/Koizeay/Toolbox
And someone already asked for F-Droid inclusion but it kept unanswered:
https://github.com/Koizeay/Toolbox/issues/8

If you are interested in, maybe re-open the issue or contact the #FDroid folks.

Great opensource app available on Google play store but not available on f-droid. What a waste of effort. That's why normal peoples hesitate to join opensource ecosystem, because tons of good apps still not available on f-droid. #android #fossandroid #itsfoss #fdroid #privacy #foss #toolbox #community

We've reopened registrations on #Holos. The first phase helped us identify and fix a bottleneck. All registrations now go through the app. The web version shows where to download it at https://holos.social/signup
Currently we only have our direct download link, but #FDroid/#AltStore and Google Play/App Store (if they accept) are planned.

#Signal isn’t just AWS. It also has a hard dependency on Google’s push notification system (FCM) if you don’t want your battery to catch fire.

Signal’s attitude towards #UnifiedPush and #FDroid speaks volumes.

Jour 17 : F-Droid

Un max d'applis (trop d'applis ?) libres sur votre téléphone au même endroit, F-Droid est une excellente alternative au magasin d'applications de google␀...

Started ONLY sideloading apps to my Android. I no longer have any kind of Play Store. Made this little application to which lets me know which Apps can be upgraded to a newer version.

Next up is app upgrade wizard where I can simple choose which to upgrade.

Такой же бесячий, как и обычный Фаерфокс, вообще без отличий:
- дистр из F-Droid на +100 метров
(для мобильника, ага, сдурели чо ль)
обязательный допрос из 6-7 пунктов перед первым запуском
(чё за хрень, идите вы с ним)
и
бесячее всплывающее уведомление от встроенного переводчика, которое фиг закроешь с 1 раза
(аж на ~пол-экрана вываливается, гадина)
Мозилла, ты следуешь куда-то не туда... Даже Хромиум меня так не достает, как ФаерФокс!..

#JeCherche une Appli #Androïd de type dictaphone qui permettrait de convertir ma voix en texte 🤔

Ça m'épuise d'avoir autant d'idées en tête et de perdre un temps de fou à essayer de les mettre en forme, donc je voudrais essayer.

De préférence #Libre, #OpenSource, et sans #IA (J'en demande beaucoup, je sais)

#FDroid ?

Repouet acceptés 🙏
