Is there an open source #Android app (preferably via #fdroid) which allows you to track how much money you spend? Something like #HomeBank or #gnuCash but for the mobile phone?
The features I'd like to have: Multiple accounts (e.g., bank, cash, savings), categories for each transaction, recurring transactions (e.g. for rent)
Thus, the BasicCashFlow app from the fdroid store is not sufficient for me.
"Imagine you take a photo of your kid’s rash to send to the doctor…and a few hours later, police show up at your door. They’re not there because of a warrant or anyone complained. They’re there because your phone quietly reported you. Now imagine that same “snitch mode” running on every photo you take, every DM you send, every file you save—all before it’s encrypted, all without a judge ever signing off. That’s not science fiction. It’s called client-side scanning. Governments are actively pushing tech companies to turn it on, and big tech has already built most of the machinery."—Hampton Law

Does anybody know, if Tusky for Android supports multiple accounts?
It'd be great, 'cause I maybe wanna create more accounts for myself on different servers for different purposes. And that's something, which the official Mastodon client for Android doesn't do.
Thanks for your support.
Feel free to share this toot. :)

Everything old is new again!
The latest version of #Android has lockscreen widgets
This was a feature in early versions of Android. No idea why it was ever removed, but I'm glad it is back again!
Does someone here know how to restore #signal messages from the cloud #backup?
It seems to be the only way to create a backup on #iOS. Unfortunately, the option from the documentation does not exist on the new #android device.
Or are backups incompatible between iOS and Android, @signalapp?

#Android is dead and we’d better all leave the ship before it sinks entirely.
Options to unlock bootloaders on Android devices are also narrowing down. Xiaomi removed the ability to unlock the bootloader entirely in MIUI in August (after months spent making it ridiculously difficult), same for OnePlus, Samsung did so in July, and probably Google devices will soon follow suit.
And let’s not mention the nightmare of the Play Integrity API that forces all Android developers to register through the Play Store and use Google’s signing keys, even if they don’t intend to distribute their apps through it.
Sure, officially Google has taken a step back and has pledged to provide a way for developers and power-users to bypass those restrictions. But we can all expect it to be a cumbersome and change-prone process filled with ridiculous amounts of frictions at every step - and I wouldn’t even expect such a morally bankrupt company to keep maintaining this “sideloading” option.
Google once competed with Apple for customers. But in a world where Google walks away from the biggest antitrust trial since 1998 with yet another slap on the wrist, competition is dead, and Google is taking notes from Apple about what they can legally get away with. And the EU, the biggest opposer of its anti-competitive acts, is also becoming softer with Big Tech - both because Vestager has left the job, and because being soft with trillion-dollar monopolist tech titans is seen as a sign of being “technologically competitive”.
Your best bet is to purchase a Pixel 9a now, before more manufacturers decide to block bootloaders, and immediately flash it with #GrapheneOS.
The long term plan would instead be to throw all of our efforts and energies on Linux phones. The folks at GrapheneOS are doing an amazing job and fighting against all kind of pressures, but at some point we should probably all just acknowledge that anything that is tainted with Android, or runs on a device intended only to run Android, is a liability, and we should no longer build solutions on top of hardware and software that we can no longer trust.
Sailfish, PostmarketOS, UBPorts, MeeGo or whatever comes next must succeed. No matter the cost.

Some other simple things
8. Disable google advertising ID in phone settings
9. Install F-Droid where you can discover many FLOSS apps deliberately not published on google play
10. Switch from a fingerprint to a pin (added bonus that police in several countries can legally force your thumb onto your phone but cant legally force you to give up a pin)
11. Switch from google notification servers to something else like microg and/or set notifications to not display message content or at least not display message content when the phone is locked (Im pretty sure all that can be done from notification settings)
12. Switch from googles keyboard app to an open source alternative from f-droid (google has been fined millions before for illegally and secretly tracking geolocation it wouldnt surprise me if they do the same with keystrokes, and also mic and camera)
13. There's a bunch of other phone-home features spread across the settings but mostly under privacy category and accessibility category that you might want to turn off if you have no use for
