quanto mi piace vedere crescere il #fediverso in soli 3 anni ha fatto passi da gigante, sto aspettando con ansia le nuove app di #loops e #peertube per #android

Just switched to Heliboard on my new phone as GBoard has gotten a new bug in some new Android version: it keeps opening in the English layout. As amazing as it may sound to Google engineers, I always type using a Finnish layout, even when writing English. I don't know where the keys are otherwise! I only have the English layout because I have to, for word suggestions.
Glad I'm able to switch keyboards, unfortunate that I have to.
p.s. If you're wondering why you don't hear more about web apps, it's because Apple and Google hate them. Web apps totally bypass Apple and Google app stores.
Apple and Google enjoy controlling and taxing apps, but they have no control over web apps and don't get any money from them.
Apple even tried to stop web apps completely, luckily they had to back off: https://open-web-advocacy.org/blog/apple-backs-off-killing-web-apps
Web apps are a way of getting apps directly from the people who make them, without big tech getting in the way.
@FediTips I keep hoping the developer verification #Google tries to force on #android can still be averted. But in any case, what I would love to see as a result of this BS move is, to give the idea of #PWA (progressive web apps) a big boost. But maybe the next step is, that #Google sides with #Apple in another attempt to kill #PWA ...
Nach Epic-Urteil: Google öffnet den Play Store in den USA
Google hat den US-Play-Store nach der Schlappe gegen Epic fristgemäß geöffnet. App-Anbieter erhalten mehr Flexibilität bei Abrechnung und In-App-Zahlungen.

Szczerze mówiąc, działania Big Techów w ostatnich latach naprawdę zniechęcają do czegokolwiek. Tak jest też z najnowszym pomysłem Google'a dotyczącym blokowania instalacji spoza "zaufanych źródeł". Lekko, ale merytorycznie pisze o tym autor w poniższym tekście.

｢ Over the last few years, there have been several instances of Pixel users being unable to reach emergency services due to a bug. There have been reports from iPhone or Samsung users facing a similar problem, and that's despite their significantly higher user base ｣

@Rin3d @protonprivacy We use it as the cross-platform foundation for our apps (and I'm told the backend and storage teams are also looking into using Rust).
So basically, we write our business logic in Rust and compile it to #WebAssembly ( #Wasm) for the web, and to a shared object for loading into #Kotlin for #Android and a static library for use in #Swift for #iOS. We also have #Windows desktop clients to eventually support.
It's basically the age-old dream of write once, run everywhere 😄

Google's "fuck-around" with requiring all app devs to provide government ID etc, is turning into "find out".
Let's keep up the pressure, while building sustainable alternatives to Google's Android monopoly.
@protonprivacy We are also looking for a #Senior #Android #engineer: https://grnh.se/2ik1dfd2teu in either #London or #Geneva.
We are ramping up on the development of new #ProtonCalendar apps, written in #Rust using #UniFFI and other goodies... so please share this widely if you know someone who is looking!
We sometimes hire #remote candidates as well, but not often. Everyone is in #Europe, plus/minus 1 timezone. I enjoy this so much: no more late-night meetings with California 😸

Oooooh! #Android's theft detection works on #GrapheneOS.

»Sideloading - F-Droid wirft Google Falschaussage vor
Die Macher von F-Droid teilen weiter gegen Google wegen der kommenden Entwicklerregistrierung aus: Google verbreite Falschaussagen.«
Ich halte mich mit meinen Kommentaren mal raus, denn Rechtlich habe ich so gut wie keine Ahnung aber ich stehe auch 101% hinter @fdroidorg und hoffe dass das positiv für sie entwickelt.

Keep Android Open!!!
In August 2025, Google announced that starting next year, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google.
