Have a look at https://codeberg.org/Chfkch/bitritter
for BitWarden. It's not polished, but viewing items works, creating/saving not yet.

Bon, l'Open source, c'est bien, MAIS…
c'est parfois (souvent ?) pas aisé d'utilisation.

Exemple concret : avant de m'intéresser à l'open source, j'utilisais fréquemment Microsoft Lens pr scanner des docs avec mon smartphone. Qd j'ai pris conscience des problèmes posés par ce genre d'app, j'ai très vite basculé sur une app open source. L'utilisation n'est pas aussi intuitive, ms l'appli est tout aussi efficace, tout en respectant la vie privée.

Je vous raconte un truc 🧵

#Foss #privacy #android

Maintenant, mise en situation.

La nièce de ma voisine (70 ans) a installé pr ses besoins une app de scan. Probablement, l'une des 1eres proposées par le Play Store.

CamScanner.

Facile à utiliser, MAIS !

Tt est fait pr que l'app conserve les scans et que ça n'en sorte pas. Elle en fait quoi, de ces données d'ailleurs ? Copier, déplacer ou retrouver les scans ds la mém. du tél est IMPOSSIBLE pr un utilisateur novice, et franchement ardu pr un utilisateur expérimenté.

HEY #ASKFEDI 🤔 What Gallery app do you use on your #Android phone?

I feel like the Photos app from Google would be okay, but all the good features (like detecting people in your photos) only work if you upload all your shit to Google servers.

The Gallery app from Google is an "offline" gallery app, but barely has the same features. I've tried Right Gallery and it's okay, but not great.

What are you using?

Now #Bhim also required you to turn off Developer options. This. is the last straw, I am moving to cash and card from now on. @GrapheneOS any plans to add a way to hide the enablement of the developer options from apps? I would also like a way to fake that the app is installed from Play Store when it is installed from any alt frontend, not really sure if it is possible or not.

F-Droid and Google's Developer Registration Decree

https://f-droid.org/en/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html

"If you own a computer, you should have the right to run whatever programs you want on it. This is just as true with the apps on your Android/iPhone mobile device as it is with the applications on your Linux/Mac/Windows desktop or server. Forcing software creators into a centralized registration scheme in order to publish and distribute their works is as egregious as forcing writers and artists to register with a central authority in order to be able to distribute their creative works. It is an offense to the core principles of free speech and thought that are central to the workings of democratic societies around the world."

"Google confirms #Android dev verification will have free and paid tiers, no public list of devs"

Thanks, we still think it's garbage

More details on Google's plans to block sideloading of Android apps from unverified developers - sideloading *will* still be supported, but the new rules could bring an end to some apps & app distributors (like F-Droid). https://www.androidauthority.com/how-android-app-verification-works-3603559/ #Android #Apps #Google

I'm seeing a number of posts about folk thinking of leaving #AndroidDev due to Googles policy changes.

For clarity I left the #Android world this year, and largely for those reasons.

I bought a T-Mobile G1 on the first day. I've built SDKs and firmware for Android, I have commits in the AOSP. I built (and sold) an app store in the early days. I also worked on the Android team at Google for a while.

Android, to me, is now a Google product. Not the open platform it was.

My advice; Just do it.

Manager: "And just a reminder to download Megahappyfunproductivityapp if you haven't already done so. It's really important in helping us to stay on top of our deadlines and work together more effectively as a team."

Me: :Downloads the stupid app:

Notification: "Here's your one-time login code."

Notification: "You have a message!"

Notification: "You have a task due later today."

Notification: "Here are some random files from the intranet that might be relevant to your meeting."

Notification: "Rate us on the app store!"

Notification at 8am on Sunday morning because Sharon from accounts wants to let everyone know she's a workaholic with no life: "You have a message!"

Notification: "Here's an AI summary of your upcoming tasks!"

Notification: "Love using Megahappyfunproductivityapp at work? Check out Megahappyfunproductivityapp Personal Edition!"

Notification: "Join our upcoming user conference in Melbourne to hear tips, tricks, case studies, thought leadership, and best practices"

Notification: "Don't miss out! Upgrade to Megahappyfunproductivityapp Premium Edition today and SAVE 15%!* T&Cs apply."

Me: :Deselects everything except critical notifications and message notifications:

Notification: "We've updated our terms of service" (We won't mention it was because our lawyers weren't 100% certain "share your data with third party vendors" would prevent us getting sued for selling your data to ChatGPT. So we're making it explicit, and burying it on page 327 of our terms of service.)

Notification: "Someone is trying to message you on our app!"

Notification: "Here's your one-time login code."

Notification: "Here's your one-time login code."

Notification: "Here's your one-time login code."

Notification: "Rate our customer service."

Notification: "Check out our new AI features!"

Notification: "DON'T FORGET! You still haven't rated our customer service!"

Notification: "We miss you 🥹"

Notification: "Here's your AI task report"

Notification: "Here's some people you might know!"

Me: :Disables notification:

Colleague: "Did you get my urgent message on Megahappyfunproductivityapp?"

Me: "Nope, I turned off notifications."

Colleague: "Okay, can you turn on notifications so you don't miss another important message like that?"
