hat jemand eine #Empfehlung für einen guten (möglichst deutssprachigen) #Artikel zum Thema #privacy / #Datenschutz bei #Android #Apps, die man unhinterfragt aus dem #GooglePlay Store installiert? So was ganz allgemeines, gut verständliches?
Dann bitte dringend her damit!

#Catima 2.41.0 is out!
https://github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Android/releases/tag/v2.41.0
This release adds support for UTF-8 barcodes (by default, the encoding will be extracted from the pkpass file or auto-detected if set otherwise).
It also contains some bugfixes and UI tweaks.
Due to Google dropping Android 5 compatibility in their libraries, this will be the last release available for Android 5.
Coming soon to an app store near you.

> there are no words in the above post that are a request for a substitute OS, it's literally the opposite. stop it.
@davidgerard
yes, exactly.
i was not suggesting any substitute OS, and just getting the #aurorastore #apk on the #android that comes with the phone.
🛍️📲
that is one easy way to make #android less annoying: remove the #loginwall for #googleplay and use a #foss #googleplay client, #aurorastore, to get the apps from #googleplay.
to get #googeplay apps without showing my ID or whatever #google demands for a login.

not suggesting substitute OS.
I'm setting up a new phone today (still a #Fairphone3, just a less broken one...) using #lineageOS for the first time, and I'm curious to see how far I can get without using #GooglePlay...
#fdroid delivering so far...
#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 :)

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

GooglePlay reports latest F-Droid version of Aves Libre as potential malware
https://github.com/deckerst/aves/issues/1802
#HackerNews #GooglePlay #F-Droid #AvesLibre #malware #cybersecurity
So I went to F-Droid and attempted to download the public transport plugin for Kvaesitso.
And I got a Google Play Protect popup message warning "harmful app detected".
It gave no further details about why this app is harmful.
Does anyone know if this app is harmful? If so how?
Or is this Google being a monopolist and blocking competing open source apps?

An open call to #Android #developers! The #EuropeanCommission needs help evaluating #GooglePlay's #security claims. I'm going to do what I can. Anyone with knowledge of how app installation, uninstallation, sandboxing, signing, etc. could really help here. If you want to contribute, please reach out!

I suspect that #parentalcontrols are intentionally designed to make it harder for #parents to take any actions that aren't in the tech company's business interests.
I can’t tell if it’s #BadBadUX because it’s deprioritized internally, “tacked on” at the end, or if it’s deliberate #DarkPatterns to confuse and exasperate parents into complying with their monetization goals.
My experience in #PlayStation, #Roblox, #Android, #iOS, #GooglePlay is so bad, it couldn’t be by accident.
So apparently #GooglePlay is now nonconsensually doxxing all their individual app developers publishing on the store. This is terrible. Please sign this petition to get them to stop this: https://chng.it/R5mX5t5zZ4
Boosts appreciated!
