@dansup@mastodon.social will that be on f-droids official repository or will it be on pixelfeds f-droid repository? #fdroid #pixelfed

🔥 Bitte lest den aktuellen @epicenter_works@chaos.social Newsletter mit einer klaren Analyse was der EU #Kidsact für das #Fediverse und seine Dienste wie #Mastodon bedeutet 🧵 Bye Bye Fediverse "Und als absolute Krönung, werden im Gegensatz zum #DSA kleine Plattformen wie #Mastodon oder #fdroid nicht verschont.

For those who still see gaps in their home timeline with #Fedilab, there is an open issue on #CodeBerg where I published two new APKs today: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues/1410#issuecomment-24200376 This comment explains how to send reports: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues/1410#issuecomment-23273524 Feel free to help. You can safely install the APK (Google or #FDroid version, from the custom repo) without breaking updates.

@lok@rex.cat @board 我也在最近注册 #Astermail 的邮箱。 我注册的原因是，它的安卓客户端有开源版本，且上架了 #fdroid 应用商店，它也是目前唯一支持 #UnifiedPush 通知推送的邮件服务商( #JMAP 相关除外)， #Tuta 和 #ProtonMail 等知名的服务商都还只能后台长连接。

The new Pixelfed mobile app is almost ready, and I figured it would be cool to release on F-Droid and AltStore first, with the App and Play Store releases following the next week. Sound good? #pixelfed #askPixelfed #altStore #fDroid

Wow, finally a modern #OpenPGP app available on #FDroid: PGPony | F-Droid - Free and Open Source #AndroidOS App Repository. Perfect for de-Googled devices with #GrapheneOS or #e_OS. https://f-droid.org/packages/com.pgpony.android #security #messaging #encryption

F-Droid 2.0 是官方 F-Droid 應用程式逾十年來最大幅度的改版，提供自由與開放原始碼軟體（FOSS）的 Android 應用程式探索、安裝與管理功能。新介面改為「探索、搜尋、我的應用程式」三個核心區域，擴充並重新整理分類，遊戲更細分為 17 種類型；搜尋則可比對名稱、說明、分類與翻譯內容，並強化中文、日文與韓文的搜尋效果。使用者也可交叉套用類別、裝置適用性與非自由網路服務等篩選條件，且全程不以追蹤或延長停留時間為目標。 安裝與更新流程是此次改版重點。受歐盟《數位市場法》（DMA）及各地反壟斷行動帶動，Android 開放替代商店採用更順暢的安裝機制；F-Droid 2.0 使用統一安裝器與預先核准 API（應用程式介面），在適用裝置上可於決定安裝時立即確認，不必等到 APK（Android 應用程式安裝檔）下載完成。新版預設會自動取得並安裝更新，也保留手動控制選項；但目前不支援 F-Droid Privileged Extension（FPE，具特權權限的擴充功能），改以 Android 的工作階段安裝機制進行背景更新，並因底層限制停止支援 Android 6。 隱私與安全功能亦重新調整。F-Droid 仍可搭配 Tor（洋蔥路由匿名網路）使用，並建議以 Tor VPN 方式簡化連線；緊急情況下清除敏感資訊的「恐慌」功能仍保留。不過，原本可偽裝成計算機的隱藏模式，現在僅改變圖示與名稱，明確提醒使用者它仍會出現在 Android 的應用程式設定頁，且可能被鑑識檢查發現。因維護成本高，觸發恐慌後抹除其他應用程式的功能暫未回歸。開發團隊並以 Kotlin（Android 常用程式語言）與 Jetpack Compose（Android 現代化介面工具組）重寫主要部分，藉此降低維護負擔與新人參與門檻；新版也完成獨立資安稽核，完整報告將在核准公開後發布。裝置間直接分享應用程式的 Nearby 功能則正重新開發，尚未納入首波版本。 https://f-droid.org/2026/09/24/f-droid-2.0-a-new-chapter-for-android-freedom.html #fdroid

#SchokosAppetizer 📲 Ich nutze schon sehr lange Karten von OpenStreetMap als Grundlage für meine Navigation. Als mein altes Fairphone 2 für die App OSMAnd+ aber zu schwach wurde, habe ich nach Alternativen geschaut. Über Organic Maps bin ich letztlich bei dessen Fork CoMaps gelandet. Auch wieder Karten von OpenStreetMap, auch wieder Offline-Karten. Aber viel schlanker. Damit konnte mein Fairphone 2 tatsächlich wieder flüssig navigieren 😅 Und die meisten Funktionen von OSMAnd+ habe ich eh nicht genutzt. Da ist die deutlich aufgeräumtere Nutzungsoberfläche von CoMaps ein weiterer Vorteil. Und @CoMaps@floss.social ist auch hier im Fediverse aktiv 😃 https://f-droid.org/packages/app.comaps.fdroid #CoMaps #OpenStreetMap #OpenSoutce #FDroid

Karl, I've been evangelizing Ente Auth for a little more than two years now. It remains the ONLY fully cross-platform syncing FOSS solution available.

Mobile versions were available more than a year prior, but that didn't satisfy basic cross platform requirements. Back then there was Twilio (Authy), a proprietary solution that announced the sunset of their desktop version soon after the release of Authy desktop, and you could actually migrate your database by exporting it, interestingly enough.

Not surprisingly, they soon pushed and "update" to the desktop version which cripplewared it -presumably in anticipation of Ente Auth mass migrations.

There was a report of a flakey sync between KeepassDX and KeepassSX some time ago, yet I've never experienced issues.

Having said that, you should know that NextCloud itself reports issues with .kdbx syncing if you are stupid enough to install from the Google playstore, other sources like the git repo or F-Droid are not intentionally crippled in this way, by design, and virtue of their contract with Google.

I usually don't mention using password managers together with #MFA authenticators out of an abundance of concern for being flamed by fellow security professionals, but felt it prudent to mention here; the fact is that people will do so anyway because it's convenient.

I do separate, as a best practice, the use of my passwords and my only authenticator, Ente Auth, yet keep backup copies of my #TOTP MFA keys in a .kdbx file (in the comments - not active). I believe that's advisable to keep them in a separate vault and avoids the issue of not being able to migrate (i.e., Twillio's Authy lockdown cripple).

Sure, one could break and reinitialize their MFA on each of their myriad accounts but that's indeed a Major Pain (that's a TV pun).

So for me, I'm a staunch supporter of Pass/OpenKeyChain (sync via Git) & #Ente_Auth on all of my platforms: Android, FreeBSD, Linux (I no longer use Windows) - Sync via my self-hosted Ente Auth server; and a .kdbx client appropriate for my OS, syncing that via #NextCloud. You can use #Peergoss if you prefer.

For everyone else, I usually recommend they go with a combination of Ente Auth and [VaultWarden}(https://vaultwarden.com)

That keeps everything absolutely self-hosted and 💯% #FOSS.

If you're not a stickler for self-hosting those very same solutions are still available to you, except that for #VaultWarden you need to go [HERE](https ://VaultWarden.org).

I don't do Apple, but I am aware of .kdbx clients for that particular manufacturers products and the iPhone was, I believe, the first platform that Ente Auth was released for.

Beyond that I just urge everyone to stick with 100% FOSS solutions whenever feasible (i.e., Use VaultWarden instead of BitWarden) and make sure to contribute whatever they feel is fair to the developer teams that make all of this possible.

I hope that helps!

is there an alternative client frontend to the official #fdroid app that has an anti-LLM policy? i really don't want something that is capable of installing and updating apps on my phone, of all things, to be slop-ridden; i don't care how minor the commits are or how well they've supposedly been reviewed, and i'm not going to act like it's pointless to try just because some android dependencies might have slop. that's just not how i see it. and i don't need the FSF to tell me "slop's okay actually" for me to change my mind. i can have my own opinions. (i'm working on leaving the android ecosystem entirely, but that will take time.) #NoAI

From F-Droid, I tried this new app called timeto.me. It's for organising tasks. It looks interesting. But I can't quite figure it out. Does anyone else use this? https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.timeto.app/ #opensource #fdroid #timetome #app #timemanagement #taskmanager #goals #android #lineageos

Pierwsza aktualizacja z F-Droida która spowodowała problemy: zaktualizowałem sobie aplikację Librera FD (czytam sobie na niej gazety epubach i pdfach), po aktualizacji i otwarciu dowolnego pliku apkę wywala. Wersja z Google Play (i reklamami w darmowej wersji) tego problemu nie ma. #librera #fdroid

Nice work Switzerland! 👏👏 European governments are starting to support alternative mobile app stores, such as @fdroidorg@floss.social , for their government-built apps. Next up, government issued (fair)phones for civil servants that come with an open OS and open app store? 🚀 https://www.parlament.ch/de/ratsbetrieb/suche-curia-vista/geschaeft?AffairId=20267146 #digitalsovereignty #opensource #foss #mobile #fdroid #eupolicy #switzerland

#fedilab wird den #playstore nicht mehr beliefern. Nutzt ihr #foss apps die ihr nur über Playstore bezieht oder zieht ihr die eh alle über #fdroid ? Für mich war zb neu, das #homeassistant mit Notifications und Location Tracking Probleme haben soll, wobei Notifications sich über #UnifiedPush mit zb #ntfy lösen lässt. https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/117220471248326127
