Hier soir j'ai viré le compte g..gl. de mon Archos et j'ai installé aurora. Je me suis couché plus serein ! Il en faut peu pour être heureux. Très peu ...@fdroidorg @gdroid

As promised, I wrote a blog post: "Spoofing commits to repositories on GitHub"

Using the app is a lot of fun! Very much like catching Pokemon, but useful ;)

Helped me get involved in OpenStreetMap community

@everlastingrocks
No, @gdroid gives some useful features for Fdroid.
Yes, it's low (total users) because the paid app is quite new and a lot of users switched to the fdroid version (that was also a goal)

#GitHub is blocking users based on national origin, citing US trade controls law restrictions....

People from #Iran, #Syria, #Crimea, #Cuba, and North Korea woke up one day to lose access to all their public and private repositories. There's reporting that even people *who traveled* to any of those countries in the last 2 years are losing their data...

And #GitHub has not said ONE WORD ABOUT IT.

No, it was for the Google Play release. Though, there is an app for Fdroid that allows to give feedback @gdroid

Before I go off to celebrate Midsummer by being in bed sick (Swedish woes), I want to share a small update.

#Tusky will keep blocking servers which actively promote fascism. This in particular means Gab.

We will get our next release out just in time for the 4th of July.

Don't even try to debate us about Free Speech. This is our speech, exercising #ANTIFA views. And we will keep doing it

We will post a bigger update at a later time about what this all really means.

Blog post on everything Tusky and rickrolling, a one-stop-shop of all of my rebuttals against the common arguments I've seen over the past week or so.

@__h2__ offered a 50€ bounty for proper Android TV support.

If that's of any interest to you, maybe you want to add to that bounty. Or maybe you want to implement the missing bits.

👍 #gdroid the #android #app store for #fdroid makes it easy to find new #apps through tags and and through ratings in the fediverse (like this post). The app is frequently updated.

Fun fact:

The instance social.masto.host is indirectly funded by LineageOS + F-Droid.

Earlier, I was replacing my phone every 2 years with a new version of the same series. But last year, when my phone was ready for replacement (too slow, no Android updates), I flashed LineageOS + F-Droid on it instead.

I saved € 187.5 by not buying a new phone. This instance costs € 5 per month.

P.S. I know the exact cost because I bought one for a family member.

Recently, I considered living without Google. The idea came up to me after reading the reflection from @switchingsocial
I agreed with SwitchingSocial's perspective. This article is my first step to say goodbye to Google. (and first step to write blog in English 😳 )

@tom79 Wow! @gdroid has improved a lot since I tried it in its first versions. Before I always went back to F-Droid, now I think I'm going to stay.

@tom79
Very cool! I never saw the need to check out an fdroid skin, but the (federated!) ability to rate apps has convinced me to download it :)
@gdroid

Hey, anyone here has a #device that runs #Android 4 and doesn't need it anymore?

Please donate it to @gdroid and help improving a feature-rich #FreeSoftware
