@calculsoberic@molly0xfff I am enthusiastic about blockchain, but I know there are issues like with everything we as humans ever made. I am the most enthusiastic about privacy coins. Even more than regular ones! However, and here comes the interesting part, seems loke #GNU is actively developing an electronic financial system that is not blockchain based and is private by default. It is called GNU #Taler. It is available from #Fdroid.
Using #relatica with recent #Friendica versions and the web client in parallel already is quite a pleasant experience. Now all it probably needs is notifications to replace Mastodon-API clients here. 🙂
Seit ich #GrapheneOS laufen habe lerne ich täglich neue Dinge. Was mich etwas erschreckt sind Berichte zu Sicherheitsmängel im #Fdroid - besonders im offiziellen Client, aber auch in moderneren wie #Droidify aufgrund der zugrunde liegenden Architektur. Der angehängt Artikel ist da meine Hauptquelle.
It would be cool if #FDroid took the opposite approach to Google Play App Signing, by using their build system to create a code transparency key that developers could then bundle with their app, and then developers could in turn sign that bundle with their own signing key.
That way F-Droid could distribute apps that they’ve verified reproducible builds for (and check the CT signature in the F-Droid app), without having to sign the app with their own key—a common complaint about the default F-Droid repo.
#WireGuard becomes the first VPN app on #FDroid to be built reproducibly! This means that WireGuard on F-Droid is now guaranteed to be 100% (bit-by-bit) equal to the WireGuard the developer builds.
If you're using WireGuard from F-Droid, please export your tunnels and re-install to switch to the developer's signature and continue receiving updates.
I can recommend installing #AirGuard app for #Android to detect #AirTags that might be tracking you. Having it installed for months it suddenly alarmed me today when walking with a group. #FreeSoftware and available on #Fdroid
F-Droid Basic just got released for the first time. Built from the same code as regular @fdroidorg, it comes with a reduced feature set (no nearby share and no panic feature). Also it targets Android 13 and will soon be able to do unattended updates.
Currently, the developer of this wonderful #opensource#keyboard app has no time developing it. This is why I want to highlight, we need to support him with donations to help him get more time to work on the app and bring updates whenever we need it. #foss#floss#fdroid#florisboard
Do you sometimes just want one tool from the #AndroidSDK in a container or VM, and don't want to deal with the whole pain of setting up #Java and everything? Try the #FDroid sdkmanager instead of the official one. For example, apt-get install sdkmanager then sdkmanager platform-tools. Plus this verifies all packages using apt-get style GPG-signed index with SHA256 values. Useful in #research on #Android#malware#tracking etc. In pypi, Debian, Ubuntu, and https://gitlab.com/fdroid/sdkmanager/
Special shout-out to @shiftphones thanks for supporting our team! If you haven't heard of #ShiftPhone, you might want to take notes. They build #sustainable electronics and also deliver their own #FOSS#android blend called #ShiftOSL, which comes with #FDroid preinstalled.
