Hab gerade über #fdroid die Apps aktualisiert. Beim #feedreader blieb der Download hängen. Bin dann von der Aufgabenansicht in die Appansicht gewechselt. Da stand dann links installieren.
Dummerweise wurde nicht der ganze Text des Buttons angezeigt, den es fehlten die beiden Buchstaben de, die waren außerhalb des Bildschirms.
Und schwupp war die APP weg.
Natürlich hab ich genau die Einstellungen nicht gesichert. Jaja ich weiß, kein Backup kein Mitleid. Ich glaub ich geh dann besser mal ins Bett.
This isn't at all the answer to what you asked, but I hope you can forgive my asking that, if you use the F-droid store on Android, may I recommend an app called Cool Reader, and a cheap Google Play Store app text to speech engine by Cereproc?
The voice might be a bit "Steven Hawking", but having one's phone read books to oneself opens a vein of the richest thoughts of humankind throughout time.
Whether you want to "read" a medical handbook of ADHD, or Adam Smith's Theories of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth Of Nations, or The Rise And Fall Of The Great Powers, or Flatland, or Seneca's Letters To Lucilius, or Wind Sand And Stars: if you can find them in epub, you can smash them into your brain as easily as Keanu Reeves in a dystopian future.
(Hint1: you can find them in epub. The best books are long out of copyright, and can be found on "pirate libraries" like z-lib, Anna's Archive, or libgen. Hint2: if reading from a mobile 'phone screen consider fettling the settings. Amber text on a black background, with font and margins tailored to your taste is invariably far finer than the default settings. Hint 3: I previously tried Cool Reader from the play store and it had been compiled by a third party with advertising nonsense and God knows what else. Get the F-droid store and install it from there for your own security. It's open-source and doesn't try to send your data anywhere. Hint4: for complex subjects while driving etc you might consoder altering the reading speed.)
Does anyone of you have dedicated #Pixelfed accounts? If so, what app do you use on #Android to access it? I feel I'm having a lot of functionality issues with the #PixelDroid app I've installed via #Fdroid, though it seems to be updated regularly... #Fediverse#fedihelp
(Should probably also check on the @pixeldroid channels for help or issuing bug reports, which I honestly did not do just yet) #foss
It's a voice input app that does voice recognition completely on your phone, so your spoken words never leave it.
Depending on chosen recognition quality it might be slower than GAFAM solutions. But well...
Install the APK from their site or add their repo to your F-Droid client (Neo Store recommended here).
Strava alternative that is open source and privacy focused, it can even just be a private route logger with no cloud. Would be awesome if available on #fdroid
I've recently signed up to the privacy-preserving service Proton. All the email, calendar, drive, VPN, and other services seem to hang off the proton.me domain. I wanted to download the Android apps to my phone - without using the Google Play Store. The VPN app is on F-Droid but none of the others are. So, […]
So I was looking for a #foss#camera app. Open Camera is great but is too overloaded with features for my everyday usage. Also, I like Material You with it's simple unified UI.
So, since I'm on @iode I realized they host an Aperture fork on their #fdroid instance. Did not realise up until now but greatly appreciate it. The few unofficial APKs flying around online aren't optimized for specific phones.
Very nice, thanks for that (and your OS in general 🙂) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.iode.aperture/
Je viens de parcourir quelques fils dans un #forum, celui de #FDroid, pour voir si je trouvais des choses pertinentes sur un sujet que je suis en train d'approfondir.

QT @pluralistic - Hard to overstate how enshittified Google Maps has become. Went looking for my local locksmith. Gmaps shows 20+ fake locksmith referral scam outlets and doesn't even register the real locksmith, despite being fully visible in Street View.
Instead, a red pin on the shop identifies it as a fake locksmith scammer. The real locksmith - which has been there SINCE 1942 (!!) and is a verified merchant - doesn't even show up.
This week in F-Droid (TWIF) was published again :fdroid:
We try to explain the "app was developed for an older version of android and can not be upgraded automatically" banner for some apps (including F-Droid itself).
Also, we talk a bit about the current localization problems on our website.
On the apps side:
new Aurora Store version
Element and SchildiChat were updated to fix two vulnerabilities.
