Ich habe mich schon vor ein paar Tagen geärgert, dass die Fotos meines Führerscheins nicht ordentlich zu meiner Nextcloud autoupgeloadet wurden. Heute haben wir Fotos von einem hübschen Käfer gemacht, die auch nicht hochgeladen wurden. Ich habe dann mal recherchiert und bin darauf gestoßen, dass Google der Nextcloud-Android-App die Berechtigung zur Verwaltung aller Dateien entzogen hat (https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/14135). War jetzt bei mir aber nicht so, dass gar nichts hochgeladen wurde; es war nur sehr unberechenbar, was hochgeladen wurde. Und wenn etwas nicht hochgeladen wurde, wurde es auch dauerhaft nicht hochgeladen.

Noch merkwürdiger ist, dass ich mit Beginn meiner Degoogling-Bemühungen Apps bevorzugt via F-Droid installiere, und die die dortige Nextcloud-App soll die Einschränkung nicht haben. Wegen Inaktivität wurden der App bei mir aber Berechtigungen entzogen. Ja, Nextcloud soll im Hintergrund arbeiten, ich will die App eigentlich nicht bewusst starten. …

Bon c'est malin mais bon maintenant jme retrouve avec trouzemille store/dépôt ...

- FDroid (App Droid-Ify)
- IzzyDroid (App Droid-Ify)
- Obtainium (parce que y a des maj dans le dépôt Fdroid qui arrive beaucoup trop tard)
- Accrescent (parce que plus sécure ?)

Et vous, vous utilisez quoi ?

For my personal calendar, I have #Radicale 3.4.1 installed on a #Debian VPS. It works great, accessing it from #Thunderbird, or the "Fossify Calendar" (from #FDroid) in #Android. I can read and write events from both clients.

I was gifted an iPad, and the default Calendar app lets me have read-only access (only!) to Radicale. When it comes to writing events, that lofty privilege is reserved for iCloud Calendars only, not those riff-raff Calendars that use CalDAV.

Edit: I eventually sorted it out.

I opened a Github "Discussion" thread (for Radicale) on this:
https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/discussions/1755

I guess the moral of this story is: Thunderbird, and Fossify Calendar, thanks for being sane! Also, kudos to #Davx5, which I also rely upon a lot in Android, for my CardDAV contacts to work properly - also stored in Radicale.

PS: #Apple is really hoity-toity. I would never choose into buying an Apple device myself, ever again. #DataSovereignty is next to impossible. #OpenSource

The website now also has the F-Droid badge next to the Google Play and App Store badges.

How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?

In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.

There are a few limitations though:

* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location

What is great:

* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access

Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).

But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.

Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.

In general I am really happy with this system.

And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.

I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.

But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.

Estaba cotilleando #FDroid y me he topado con #KeepAlive . Básicamente: si no has dado señales de vida (no has usado el móvil) en un período de tiempo seleccionado, manda automáticamente un mensaje a un contacto de emergencia o le realiza una llamada.

Bastante bien, ¿no?

Is there any open source app (e.g. via #FDroid for speech transcription on Android? I would like to share audio with this app which then does the transcription offline on my device.

Anything with #Whisper or #CommonVoice models would be great.

Nice the android version of !Qalculate is nice, I love the units support.

#Trump cuts funding to FOSS projects

> So far he hasn't been successful, but it might simply be a matter of time.

For example this is Let's Encrypt, Tor and F-Droid.

I'd like to recommend @pachli - the #Fediverse (#Mastodon) client.

They seem to fix #UX issues, regularly - it's currently actively maintained, as far as i can tell. (i'm getting my updates via #FDroid)

Also, it's the (continental) European kind of #FLOSS flavour. (It's Swiss-made, afaik - close enough to EU - well, the name has a Swiss origin - that's #EU enough, for my taste, for now)

Hallo, kennt jemand #FOSS Apps zum Tracken von #Getränken und/oder des aufgenommen #Koffein?

Finde auf #fdroid immer nur Kaffee (regelt Bildschirm an) und ein uraltes Tool zur #Trinkerinnerung, dass das aktuelle System nicht mehr unterstützt.

#roundsync #nexcloud #disroot
Only problem is localhost wont open 8080 from #tor any similar browser for #android
Dont tell me chrome
#fdroid

To people getting crashes when translating media descriptions, it's fixed in 3.31.2. Not yet available on #FDroid (3.31.2 and 3.31.3 should be available soon).
