With #Matrix, the #Riot.im client was replaced by #Element, which is buggy. In the process, the upstream used to produce the #miniVector client was disrupted, so that client is discontinued. #Pattle's developer also decided to discontinued it.
I'll have to look around #F-droid to see what else is available. -

@clacke Yes. The reason I posted is that people think that #F-Droid will step in and rescue apps that #Google #Play_Store bans, but history shows that is not the case. -

Yes, #F-Droid is a better option than #Google_Play, but F-Droid is also known to expel Fediverse client apps when confronted with an astroturf campaign against them. -

@thndrbvr @dorkbird Did you ever try #I2P? I found the app in #F-droid, so I installed it, but it took years before it actually worked on any of my devices. Then, once I finally got it working, I found a directory in which most of the links were dead ... there was no longer a site there. -

Is there something on #F-Droid that is similar to #iOS "Dash"? It is convenient to view the help / API docs for various scripting languages. -

“Turn on Play Protect”
None for me, thank you. I see the kinds of garbage that gets into the #Google #Play_Store. I’d rather rely on a few motivated #F-Droid maintainers to inspect and package the software on my devices than your auto-scan software.
(BTW, let me emphasize again that #de-google is NOT ENOUGH. #DecentraLife ... I want to remove not just Google from my life, but all #corpocentric gatekeepers.) -

Discovered #disaster.radio on #F-Droid. https://disaster.radio/ Related to #SecureScuttleButt ( #SSB ), solar-powered network for use during catastrophic events. I don't think they're ready for real-world use yet. -

@strypey No idea. #Session is currently not showing in #F-Droid (though I'm sure it was there a few days ago). -

Message from #F-Droid informing that Firefox Klar has a serious unpatched vulnerability. They recommend removal.
I guess that means it is abandoned? Is the Play version (Firefox Focus) similarly vulnerable, or is there just no current maintainer? -

Is there an #Android language learning app on #F-droid that people would recommend?
Likewise for #iOS ... I tried DuoLingo, but the gamification and resulting frequent notifications felt like harassment (not to mention my not being interested in creating the membership that it often pushed for). I deleted it. -

No, #Google, I don’t want to turn on “Play Protect”. You ask that every time I’m updating my #F-Droid apps. -

@gdroid #org_andstatus_app #fdroid_app_comments Tip: In a case you don't see updates in #FDroid for too long, and you don't (want to) use Google Play Store (which usually makes new versions available in minutes...) you can always download the latest #AndStatus release attached to this post: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456

I have to say that I am seriously impressed with the F-Droid Repomaker utility. It's well-designed and easy to use.

After one more visit to the #Telstra shop, #DLW has a working, top-of-the-line surveillance device. I'm about to factory reset her old phone and install #F-Droid as soon as I pour myself another drink. Or perhaps a modest queue of drinks. -

I created an issue ticket for #F-Droid lacking status health dashboard and being a black box for developers, publishing their applications via F-Droid.

In appears that due to recent #F-Droid build server problems #AndStatus v.36.05 build was not prepared for F-Droid users.
Now when v.36.06 has been released (and is available, as usual, here: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456 ) I hope that this new version will be more lucky :-) -

@masoud There's no need to free one's entire device in order to install the flexible repository of !fs that is #F-Droid ;) Most people I know have already installed F-Droid since it's simply much easier. No hassle with account registration etc. and they get all the software they need through there. (and if it's not there, they can easily receive it from a friend with …
