Image toolbox is so complete that allowed me to disable google photos: smooth rotation, filter, perspective correction, resize and much much more.

Apotris is probably the best version if tetris available, and it’s foss.

You can get a compiled ROM for GBA and play it on android with a FOSS emulator like Lemuroid. It works!

Ho letto solo embassytown, e nomostante ammiri molto lidea, l’ho trivaro confuso e meno appassionante, e in sostanza concordo con te

È tra quelli che ho letto nella lista, e mi è piaciuto un sacco. Una descrizione non solo verosime ma viva di un luogo completamente assurdo, che mi è rimasto nella mente , e a cui ogni tanto ripenso.

Ho un sacco di ammirazione per l’autore, per essersi inventato qualcosa così.

Like you say Obtanium is able to grab the compiled apks from many different sources, like GitHub release pages and f-droid 1st and 3rd party repos.

F-droid, on the other hand,bgrab the sources from many repos, compiles and signs them, so that all the apks from f-droid repo are guaranteed to be compiled from the relative source, without the addition of anything (tracker, malware…). The same cannot be said (in the sense of technically guaranteed, not in the sense that they are not honest) for the apks you get from GitHub, which are uploaded from the various manteiners.

Edit: in a sense “f-droid build system and repo” and Obtanium are different and complementary:

• fdroid is a repo that gives transparency from source to binary of the apks and contains a certain subset of Foss apps

• Obtanium is a system that aims at giving the greatest amount of apps, without looking too much at where that come from

F-droid Is multiple things

• An app (client side) that allows users to install apps from many repos
• A repo system (server side) that allows anyone to host apps in multiple versions
• A build system that guarantees that the binary apks are built from the sources

The official f-droid repo hosts only apps built with the f-droid build system. The binaries are signed with the f-droid key and in general are different from the binaries of the same apps that you can find elsewhere, like the GitHub of the apps themseves.

For example IzzyOnDroid repo uses f-droid repo system to host the binaries of many Foss apps as found from each GitHub repo, so not from the f-droid build system.

As far as I know, nobody has the reproducible build chain of F-droid.

yes, it can be forked etc, but it’s no easy task

EDIT: this is what I’m talking about https://f-droid.org/it/docs/Reproducible_Builds/

Because without context, your link cannot be understood by the majority of people using f-droid (or, at least me)

The reddit thread gives the context.

It is the same difference as linking a news article about a new law or the link to the law or something very specific on a government site

Thats a reddit link

that was my source, but anyway I will copy-paste the simplified explanation (the one I understood, btw)

I might be oversimplifying, but here goes.

The Board Community Council reached a decision on something (namely, giving members of the Community Council further direct GitLab access); Hans happens to be the one currently endowed with Owner privileges on GitLab aside from Ciaran; Hans refused to implement the decision, while arguing that the decision hadn’t been clearly taken, that the meeting minutes didn’t specify it, or such technicalities. The Community Council clearly disagreed with that view, and, seeing that they are in theory given the ability to make such decisions, but that in practice, Hans has the technical privileges to block, override, and trump them, they considered it a farce, and resigned from the Community Council, as well as leaving the F-Droid project in its entirety (except for Izzy, who however also resigned and signed the statement I link in the OP, and who is taking an indefinite break).

I guess they didn’t realize, and didn’t like, that their project was being run by a self-appointed leader rather than by the structures that had just been carefully put in place to avoid having unclear leadership.

from the commento of the OP here https://www.reddit.com/r/fossdroid/comments/18aq3x6/comment/kbzu7e9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

So having read nothing by Scalzi until now, I was unsure if I liked him or not.

I found this short story in the same universe as Old man’s war, so that I could get an idea of what to expect.

I would say mostly everything by Asimov and Clarke.

There is an evolutional optimism that always gives me cozy feeling

You can find it in IzzyOnDroid repo

Infinity is the original app for Reddit

Eternity is the fork for Lemmy

I used infinity for Reddit, and I was using Jerboa for Lemmy.

As much as I appreciate Jerboa, Eternity offers superior experience and I switched more than a month ago. Really good app

The app: https://github.com/Oppzippy/OpenSCQ30

I love this one, especially the window mode so that it is overlayed to other apps.

It’s a shame it’s not developed anymore

I installe FB Messanger lite in the work profile via Shelter. It always stays freezed unless I want to use it.

Not an open source solution, bu the best working compromise I could find

To the great apps verybody is mentioning I want to add

Gadgetbridge

this app allows sync to a large number of smartwatches, so you don’t have to use the privacy nightmare proprietary apps from the smartwatch vendor. In my case I use it with an Amazfit Bip, and it works well

I almost never use it, but keep it on my phone, “just in case”. It is packed with small useful tools, that can com in handy at unexpected times.

I also keep the notification that warns me about sunset time 1 hour in advance, very helpful
