This is a follow-up/part two on my vaguely privacy focused or #opensource #Android app articles.
While last time I was sharing three pics on games you can get from #Fdroid this is instead just a whole bunch of apps I used and recommend you try!
From a bird identification app to utilities, music and YouTube clients, and more. I love F-droid (or Droid-ify which lets me have an all-in-one), so read on if you want way too much detail and even some step-by-steps!

Zamiast siać ferment wokół afery w Poznaniu, warto zacząć działać i edukować się, w jaki sposób firmy oraz aplikacje zbierają o nas dane i tworzą całe profile behawioralne. Odzyskanie kontroli nad telefonem nie wymaga wiedzy eksperckiej, a najważniejsze kroki, od neutralizacji identyfikatora reklamowego i ukrytego skanowania Wi Fi czy Bluetooth, przez blokowanie tła, aż po wdrożenie prywatnego DNS, można wykonać samodzielnie podczas krótkiej przerwy na kawę.
Jak krok po kroku zabezpieczyć swoje urządzenie i świadomie zarządzać prywatnością:

Can anyone recommend any TRULY offline android games? I've been burned by "offline" games in the Play store that still require some form of online auth. Thanks!
My first company, Opera, was built on word of mouth. The same applies to my 2nd company, @Vivaldi. We have never had the means that Big Tech has. In the case of Vivaldi, we have even avoided investors, to not end up like Opera.
We have also made it harder for our selves. We likely could have generated more funds through adding stuff like Crypto, AI or just plain old data collection in the browser, but we choose not to. We are also not an Ad company like most of our larger competitors. Instead we have added a wealth of features and customization.
Now people are starting to understand that just going with Big Tech may be easy to start with, but ends up not being worth it. In fact we now have governments and companies thinking that they need to move away from Big Tech and quickly.
We welcome you all.

Android folks, regarding screen rotation: Are you aware of an app that makes the screen rotation err more to vertical rather than horizontal? Once my screen is horizontal I need to get the phone nearly perfectly vertical before it will rotate back to vertical. It's super annoying and seems to be getting worse. It's a Moto g 5g (2022) Android version 13. Thoughts?
WTF. Samsung did an update and crammed my phone full of Google AI bullshit. Without my consent. I already had as much of that shit turned off as possible.
There needs to be a good universal Android alternative that id degoogled. Everything I have found doesn't work with my Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, SM-a166U phone. #Android #Samsung #AI #DeGoogle

Lekcja prywatności z Poznania. Czego uczy nas "afera" wokół Pyrkonu?
W sieci zawrzało po wycinku z posiedzenia poznańskich urzędników. Zamiast jednak robić wir w szklance wody, warto spojrzeć na chłodne fakty.
Prawdziwym źródłem danych dla brokerów informacji nie są urzędy miast, ale smartfony, które codziennie nosimy w kieszeniach, a dokładniej oprogramowanie, które sami na nich instalujemy.
Zamiast liczyć na to, że obroni nas RODO, musimy wziąć sprawy we własne ręce. W artykule opisuję jak działają mechanizmy śledzenia, dlaczego oddajemy prywatność za zniżki u operatorów i jak za pomocą narzędzi takich jak Exodus Privacy odzyskać kontrolę nad telefonem.

Fileless RCE on stock Android (~2.5B devices). Reported to Google VRP, confirmed by their own engineering team, closed as NSBC anyway.

Updated #murena_eos to version 4.0. From a major version upgrade I expect some changes. So far I haven't noticed anything but a few new icons. Well, better than braking things, I guess. 😅
So, apparently Android backup as implemented on stock Google Pixel phones does not let you temporarily pause phone backups without deleting the backup from Google Drive.
Which, just speaking theoretically of course, you might want to do if you want to delete a bunch of shit from your phone before passing through border control and then, after you're clear, factory reset the phone and restore from backup to get everything back.

Google is marching ahead in locking down Android, via its developer registration mandate.
I am hopeful that we will find a way - through regulatory intervention or otherwise - to preserve software freedom on Android, including for apps available via @fdroidorg , but I am not overly optimistic.
(Sure, it doesn't affect non-Google Android, but that is irrelevant to many, many Android users.)

Seit Android 12 lässt sich leider nicht mehr „Kein Standardbrowser“ auswählen. Man muss also immer einen Browser festlegen, in dem Links aus anderen Apps geöffnet werden. Das kann unpraktisch sein, wenn man je nach Anwendung oder Webseite unterschiedliche Browser verwenden möchte.

For a decade I carried two iPhones: one personal, one for work. Neither ever felt at home in my Linux and BSD world.
Now it's a single Fairphone Gen6. Repairable with a screwdriver, 8 years of updates, separate work and personal profiles on one device, and it actually talks to my KDE desktop over KDE Connect.
Immich, Nextcloud, K-9 Mail, Tusky, KeePassDX, and finally GPG mail in my pocket. The camera is meh. Everything else is a clear win.

I exported all the bookmark-lists as .kmz files and opened each one of them with CoMaps. No issues, all the bookmarks are there. Then I enabled automatic backups, weekly, keeping 3 versions 👌🏽
