Only apps from one #FDroid cycle were analysed? Was that easy? What will it take to follow each cycle or scan all >4.3K #Android apps?

And a poll: How did you find the report conclusions?

🎉 A major milestone for open source graphics on Android: Turnip is now the first Mesa driver to achieve official Vulkan conformance on Android.

The work also brings improved Android integration, shared Vulkan runtime infrastructure, and real-device CI testing on Qualcomm Adreno hardware.

#fauxx #batteryDrain #android

I'm not happy with this. 17 mins screentime after 7 hours and fauxx is already the main culprit 🫠 uninstalling for now

Wtf #Thunderbird on #android has no filters on its own 🫪
basically not usable as a standalone without the desktop client that applies filters 🫠

Any #android #foss calendar recommendations that go with #caldav?

I'm syncing from #Nextcloud and my main requirement for the android app is to handle timezones correctly.

Currently using #fossify but I don't see any option for timezones...

I would like to choose the timezone when setting up an event and also view the calendar from a chosen timezone. Basically the same features that I can use in Nextcloud on the web-browser.

Any recommendations?

CN: Nextcloud on Android

lmao the legendary issue no. 19 (on-going since june 2016) got locked just now 😆😆😆 (Allow 2-way-sync)

it had turned into a comment section where people just kept on going in a circle where they would recommend non-free software to do the job

@eteryu #Google already gatekeeps targedSdk, each new Android will block older "unsecure". Today about 33% of apps in the #FDroid repo are built reproducible signed by the developers. F-Droid & Basic clients can update unattended on Android 12+ since early 2024. Apps are sandboxed by your Android, we function as a "package manager for #Android". We have some checks in place, but true, we can't check billions of line of code (half by AI now 🙃). We trust the devs, but we also verify, is that bad?

More than 200k users said NO!

More than 70 organisations signed a letter saying NO!

#FDroid wrote posts on why NOT!

We've talked with you and your representatives, around the world.

We've made the #KeepAndroidOpen website to explain it.

If you read the #Android tech news, you saw it.

If you use a search engine, you found it.

If you've asked their own #Gemini, you got the summary.

But who didn't see, hear or read anything from above? Yes, #Google

Didn't touch the phone in that timeframe. What the fuck is this app doing. My phone was super hot when I picked it up just now -.-

Just checked and it is running in optimized battery mode 🤔
