(2/2🧶)
I am trying to backup not just the app, but all associated data (save progress, configurations, source code, binaries, everything) Data on these apps goes all the way back to 2009 or earlier.
I want this Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (almost 6 years old now) to be my final Android device.
Am I doing this right? Is my data bundled inside the APK/APK+ files? Are they installable (in a virtual machine, sometime in the future)
Android has been one of the 3 major hurdles I still can't cross to degoogle my life (the other 2 being YouTube, and Golang (which seems to be used on so many programs I use) GMAIL is a 4th hurdle, but it is a lot smaller. A lot of the apps are Internet based, and won't run, but I still value their preservation.

macOS, Nextcloud and GTD

My adventures with Emacs and Orgmode failed, and ultimately didn't serve my needs. I started considering proprietary alternatives to pure GNU/GPL solutions for my personal data management. The prospect of switching to proprietary software was daunting, but worked well in this case. Access to calendar, tasks and contact lists works well in a multi-platform, multi-user way.

It's crazy — Facebook joined the Data Transfer Project in July 2018, and the best they can do is have you download your Twitter backup and then upload following.js to Threads to match usernames. www.threads.net/settings/fol... #NewThreads #DataLiberation

Interested in #DigitalPreservation and #archiving? The @muckrock team is looking for volunteers for their #DataLiberation project.

"Since 2022, the Data Liberation Project — a volunteer effort led by data journalist Jeremy Singer-Vine — has used [Freedom of Information Act] laws and web scraping to make a wide range of government data sets public and usable.

Their efforts have helped newsrooms and the public keep an eye on [Transportation Security Administration] complaints, explore data on over 58,000 boating accidents and examine an expansive collection of hazardous material transportation reports."

Just spitballing and imagining #WordPress importer tooling that converted your content to Blocks, imported all hotlinked images to the media library, set featured images automatically, and automatically did a replace on your old/new domain...

#dataliberation

I recently bought a Kobo Libra 2 ereader to replace my beloved (and dead) Kindle Paperwhite.
After a rough start (wouldn't connect to the WiFi, website is a bit shit) its turning out to be a lovely device.
Now... are there any #dataLiberation tools I should know about. I want access to my stats damn it!
