Despite my foss journey being very young - I only started digging and liberating myself this april -, I've gotten very far and never wanna turn back anymore. All started with my turn from Youtube and the like to RSS. It still boggles my mind on how much foss software I've already relied on without knowing: VLC Mediaplayer, Firefox, LibreOffice, Gimp, Signal, Seal, Drip, …
And now, that Google aims to heighten the barrier of entry into the foss world by soon prohibiting non-gplay installations, the small world I built for myself (on my phone, ignoring my now Linux PC) seems to fade as quickly as it grew. I am certain, that if given no other choice, I will turn to another operating system like LineageOS. But for me, a big part of the fun of this foss movement, was spreading the message around to my not so tech-savvy friends. With a higher barrier of entry, they are less likely to follow - and I fear I will drift apart. I'm already alienated by people casually using big-tech spyware in their day-to-day and feel urged to comment on it.
I know I can't save everyone… But the foss movement is an increasingly important part of antifascism. How can I spread the antifascist message of foss to like-minded people who are afraid of using a terminal? How will I go about it, once (if) this foss world is shut out even more on android? (for Linux, I at least have the https://endof10.org campaign)

YaxAprès l'installation de #grapheneos je poursuis l'effort en réduisant les applications du PlayStore. Je viens de remplacer GitJournal qui ne semble plus très maintenu par GitNotes. #fossdroid

🎶 Acabo de descubrir Castafiore (https://github.com/sawyerf/Castafiore), una app para escuchar música desde nuestras instancias de Navidrome.
📲 Se puede descargar directamente y ya han iniciado el proceso para aparecer en F-Droid.
✨ El diseño es muy bonito, se actualiza de forma recurrente… ¡y además la he traducido al castellano y al catalán! 💜
Ideal si tienes tu propia biblioteca musical en casa 🚀
BrooksPlease 🚀. I'm going to stop short of saying you should not install the #ICEBlock app, but you should know that you're painting a giant target on your back if you use it, and it does not protect your information adequately. The Trump administration is not being coy about how they see this app and it's users, citing charges of obstruction of justice and general threats of prosecution.
The developer ignorantly insists the only way to safely use it is through iOS app store. That ignores the fact that Apple collects data on what users are installing what apps. It also ignores that the gov has been intercepting push notifications for several years now, so it would be as simple as comparing that data against those who receive push notifications at specific times to determine who is using the app.
The app is also closed-source, so the community cannot inspect it for vulnerabilities.
If they distributed through a 3rd party app store on Android, such as #fdroid (which you cannot do on iOS), they could allow users to run their own notification system using #unifiedpush. Google would not be involved at any stage.
Yes, this would be a high barrier to entry for use, but I think the usecase demands it. Almost certainly we will soon see prosecution for the apps' users and probably also removal from the App Store. Apple most certainly does not care enough to fight the government over this.
That is, unless, as I suspect, this app is actually a #honeypot.

Liam HughesI've been looking more and more into using free and open source apps recently. Does anybody have any recommendations for an Android phone? No particular theme, just want to know what people use.
