Hey all, I'm posting a link to the petition I just signed. If you want to keep the ability to utilize 3rd party apps on Android devices this may help. Also check out the second link which contains a better description of the problem and other ways you can help.

i get to be smug about this since i don’t use any of these because of #FOSSApps

LibreOffice verbessert die Schriftarten‑Ersetzung – wichtig für alle, die Dokumente zwischen Windows, macOS und Linux austauschen

Bereits am 12.11. berichtete LibreOffice zuletzt über das "Font Replacement", die Schriftarten-Ersetzung.

🎶 Acabo de descubrir Castafiore (https://github.com/sawyerf/Castafiore), una app para escuchar música desde nuestras instancias de Navidrome.

Ideal si tienes tu propia biblioteca musical en casa 🚀
