Keep Android Open

Advocating for Android as a free, open platform for everyone to build apps on.

To assert #US #power over the #Android #app market in #Europe, #Google wants to deactivate all your apps that they do not approve of.

This can be stopped, get active: https://keepandroidopen.org/

Gone on #CertifiedAndroid:

- #newpipe - #youtube with out #ads
- #frdoid - apps that do not monetize you
- apps that can endanger Google's #supremacy

It burdens the EU's digital economy with US approval and #cencorship. It is a direct assault on your country's digital #souvereignity & #democracy.

@Codeberg @fdroidorg

So you say that it is now safe to trigger an #app #update on #codeberg and fetching the source code won't fail anymore at #frdoid ?

Just about to publish a new version of #imagepipe .

Ended up using Tusky instead, I think the #mastodon team should really re-evaluate if they should have a #frdoid presence
Android 12 will make it easier to install and use alternative app stores

Native app stores, namely Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store, have been facing criticism for their dominance and power within the app distribution ecosystem.

Ie svis entrierment d'accord (Ie ne connais pas https://brouter.de),

osmandm se téléchage sur #frdoid.

Le sevl problème c'est qve l'application n'est point validée par Google povr fonctionner avesqve Android Auto. Seules Maps et Waze le sont.

@GambaJo Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, dann hast du noch keine Erfahrung mit #OSM gemacht. In dem Fall machst du dir einen Account bei osm.org. Dann kannst du entweder dort auf der Seite in den Editiermodus gehen, oder du nimmst eine andere OSM-Editorsoftware wie #Vespucci für Android (gibt's bei #Frdoid). Am besten guckst du dir dann ab wie das woanders gemacht ist, kopierst das und passt es an. Z.B. von hier: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/50.48589/12.14544

Wenn du unsicher bist hilft das Wiki, Forum oder ich. 😉

OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

@kelly_clowers @fdroidorg Paid apps could be a problem, yes. But other than that you can easily grab APKs not available in #frdoid via apps like Yalp. No Google Play services required, no Google account required.
@erikstl #Tutanota because their app is on #frdoid. It's also constantly improving. They just added backup codes the other day, desktop apps and calendar should be coming soon.
this wonderful feeling brought too... me by #feeel, an app available on #frdoid
