♦ FDroid mirror repositories

Maybe FDroid's default repository is slow to connect for you. It's kind of overloaded, and so several mirrors have been created.

Right now, they are:
-- https://f-droid.org/repo
-- rsync://mirror.f-droid.org/
-- https://fdroid.tetaneutral.net/fdroid/repo
-- https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/fdroid/repo
-- https://bubu1.eu/fdroid/repo
-- https://fdroid.swedneck.xyz/fdroid/repo
-- https://ftp.fau.de/fdroid/repo
-- http://fauftpffbmvh3p4h.onion/fdroid/repo
-- https://mirror.jarsilio.com/fdroid/repo

And all the mirrors will always be listed at:
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/mirror-monitor/#active-mirrors

Just disable the main FDroid repository (some mirrors may even ask you to delete it), add any one of these and enable it, refresh, and make FDroid suck a lot less.

F-Droid: Free and Open Source Apps - Take back control! (Part 5)

1. app store with class

By installing LineageOS, we have abandoned our proprietary Android systems and taken control of outbound data traffic with AFWall+. But our journey is far from over, because to get rid of Google and to regain control we have to break away from the Google Play Store.

Most apps from the Google Play Store contain an above-average number of tracker and advertising modules. In the foreseeable future, this business model will probably not change because Android is a self-service data store with which (questionable) developers make a lot of money. Indirectly, Google also earns a lot of money - so Android users can wait in vain for an improvement.

In this article I would like to introduce you to the alternatives App-Store F-Droid. F-Droid is a consumer-friendly alternative to Google's Play Store, which only offers "free" and "open source" apps for download. The two properties "free" and "open source" mean basically nothing else than that the app source code can be viewed, used, changed and further developed by anyone. With its strict "Free Open Source Software (FOSS)" concept, F-Droid clearly sets itself apart from the Google Play Store and other comparable stores.

Welcome a new Fennec F-Droid

https://forum.f-droid.org/t/welcome-a-new-fennec-f-droid/11113
By relan F-Droid Contributor
10 days ago

I have just submitted 300 a Fennec update to 81.1.1. Should be available soon™. This version brings a lot of changes, like a new UI and modular codebase. The bad news:

Mozilla now tracks you even more actively using proprietary 3rd party services. I removed all tracking I found. (Firebase, Adjust and Leanplum libraries were replaced with stubs, so some analyzers can erroneously report their presence in the APK.)

The new UI may break your habits and disappoint you. (IMHO it’s not that bad as one can conclude from reading r/Firefox.)

Android 5.0 or later is now required. Mozilla decided so.

x86 devices are not supported anymore. I stumbled upon linkage errors and gave up. Help is welcome.

The good news is that Fennec F-Droid is alive and continues to be truly free software.

IzzyOnDroid@mastodon.technology - For those who missed it, and those who want to repeat it: the recording of our first training session / talk on "F-Droid App Review" is online now

https://libre.video/videos/watch/5d32d19d-e012-4b6c-a962-14e670f1648b​

I've created a new channel for it, as hopefully more are to come (and hopefully also in better quality than this "quick cut", I'm out of training in video editing):

https://libre.video/video-channels/foss/videos​

#fdroid #foss #contribution #getInvolved #android #apps​

IzzyOnDroid@mastodon.technology - Now there comes the long awaited "little 🌧" (still more in the queue) at #fdroid – 9 new apps and 66 updated! Newcomers include e.g.

* Ariane: a Gemini browser
* Freenet mobile: access the censor-free P"P Freenet network
* Just Another Workout Timer
* OCR: Tesseract-based text recognition
* Package Manager: manage your apps

and more. Take your pick!

#PCAPdroid #android #fdroid #app

IzzyOnDroid@mastodon.technology - Drizzle in my repo today with 2 new apps. Most prominently:

Watomatic – to help those of you still stuck at WhatsApp to leave that s(t)inking ship without being afraid "nobody can find you": it sends auto-responses to everyone writing you, telling them you've left and where to look. So: no more excuses, here's your door! https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.parishod.watomatic​

Further running: SpaceXFollower (SpaceX events, facts, statistics) and Auxio, a nice music player, added yesterday.

Enjoy #foss #Android #apps with #fdroid!

IzzyOnDroid@floss.social - @fdroidorg now passed the mark of 100 apps using #reproducibleBuilds (factor 10 to a year ago) – about 9 out of 10 apps recently added opted for that extra step.

What does this mean to you?

* you know #FDroid builds from source
* you see the app is signed by the developer
* => double trust!
* plus: cross-updates. Already have the app installed from Play? Seamlessly switch over to F-Droid for the extra trust!

Expect more and more #Android #apps at F-Droid using this :awesome:

🔴 App download / install / manage

Google PlayStore™ can be installed with #minmicrog and other microg installers. Some apps you bought with a Google account may require it to check for licenses.
If it doesn't work check possible solutions here: https://t.me/NoGoolag/19314 ( #issues )

You can buy apps with your Google account from a web browser and then download it with Google playstore / Aurora Store / Yalp Store

Don't buy apps to Google, you're financing that evil corporation with the 30% cut they take from every app sold
