#Tuta, l'app di posta elettronica criptata e open source, è ora scaricabile su #Fdroid bypassando il #playstore di#Google

Secondo me: bravi

Ricordo che gli sviluppatori di #Tuta hanno da tempo eliminato i sistemi di notifica di Google per l'app Android

Secondo me: bravi

Disclosure: non lavoro per Tuta né ricevo alcuna forma di compenso da parte loro
Ritengo semplicemente importante avere servizi - quali che siano - che ci liberino dalla sorveglianza Bigtech

Ich habe einen Threema-Account, den ich per google-play gekauft habe. Der google-account besteht nicht mehr und seit einiger zeit kann ein update der threema-app, die mit einem threema-account verknüpft ist, der mit einer google-id bezahlt wurde, auch nur aus dem play-store heruntergeladen werden, wenn spezifisch diese google-id angemeldet ist. Die Threema-app läuft aber nur, wenn die app upgedatet wurde.

Ich benötige also eine aktuelle threema.apk (installations-datei) aus dem play-store. Diese befindet sich entweder nach dem herunterladen aus dem play-store auf dem android-gerät oder kann aus einem installierten google-threema mit einem tool wie der app "APK Extractor" (oder vergleichbare tools) erzeugt werden.

So ein Mist und schlimme UX.

Wollte die #Pixelfed App im Google #playstore installieren.

Suche nach "Pixelfed".
Erstes vermeintliche Suchergebnis: Instagram. Als "Anzeige" klein gekennzeichnet. "Installieren" Button sieht wie normal aus. Habe Installieren automatisch gedrückt. Zum Glück gleich wieder abgebrochen.

Instagram hat wohl Angst....

You have probably seen this #viral #infographic on #eu #digitalsovereignty by #reddit user u/lukakopajtic. It was viral but not very accurate 😅 recommending #bluesky and #firefox as "EU alternatives"? How? Anyway, he just updated the infographic, and it's much, much better! Most issues have been corrected. I think there is still a couple of issues I disagree with: 1) recommending #matrix instead of #jabber #xmpp 2) recommending #lineageos instead of #grapheneos (but OK, I can understand this if the focus is on self-sovereignty only), 3) recommending #droidify instead of #accrescent (but, even here, I can understand if the goal is to replace #playstore ), and 4) recommending #thunderbird as a comparison to #gmail (nothing wrong with Thunderbird, but that's an email client, not a Gmail-like suite provider, I would have rather recommended #mailfence or #mailbox ). Kudos for the initiative though, the intentions are good!

Google Confirms Play Store App Deletion—What You Do Now

What a week for Play Store. Google has been busy with its delete button, with multiple threats sneaking their way inside Android’s best secured app vault. Not a good look. And all this has come hot on the tail of the latest warning that Android is under attack.
