@virgil_tibbs @kuketzblog Dito. Seid 4 Wochen ist auch das Handy umgestellt: gebrauchtes Pixel 9, #grapheneos mit #fdroid und #aurorastore drauf - seither frage ich mich, warum ich damit so lange gewartet habe. Positive side effect: ich komme mit einer Akkuladung praktisch 2 Tage aus. Spart auch noch Energie.
Falls Ihr eine gute App fürs #FEDIVERSE auf einem Android Gerät sucht, dann solltet Ihr einen Blick auf #Fedilab werfen
Die Macher.innen von @apps machen einen super Job 
Die App bietet viele Anpassungsmöglichkeiten und wird ständig verbessert. Dabei werden die Nutzer.innen mit einbezogen
Ihr bekommt #Fedilab über den #Fdroid Store:

For my personal calendar, I have #Radicale 3.4.1 installed on a #Debian VPS. It works great, accessing it from #Thunderbird, or the "Fossify Calendar" (from #FDroid) in #Android. I can read and write events from both clients.
I was gifted an iPad, and the default Calendar app lets me have read-only access (only!) to Radicale. When it comes to writing events, that lofty privilege is reserved for iCloud Calendars only, not those riff-raff Calendars that use CalDAV.
Edit: I eventually sorted it out.
I opened a Github "Discussion" thread (for Radicale) on this:
https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/discussions/1755
I guess the moral of this story is: Thunderbird, and Fossify Calendar, thanks for being sane! Also, kudos to #Davx5, which I also rely upon a lot in Android, for my CardDAV contacts to work properly - also stored in Radicale.
PS: #Apple is really hoity-toity. I would never choose into buying an Apple device myself, ever again. #DataSovereignty is next to impossible. #OpenSource

#Trump cuts funding to FOSS projects

> So far he hasn't been successful, but it might simply be a matter of time.
For example this is Let's Encrypt, Tor and F-Droid.
I'd like to recommend @pachli - the #Fediverse (#Mastodon) client.
They seem to fix #UX issues, regularly - it's currently actively maintained, as far as i can tell. (i'm getting my updates via #FDroid)
Also, it's the (continental) European kind of #FLOSS flavour. (It's Swiss-made, afaik - close enough to EU - well, the name has a Swiss origin - that's #EU enough, for my taste, for now) 
I want to make a special calendar (sort of "wheel of year") for my spiritual practice. But I don't want use Google Calendar for that. Any alternative app suggestions?
PS: Still have to use Android. but ok with F-droid apps

To people getting crashes when translating media descriptions, it's fixed in 3.31.2. Not yet available on #FDroid (3.31.2 and 3.31.3 should be available soon).
@fdroidorg Yes of course, I'm more and more using #FDroid but I'm stuck with Google Play for a lot of apps.
The huge version of #Fedilab (3.31.1) was compiled by #FDroid. We are sorry for that, we thought to have made everything to avoid that (3.31.1 exists in a smaller release).
This important difference in size is due to the use of a library that allows to locally detect the language used in a message. We needed it for MinT translator that doesn't support auto detection.
We immediately removed this lib and we used the language attached to a message (though it is not perfect)
Really sorry for that

Hello Fediverse, after a long and dreadful march of persuasion through my contacts, I'm finally about to uninstall #Whatsapp. However, there's a group of people that organizes there, so I want to ask you:
Is there some #Fdroid app or other method to bridge Whatsapp messages to #Telegram or #Signal? I know interoperability is a big ask, but jusg being able to read when they meet would be enough.
Boosts appreciated, so if a solution is found, more people get to know about it!
Vazy f-droid ils va vous falloir encore combien de temps pour distribuer la v1 de Ente qui est sortie ce week-end ?
