@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.
Unfortunately, the #dwd changed the label for the rain radar forecasts at their #geoserver and also modified the image output.
This makes the rain radar fail in all #app versions prior to 0.62.8.
Version 0.62.8 is kind of an emergency update to fix this.
It should also compile and arrive at the #fdroid main #repo in a couple of days.

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:

Heute im Getränkemarkt.
Mineralwasser wird ohnehin schon aus der nahen Vulkaneifel gekauft.
Bei koffeinhaltigen Kaltgetränken und Limonaden ist das #buyeuropean und #buylocal Angebot auch schon top. Für etwaige Zweifel macht sich die BuyFromEU App ganz gut, die leider im #fdroid Store fehlt. Geschmacklich und ethisch sind viele D/EU Alternativen schon ganz weit voraus, bei Payment und #MonopolyTech sieht es noch eher dünn aus.
Immerhin gibt es nicht nur das gute #fairphone als #eu Telefon.
The website now also has the F-Droid badge next to the Google Play and App Store badges.
How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?
In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.
There are a few limitations though:
* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location
What is great:
* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access
Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).
But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.
Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.
In general I am really happy with this system.
And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.
I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.
But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.

Nur, wenn man das auch in deren Cloud synct. Man kann das auch abschalten, statt die integriere Mailapp freie, datenschutzfreundliche #OpenSource #Apps wie #FairEmail, #Firefox usw. nutzen, #Apps aus alternativen #Appstores wie #Fdroid installieren, Apps, die kein Internet brauchen, dieses entziehen (z.B. mit #Netguard). Und #Android geht auch komplett ohne #Google.

Is there any open source app (e.g. via #FDroid for speech transcription on Android? I would like to share audio with this app which then does the transcription offline on my device.
Anything with #Whisper or #CommonVoice models would be great.
KDE Connect bas been updated on Play Store for 4 days now, yet there is still no sign of the update on F-Droid! 
@nico198X I don't think it's quite meant as that type of software. If you want a true replacement of Google Photos, you'll have to look into #selfhosted software for backing up purposes. Or if it's just a photo album app you want, you could look at alternative gallery apps like #AvesLibre (on #FDroid).
I use #Syncthing to back up my photos without Google Photos, myself. I've heard good things about #Immich as a self-hosted alternative, too: https://github.com/immich-app/immich
@nilz Bezüglich der App der Sparkasse...
Meine Partnerin berichtete vom Aurora-Store, der aus dem freien #FDroid-Store installierbar ist.
Mit "#AuroraStore" kann per "anonymem" Profil ohne Google-Konto App aus dem Google Playstore installiert werden. Ob sie dann funktioniert oder wegen fehlender "Play Services" versagt, müsste untersucht/erfragt werden.
Schöner wäre, wenn Sparkasse APK zum Download oder auch bei FDROID bereitstellt. Evt via Sparkassen-Support-Anfrage auch #UnplugTrump pushen.
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) 
Die App von #WetterOnline war in den Schlagzeilen, da Datenhändler u. a. durch diese an detaillierte Standortverläufe von Benutzenden kamen.
Auch in der Bezahlversion, die ich besitze, waren Datentracker aktiv.
Ich konnte zwar vieles mit #RethinkDNS abblocken, aber bin jetzt doch gewechselt.
#BreezyWeather und #DWD #WarnWetter (Bezahlversion) haben sie bei mir ersetzt.
Das meiste macht Breezy Weather schon super. Dort fehlt nur die Wetterkarte, die WarnWetter bietet.
#FDroid builds the apps themselves.
If you want direct releases, use #Obtainium
https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android
#Thunderbird is not on #Accrescent and they don't have an own F-Droid Repo, which is a shame.
@thunderbird would be nice!
