I bought an Android digital clock app and have used it for years. It displays the time. I used it at night with dim red digits. It did all I needed. At least it did until tonight, when it started running bright ads on the bottom of the page.

F-Droid offers an app called "Just 24 Hours" which has no permissions needed and just shows the time.

I haven't used #KDEConnect for ages and had forgotten about it.

Then I wanted to control my laptop using my mobile like a TV remote and I remembered...

It is now even better than I remember. Awesome remove control of #Ubuntu #Gnome using my mobile.

#Linux is awesome - and - free!

Even better, the KDE Connect app is available on #FDroid.

EDIT: meant KDE Connect, oops, sorry.

As part of #FDroid announced #OTF funded work, we are doing a little research into #FLOSS #FOSS donations management best practices and preferences and want to hear from you!

If you have time, check out our 5 minute survey: framaforms.org/foss-developer-

Thanks

Back in April we asked you for a helping hand regarding legal matters. We got plenty of people willing to help or at least to guide us towards other like-minded projects that might have the experience we were looking for.

Our of those discussions #FDroid will publish a series of posts that go through all the lessons learned and we hope these will be useful to all #FLOSS #FOSS contributors, maintainers, and developers out there.

É simples instalar em qualquer Android o cliente do F-Droid: em páginas de https://f-droid.org/ há um botão Baixar o F-Droid, link para o arquivo F-Droid.apk a ser instalado.

🛡️ Tenha certeza de estar em páginas do domínio f-droid.org.

A dica é que, em vez de mandar o próprio navegador abrir logo o F-Droid.apk, é melhor apenas baixá-lo no armazenamento interno do aparelho e, depois, abri-lo a partir do gerenciador de arquivos do Android. Aí, teoricamente, bastará prosseguir, autorizando a instalação conforme a necessidade. ☑️

F-Droid é muito legal, né? Caso permaneçam dúvidas, pode perguntar!

Non, mais là il faut mesurer le délire. Sous prétexte de protéger les enfants (comme d'hab), il s'agirait d'obliger tout le monde à se soumettre à #Google !!!

Là, c'est tellement idiot, révoltant, impraticable, qu'on ne sait plus quoi dire.

@olikilo Funny, I gave a presentation about mobile privacy at work this year ;)

I think realistically, hiding completely is impossible. However, you can regain a lot more privacy by using private Open Source Android apps from #IzzyOnDroid and #FDroid instead of closed source apps filled with trackers. I personally recommend using Droid-ify as it is simple and preconfigures both IzzyOnDroid and F-Droid: apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/a.
