The public transportation app #Öffi goes #FreeSoftware after #Google delisted them from the #PlayStore and will be featured in #FDroid very soon. This is very good news for free software enthusiasts on #Android - nice job Google. 😉

Still looking for that #Öffi alternative? #Transportr by @grote just had a major rewrite and features a new design. The new version 2.0.0 is currently available via custom #FDroid repo and Play Store but the official F-Droid repo should follow suit soon.

#Tusky 2.1 is finally available via #FDroid, fixing some crash issues of the previous 2.0 release. https://f-droid.org/app/com.keylesspalace.tusky
Okay Leute. Wer von euch war das und wo bekomme ich mehr davon?
Anyone still using #Ghostery? It now displays ads to German users. Time to uninstall if you haven't done so already... https://www.ghacks.net/2018/07/10/ghostery-rewards-launches-in-germany/

@Tusky @fdroidorg ... now waiting for the crash fix via #Tusky 2.1. 🙈
Nutzt halt einfach #Transportr...

@CryptGoat @erAck @IzzyOnDroid @fdroidorg Mir ist übrigens auch nicht klar, warum der Autor die nicht endlich open-sourcet. Es gibt keinen Grund dagegen:
* er nutzt offenbar keine Tracker
* keine Werbung
* App ist kostenlos
Bitte schreibt ihn mal an und legt ihm den Gedanken nochmal nahe. Am Besten auf das aktuelle Ereignis bezug nehmen und freundlich erklären, warum FLOSS Sinn macht, wozu es da ist und wie es auch dem Maintainer/Entwickler der App hilt.

@inventaire Inventaire: An open source book exchange site, you make new friends and lend each other books 📚
Anyone here still using #Pidgin for #XMPP / #Jabber? Tried setting it up for a #OMEMO encrypted group chat - what a mess. You have to compile plugins for OMEMO and message carbons yourself. Lurch, the unofficial OMEMO plugin, has no GUI, making it extremely cumbersome to use. Considering the past 10 years of Pidgin "development" I have no hope for positive changes.
Time to abandon the old bird and move to #Gajim.
