Thank you so much, @fdroidorg !

Are we going to see the updated Tubular any time soon?

Ganz ehrlich , wenn man in drei Tagen viermal im den Shop kommen muss, sollte man langsam damit aufhören, jedesmal danach per SMS um Feedback zu bitten.
Soo zufrieden wird man ja nun nicht sein. 😵‍💫

@mho das klingt zugegeben nervig, aber es bringt ja auch nichts, nur zufriedene Kunden zu fragen, wenn man realistisches Feedback einsammeln möchte.

Irland: Ehemalige Meta-Lobbyistin wird Datenschutzbeauftragte

Die Ernennung der früheren Lobbyistin Niamh Sweeney zur Datenschutzbeauftragten sorgt vor allem außerhalb von Irland für Irritation.

@heiseonline ich habe erst Metal-Hobbyisten gelesen und das hätte mir mehr Freude gemacht. :(

fixed update is live. Go go go.

update is crashing tough, so net fixes score still zero 🤷

@fdroidorg I suppose in numbers installed you come out with a net positive. 👍

PSA: If you haven't updated to 12.0, please don't update it. It will crash on start if you use the unified inbox. The bug has been fixed in 12.1 and will be available in the next update. is not affected, kind reminder to consider switching as K-9 will go away in the future anyway.

Workaround for now: Make a widget for a single mailbox, then you can open K-9, you can change accounts and disable unified inbox.

@fdroidorg don't worry, they said. You will always be able to choose between k-9 and Thunderbird, they said. K-9 will not be replaced, they said. 😅

@ralphruthe warum ist das Produkt nicht von Knurr?

Here's another idea: After reading:
https://disconnect.blog/getting-off-us-tech-a-guide/ by @parismarx I had the idea of creating something similar to the Wordle-result, but for your and where it's from.
Like a simple template, where you could click on what you're using – say as or provider – and there is a nice output like:
Browser: 🇳🇴 = ✅
Mail: 🇺🇸 = ❌
But for much more...
This way one could share how far one is on their path to digital sovereignty/leaving US-products.

What do you think?

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year
Google says it's no different than checking IDs at the airport.

GitHub has gone - long live Forgejo ( @forgejo ).

Fully migrated out of Microsoft’s walled garden after they blocked us:

  • 54k commits
  • 9.5k issues
  • 4.3k pull requests
  • 100k comments

Everything moved. Nothing left behind.

You don't want to limit yourself to a single device category & want to use your TUXEDO flexibly?

The TUXEDO InfinityFlex 14 offers you three different modes: Laptop-, Monitor-, Tablet mode.
