Bruh seriously!? It seems the latest version (2026.1.1) of @bitwarden Android app are something went wrong right now as passkey login for Firefox-based browsers are considering aren't supported anymore which it's kinda strange to see why some Firefox-based browsers are already faced like that.
Because of that, I decided to downgrading its app to 2025.12.1 which this is the last version are remain supporting its passkey login for Firefox-based browsers until the bitwarden dev team/contributors are soon to addressing this problem.

Looking for an alternative to on my . While I appreciate the work that the company has put into the phone and software, and feel its reasonably secure, it still needs a non-Google OS for me to trust it 💯. Yes, I've turned Gemini and all other crap off on the phone.

None of the current offerings support a foldable unless its a which, as this is my sole computing device (via Dex) is a non-starter.

TL;DR Looking for 12+ testers to publish Fediverse Android Client on Google Play Store.

Hello Fedipeople and friends of infinite scrolling. Contrary to the we're not backwards oriented.
In fact I have forked and fixed Moshidon, the client.
I'm trying to get it published on the Google Play Store.

I opened a PR with a fix but Moshion's maintainer didn't react and the last release was over 6 months ago, so I forked and set up automated improvements both in terms of performance and security and accessibility.

The app was modernized and migrated to AndroidX and appkit.
It went through 2 ChatGPT weekly subscriptions worth of refactoring and reviews and also manual testing and reviews.
75 commits have been made so far since it was forked from Moshidon.

The github repo can be found at
https://github.com/dlukt/techidon

Testers can join closed testing at

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.icod.techidon
on Android

or

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/de.icod.techidon
on web.

Aka those are the links Google Play provided for closed testing.

Seeking at least 12 testers who will keep the app installed for at least 2 weeks.
"Run your closed test with at least 12 testers, for at least 14 days"
