they become real glued to the phones, that's all I know. the problem is, I am somewhere between this and the previous generation. Don't know if I wish to count myself lucky, but I think I do, as I very often if not all the time use the phone only to read books, so, not even next to me unless I have to switch chapters, or the computer for that matter. the internet can really. Fry your brain. I did not want to say it, but I said it so now it is a thing. The addiction is real. You look at all these people and kids walking and staring at their phones, then they have the audacity to even yell at you because you see, you accidentally pushed them or hit them with a cane. Well, not my fault you're not looking. :)

We long ago reached the point where the social relations of production became incompatible with further development of the forces of production. It's more profitable for private equity and other vulture capital to buy up productive capacity, and asset-strip and enshittify it.

So it looks like @protonprivacy made their Proton Mail app proprietary – or do I miss something? On the PlayStore there's a v4.0.6, while the Github repo at github.com/ProtonMail/proton-m… didn't see any commit since last October, and has v3.0.17 as latest release.
I hope I'm wrong here and just missed a note that you moved the repo to e.g. Codeberg or so?
@smartwater Looking at the detais at Appbrain, it's clearly 4.0.6 – or we're talking about a different app. But it says "ch.protonmail.android" which is what's currently in my repo as well. And the changelog there says 4.x was released 2024-02-29 – but the Github repo has no new code. @protonprivacy
Proton recently got a new Android app into their Betas, rewritten in Kotlin+Compose
This one has a bumped version number, but I didn't think it's in production yet 🤔 Either way I don't think they maliciously and suddenly made Proton Mail on Android proprietary but rather haven't pushed the new changes yet.
Note that we open source our apps once they are fully released. The new rewritten Proton Mail Android has not yet been made available to all the users. However, this will happen very soon.
Thanks for clarification! (Might be a good idea to have that in the Readme of the repo 😉)
I assume the answer to my question I've sent by mail several weeks ago (concerning per-ABI builds, as the "fat build" exceeds the allowed per-app size in my repo almost by factor 3) will come soon then as well? With multiple downloads/installs *per hour* according to the logs I guess you'd like me to keep the app available there, and your customers happy 😉
After 10 updated apps yesterday, today's #AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid brings you 6 updated and 2 added apps – one of them the next piece of your green Fossify collection:
* Keepass Fidelity: Membership/Loyalty Card plugin for Keepass2Android * Fossify Clock: Handy, lightweight, open-source clock app with essential features
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
@radasbona Nein. Da kann nur der Entwickler etwas machen. Nämlich den versionCode passend "gestalten". Offensichtlich verwendet die Version in meinem Repo einen höheren versionCode als die neuere bei F-Droid. Yupp: 83 bei F-Droid, 1003 bei mir. Ich tippe auf Flutter (bingo) und dessen unglückliches Default-Versioning (bei per-ABI Builds immer 1000 * ABI-Code drauf zu addieren).
Wundere mich dennoch, warum Canta bei mir nicht aktuell ist. Schaue ich mir gleich an.
@radasbona verrückt. Gerade manuell ein Update *nur für Canta* angestoßen, und die aktuelle Version wird gezogen. Die liegt dort aber bereits seit einer Woche. Warum das normale Update sie nicht aufgegriffen hat, verstehe ich nicht…
Wie dem auch sei: Mit dem morgigen Index-Update sollte Dein Problem gelöst sein – allerdings mit einer 32bit Version, da F-Droid nicht das Flutter-Versioning übernommen hat. Das muss der Entwickler oder F-Droid beheben.
Schon mal danke. 👍 Geht es eigentlich nicht die alte APK Version einfach rauslöschen aus dem Repo und neu einzulesen? 🤔 oder kommt der der falsche Version Code dann wieder als aktuell daher?
Canta scheint mehr Baustellen zu haben. Die aktuelle 1.4.1 ist seit Anfang März auf Github aber wird bis jetzt nicht von fdroid gebaut.
@radasbona Der versionCode ist in der APK-Datei verankert. Löschen und neu einlesen ändert daran nichts. Warte noch anderthalb Stunden, dann schau in meinem Blog vorbei: Heute Nacht gibt es neue Artikel. Bei mir, und auch im Kuketzblog. Da findest Du den versionCode dann im Abschnitt zum AndroidManifest 😉
Und bei F-Droid wurde in den letzten Tagen wohl kaum etwas gebaut – was aber andere Gründe hatte…
@radasbona uff. Jetzt sehe ich was da los war. OK, habe die 1.1.1 entfernt: die Entwickler haben (wahrscheinlich bei Aufnahme in F-Droid) die dusselige Versionierung von Flutter abgeschaltet, und sind auf vernünftige Versionierung umgestiegen. Daher sind die Updates hier halt jedes Mal als "zu alt" gelöscht worden, weil der versionCode kleiner war als bei der vorhandenen Version 🙈
Dein Problem sollte sich damit vollständig lösen, sobald F-Droid wieder aktuell ist.
Alt text to images. :) it is supposed to describe what is on an image. E.G. The picture is of a piano, and a person is sitting playing. I am not the best at explanations, and it's a bad example, but it helps visually impaired blind and those who have troubles loading images, as well as others, that also makes sure your posts with media get boosted, as there are people who won't boost media without alt text. :)

I'm not an NVDA user beyond needed testing for work, but I still don't get why they have those two confusing mode. In JAWS it's super simple: forms mode on, forms mode off. Or, if you prefer, virtual cursor mode on, virtual cursor mode off.
@André Polykanine @Seedy Three Sixty Isn't forms mode analogous to forms mode on and browse mode analogous to forms mode off when comparing NVDA with jaws? Other than different terminology these features are very similar. I think there are very minor differences if there are some at all.
NVDA's Browse mode = browsing, reading, consuming content. You can use single letter navigation keys (eg H for heading) to move.
Focus mode = filling in forms, editing text. No single letter navigation because you need to be able to type letters into the Word document or web search.
NVDA switches automatically, but has customisability if you don't want that. (André, aside from familiarity, I'm curious why you find it more confusing than Jaws?)
@NikJov @menelion @daygar @vol4life8657 Also, if you ARE coming from Jaws, a good first starting point is the "Switching from Jaws to NVDA" guide from: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/… - which does cover focus and browse modes among many other things (but please do let us know if anything is missing)
@daygar It takes practise, and also a use case - I can walk you through using it, but if you don't ACTUALLY need to use it regularly, you won't have a reason to retain it :) In 2023.2 we introduced flattened object navigation keys - you can use these to move through everything on screen without needing to go into and out of objects, that might be simpler to start with? (NVDA+numpad 9 and 3 in desktop layout or NVDA+shift+[ and ] in laptop layout).
@vol4life8657 @daygar Note that is $100 AUD. Works out to more like $60-$70 USD. That's what, 1/4 of an SMA for certain other screen readers? Also the exam itself is completely free to sit, so if you just want to know "if you know enough" you can find that out without any cost :)
The famous Alain Connes on how each mathematician develops their own personal take on the subject. It often begins with rebellion:
"The scientific life of mathematicians can be pictured as a trip inside the geography of the 'mathematical reality' which they unveil gradually in their own private mental frame.
It often begins by an act of rebellion with respect to the existing dogmatic description of that reality that one will find in existing books. The young 'to be mathematician' realizes in their own mind that their perception of the mathematical world captures some features which do not fit with the existing dogma. This first act is often due in most cases to ignorance but it allows one to free oneself from the reverence to authority by relying on one's intuition provided it is backed by actual proofs. Once mathematicians get to really know, in an original and 'personal' manner, a small part of the mathematical world, as esoteric as it can look at first, their trip can really start. It is of course vital not to break the 'thread of Ariadne' which allows one to constantly keep a fresh eye on whatever one will encounter along the way, and also to go back to the source if one feels lost at times."
However, that is just the first stage! He goes on....
#DoctorWho serial “The Caves of Androzani” was brilliant. I absolutely loved it. Great writing from Robert Holmes, great atmosphere, pacing & performances, great direction from Graeme Harper, and Peter Davison is on top form here. I’m sad it’s his final serial. Time for Dr no. 6.
"Caves" is one of my favorite DW stories. It's one of those stories with a lot going on that would be interesting even without the Doctor and Peri. I'd love to see an Androzani spin-off series. Btw, if you like that type of story I recommend the audio story "Exotron" from Big Finish. Its music and sound layering is remarkably like a fifth Doctor adventure and it also has an interesting plot. Nicola Bryant does Peri so well that you'll think you were listening to a soundtrack of a lost fifth Doctor story. It's a three-parter; the one-part story that follows it is interesting but I didn't care for it. #DoctorWho bigfinish.com/releases/v/docto…

Flipante: Gente que viaja diariamente entre Salamanca y Madrid para trabajar y que por una decisión de RENFE deberán cambiar su lugar de residencia. Ninguna de las dos cosas son sostenibles. Verdaderamente compensa un trayecto de una hora y cuarenta minutos de ida y otro idéntico de vuelta cada día?
Un cambio de horario de Renfe puede provocar la mudanza de un centenar de familias a Madrid
Los problemas con los horarios de los Alvia que conectan Salamanca y Madrid están generando un importante malestar en más de cien familias que suelen acudir a la capital de España a trabajar.
Sé de gente que hace lo mismo aquí en Galicia, pero en coche a Santiago. 3 horas de viaje cada día me parecen una matada bestial, pero cada cual tendrá que tomar sus decisiones.
In the recently passed US bill defunding #UNRWA until 2025, if, when funding resumes, the Palestinian Authority initiates or supports any investigation by the ICC into a war crime committed by an Israeli national, they lose US funding.

I'm interested in playing #nomic. Nomic is a sort of metagame which involves proposing and adopting changes to the rules of the game itself, so every nomic takes place under different rules eventually, and can incorporate all sorts of play dynamics. So it's more of a metagame system or game seed. It was thought up as a model of how legislation and adjudication works, where rule-making is itself subject to rules. More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic
I've looked for ongoing nomic games on the fedi without finding any. So I'm ready to host my own. In order to play, I set up a DokuWiki with the initial ruleset. nomic.isonomia.net/#rules
If you're interested in joining, please register. So far we have only 2 players, which is not enough for a fun game. While registrations will remain open during play (at least under the initial rule set) it would be hard to get started with fewer than 4 or 5 players. nomic.isonomia.net/start?do=re…
Choose whatever name you like, a fake email address, and enter a password. Then send me a DM telling me your username so I promote your DokuWiki user to the player group which has write access to the necessary wiki pages. If you don't set up a password, ask me to reset it and I can set a temporary one for you, but don't rely on email recovery because I haven't set up email on this server and I'm not sure it will work.
I hope we find enough players and have fun. Don't worry if you've never played nomic before. If a game involving writing up and voting on the rules of the game itself sounds fun to you, feel free to give it a chance.
