accompanying AndroidAppDrain:
* 10 apps were removed as they haven't been updated long time, and their sources have since disappeared.
* for 6 more such apps we found the sources elsewhere, so we've kept them.
* for 2 apps the source repos re-surfaced, so we were able to restore them. One more will follow soon as we were able to reach the dev, who will restore the source repo.
* Nitterify was found on Codeberg, having also changed its packageName. An update is available, so please switch over.
For weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.
One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.
Did you know #Microsoft is shutting down Chinese universities by blocking access to their services? When will this come to Europe and the rest of the world? How dependent on Microsoft or Google is the day to day work in your organization?
Here's an example, one of many: scmp.com/tech/tech-war/articleâŚ

We've had a few iOS updates in the last few Android Progress Reports, but with more substantial iOS news, it's time for a name change! So here's the shiny, new(ish) Mobile Progress Report! â¨
Last month, we published our initial iOS repository, made plans for Testflight and laid out our intended initial features. We also discuss initial release engineering and localization decisions. For the Android app, we made a LOT of fixes. đ§

The Postbox and Zen Postbox add-ons have been updated with a bunch of new styles!
* Solid Colors renamed to match HTML color names
* 24 new solid colors added
* 5 new gradient backgrounds added
* 17 new pattern backgrounds added
* 11 animated backgrounds added
* Fixed the load order so it overrides Postbox styles in Bookface if present
The previous solid color names have been mapped to the new ones, so any existing Postboxes in your feed using the old names will still look good.
The gradient backgrounds were ones that got missed from the initial release and are similar to the ones Facebook used to offer.
The pattern backgrounds all use pure CSS, no images, so they will render fast and do not incur an additional resource load from the server.
The animated backgrounds are exclusively available on servers that use either of the two add-ons. None of the animated styles are included in the Bookface scheme because some of them use SVG images. They use pure CSS animation as well, no JS code or animated GIF images.

You can see a live demo of the animated ones here: randompenguin1.github.io/samplâŚ
They are coded to stop animating when you hover or touch them, adopting a default appearance. I did it that way because "animation-play-state" is still a bit unreliable and I liked the idea of them having a "poster" state rather than just pausing at where ever they were in the animation loop.
These are the changes and fixes in this release:
* Restyled âNew Messageâ button to make it more obvious.
* Fixed Profile Pics and Cover Photos not working in old iOS browsers
* Moved Postbox styles to the end of the stylesheet
* Minified Postbox CSS.
* Restyled Item Responses
* Action Buttons youâve interacted with before now adopt accent color.
* Fix for disabled Action Buttons to make it clear they are disabled.
* Fixed issue with slow-loading secondary toolbar in Safari
* Updated with Postbox version 1.1 styles
â names of solid colors now match HTML color names
â 24 new solid colors
â 5 new gradient backgrounds
â 17 new pattern backgrounds
Some of these will be fairly obvious. The big one is that the Action Buttons below posts and comments used to change to the accent color on hover and there was no indicator if youâd previously interacted with any of them. NOW they have a slight shift in darkness/lightness on hover and the accent color indicates youâve previously clicked the Like, Dislike, Share, or Event buttons (the exceptions being Comment or Quote). If a post's scope is limited (not public) the "Share" and "Quote" buttons are now obviously disabled by being faded out.
Engagement Counts also now show an icon indicating the type of engagement, which should make it easier to see what kind of engagement a post or comment is getting. And if there are 2+ the individuals are revealed in a pop-over box rather than pushing the entire layout down.
The new Postbox pattern backgrounds are done with pure CSS, no images! So theyâll load and display fast and donât incur additional server calls. Postboxes are just a nice looking way to dress up your text-only posts. Of course only Friendica users will see them, and only if they are using the Bookface scheme or their instance has installed one of the Postbox add-ons. The styling doesnât transfer to other platforms (Note: there are still issues with Postbox posts shared to Diaspora and Hubzilla).
Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback, reported issues, and tested things for me to help improve Bookface for everyone. :D
