So I have to give @atherjammoa a lot of credit for telling me about Eter. it is a radio app, but you can find it on the entire Apple ecosystem including Apple TV. they charge a one-time fee to unlock some features, but it was $8 so well spent. Apparently LWorks radio can be found in the search results. also the Voiceover support is awesome. Show them some love. You won't be disappointed. eter.apparentsoft.com/
This release brings three new features: message retraction ↩️ , blocking participants in group chats 🛡️, and updated support for modern group chat avatars 🖼️.
Message retraction is a good thing but not supported by others clients (for example #conversations for Android). I wish you implement audio and video calls like @dino does... #XMPP

This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
* 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?

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! ✨
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. 🔧
@giorgiolucas I don’t even understand what you are trying to say—making Thunderbird on Android so people buy Android phones instead of iPhones?
As restrictive and closed down the Apple ecosystem is, the only think I would remotely call “terrible” is ignoring a quarter of the population who happen to use another operating system
@cire901 "making Thunderbird on Android so people buy Android phones instead of iPhones?" A: That's exactly what I'm suggesting.
Regarding your second statement, it's complicated to give you a full answer here, but you are totally right.
However, you're assuming that iPhone users might be unhappy with iMail, or even willing to try another email client (given the cost of that change). And we are talking about a very corporative market, where Outlook, Gmail and even Yahoo have difficulties over iCloud.
I, for instance, dev and enthusiast of Open Source (just "recently" "aware" of the Free movement) have been on Apple's ecosystem for the past 9 years with the whole package: Mac, iPhone, iCloud, etc, and it's the dumbest thing being on Apple and not leverage that. It's the most smooth and productive setup. Apple knows it and tailor it that way.
@cire901 and one of the ways to that is not having yet another email client on Apple Store, which helps strengthen their apps' catalogue.
I trully believe the only way @thunderbird, #Firefox, thus Mozilla to thrive, is both strengthening and weakening Apple's ecosystem, and that means not being present there and help to strengthen where it thrives - and it's not that it thrives that much - on Android.
@giorgiolucas I totally see where you are coming from. I don’t think that a single App has the power to do that though.
I do believe however, that an E-Mail Client that supports syncing configs across devices while allowing stuff like PGP encryption has huge market-share potential.
On iOS, there is literally nothing. Looking at corporate alone I see huge potential—handing out predefined configs without a privacy compromise would be awesome!
@giorgiolucas And having that on iOS would in this scenario benefit the desktop as well, and maybe in the long run convince more people to use privacy-first open-source software
Due to that long run on Apple, I use as my primary email an icloud.com account. I've been using iMail for the past 9 years and just recently I switch to Thunderbird, and man you don't know how much it hurts to go to Thunderbird. iMail is great and Thunderbird is way behind it, no question at all!! Despite all the non-email related feature, which is another waste, iMail is on the vanguard of Apple email client, and it's just there when you get a new Mac.
The only thing that keeps me using Thunderbird now is my activism against private, corporations and US digital sovereignity. And also bacause I'm stubborn 😂😅
@giorgiolucas We'd love to hear where we could improve the desktop app, not just here but especially on connect.mozilla.org, where we gather and use community feedback. We want to be the mail client people choose not only because we're open source and privacy respecting, but also because we help people get things done everywhere, both on their desktop computer and their phones!

in reply to vladimmi • • •@vladimmi we had to wait until an issue with GTK's emoji/font rendering had been fixed, see github.com/msys2/MINGW-package…
Furthermore, there were issues with other libraries Gajim's Windows version depends on. All these issues are resolved now.
The next release will be available on Windows again 🎉
