So today in the "how many sounds do you need" category, we have another Emoji ...
Now if you're using #NVDASr, it's a "shushing face". Not terribly bad as these things go, I guess.
But if you happen to have an iPhone ...
> "Face with single finger over mouth in shushing gesture"
That's 9 words.
If you have the emoji suffix on, it's 15 syllables.
Crazy, eh?

I've had Fedora as my main operating system for 4 years and couldn't be happier!
I only use Windows at work out of necessity, but at home it's 100% free software. LibreOffice has completely replaced Microsoft's Office suite, and honestly, I don't miss it at all.
Who else here made this transition? What was your experience like?
For any #FirstContact fans, #PeterCawdron has put his next book up for preorder toward the end of October.
I'm going through a difficult patch and not reading much at the moment, but we're looking at nearly 6 weeks away. Hopefully things will have improved by then. My daughter's due to be on a school trip, my Son is due to be a few weeks old, and my job is due to be paused. SO I might get there around about the right time.

Friday.
The iron tripped our home electric supply this morning. I reset, came down to the office, unplugged the mesh wifi repeater thing because it struggles to reconnect without the stupid app, then turned on the hard drive I use for batch processing multigig videos, then got distracted by a phone call.
Next, the hard drive goes green on my dashboard. It's etherneted into the unplugged extender.
Please send help.

CoMaps is now on IzzyOnDroid!
IzzyOnDroid is an Android store for Free & Openβ―Sourceβ―Software. The apps are free (as in βfree beerβ and as in βfree speechβ) and Open Source.
Builds for IzzyOnDroid are directly from developers and signed by developers. This enables very fast publishing (whereas F-Droid re-builds apps from source).
There are several ways to install and update CoMaps via IzzyOnDroid:

Builds for IzzyOnDroid are directly from developers and signed by developers. This enables very fast publishing (whereas F-Droid re-builds apps from source).
So any developer can distribute self signed malicious apps fast.
Without checks. Wonderful Idea.
Fdroid builds from reviewed source code.
I will stick with FDroid and recommend others to do the same.
@Kerplunk we'd suggest you read the security section at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/iβ¦ π TL;DR: multiple scans are performed on apps published via #IzzyOnDroid, to make it as safe & secure as can be. In the 10 years of our existence, there hasn't been a single incident of a malicious app. So please, don't spread uninformed misinformation ("without checks" even). Thanks! @CoMaps
PS: IzzyOnDroid also has #reproducibleBuilds to ensure apps were built from the indicated source. Planned for CoMaps as well

@ib @IzzyOnDroid
Have your system ever detected anything malicious before?
I was hit by a malicious verified by playstore app, so yes, the experience was painful.
The most malicious thing on any android device is inclusion of GAPPS, the google tracking and spyware suite.
I have absolutely nothing against izzysoft way but now have a non google phone and after binning a phone that became malicious, extremely cautious with regard to applications and stores.
@Kerplunk @ib I cannot really tell about "malicious" β but "suspicious", yes. Usually before (or rather instead) of inclusion. We then do not include such app unless clarified and found "OK". And yes, we avoid proprietary components like GMS. We make few exceptions where it's unavoidable, but then clearly mark the app with the NonFreeComp anti-feature
And yes, being cautious is essential, so thanks for taking care! We try to assist you there as good as we can, eg. with full transparency
@IzzyOnDroid @Kerplunk I've wondered for a while, better late than never: if I add the #IzzyOnDroid repo to the F-Droid app, how does the app choose which repo to pull updates from for each app? And in particular for CoMaps?
And are there other F-Droid client apps that handle this better that you'd recommend?
Thanks
@IzzyOnDroid @Kerplunk Thanks! Perhaps worthy of an article to link to, similar to the security one you linked before. For me this is one of the things I overthink that makes me wary.
For example I have added the repository for Bitwarden, and I'm worried that they can (for example, in theory) add a malicious version of whatever app I'm searching for in the real F-Droid repo with a fake version number that's newer than the real one.
Earlier this year, we reported about our progress concerning reproduciblebuilds. Meanwhile,more and more apps are using this; you can find some statisticsher...f-droid.org
@neatnit Yupp. App signing is kind of TOFU (Trust On First Use). So check carefully before the first install, then the "signing stuff" protects you against malicious actors providing "updates". It's just one piece of protection, though β there's e.g. always the "supply chain" (e.g. a dependency the app uses could "sneak things in"), which is why we established several additional scans, @CoMaps @Kerplunk
(1/2)
(2/2) For example, our "APK library scanner" finding "unexpected (proprietary) libs" is no rarity. For apps in our repo, in 90% this was unintended and got fixed by the corresponding dev quickly. In the other 10% we were either able to convince the dev to use a FOSS alternative (while updates were stalled here), or (in rare cases) had to remove the app entirely.

I am afraid this is another legal bribing scenario. Hey Google, we received a complaint that you were illegally collecting data without user's consent. Ohh we are sorry EU. You can sue us and we pay you 325 million. Deal? Deal.
